I saw a relative of an top 10 high school recruit say most of these new kids coming up come from well off families. They just aren't built like the Iversons, T-Mac's & Shaq's. They're quiet & almost emotionless. Look at the next batch with Wiggins, Jabari, Randle & Exum..talented kids but they're not like the early 2000's players in regards to charisma.
This ain't the And 1 NBA anymore. This NBA is more Spurs/Euro like then it used to be. OKC Thunder still play the old NBA style but how many nikkas are as good as Kevin Durant or Russell Westbrook.

that's true less and less of these players are coming from poverty/humble beginnings.

The NBA is never bringing the ASG back to N.O. lol Crowd was dead the entire night, but I don't blame them. The All-star weekend has run its course and hasn't been entertaining in a long time.

Only reason the NBA won't kill it because of the $$$ from marketing. It seemed alot cooler back in the day, but maybe because the stars of today has no edge or personality. I can't really put my finger on it, but looking back at the old All star events...it was live.

Plus ASW is stomping grounds for whores to stalk they're prey (NBA Ballers and Celebs)
Last year in houston was pretty bad too. But yeah huge point, todays players are emotionless. Theres never gonna be a entertainer as good as shaq ever again. These new guys are emotionless and camera shy

nikka yes I follow bball like that my favorite sport.Josh got snubbed before but JR never did.

i dont know man. aside from a handful of squads, these teams are all over the place.

the stuff today looks more like pickup ball than any other era. i dont think people are complaining about the lack of AND 1 type stuff anyway. the players themselves are turn-offs.

What teams play pick up? Detroit, OKC, and NYK is the main ones I can think of. Philly and Phx play an uptempo style. Most teams run plays and control tempo, how successful they are is about talent but they play much better team ball than they use to. The Iso ball era is dead.

You know what crazy....MJ saved JR ass in his first dunk in the final round cause he gave him 10 when his next final dunk that he needed a 49 score to beat Mason and he did the amazing, the ball between his legs and finished with a reverse :mindblown: (That is number one top dunk ever to me)....You can tell MJ actually liked J-Rich like he believes in him that he would pull it off something he never see it before.

yeah, that j-rich self-oop off the baseline, with the left hand...between the legs...:blessed: i've said it for years, that's the best dunk ever in the contest. i can't think of a better one.

besides the horrible format, nick cannon can fukk off and i don't ever want to hear a judge speak ever again, no matter who they are. all i want them to do is hold up the scores (yes, the scores out of 10, instead of stupid ass tablets with conferences on them) they're giving the dunkers. plus, they need a real crowd in there. that shyt was pga status.

and yeah, no matter how low your opinion of pete holmes, he still is funnier than kevin hart.

:manny: you said it. not me.

but it was like half the people in this thread going in on kevin hart in the early pages.

and now i see people hyping up this corny show. i mean, i respect their opinions but its just mind-boggling to me.
Breh, the demographics here are not what cats like and me encounter in real life.

true, but there were a few names that shocked me.
