Arike played an amazing game but she's still a 36 FG% shooting chucker. They were right to leave her off the team.

This game was fun

Adam can't do anything besides urge them to play harder, but since NBA players feel they're so delicate, it's not gonna happen.

Pretty obvious Adam Silver ain't happy with the effort, but the game itself, if they don't play hard, the format won't matter, and I'm not even up for giving them more money. Brehs about to sign $80 mil supermaxes but I gotta pay you more money so you can play harder? fukk you and your endorsements.

Yea that's the downside of them getting these huge contracts. Like I'm happy these dudes is getting paid but they simply don't give a fukk anymore and it's really hurt the NBA imo

Cause her team suck she gotta chuck to even keep them in the game

the women's pool for Team USA is much more stable than the men's going forward.


The 2028 Men's team, I maybe see 3-4 people on the current team that could be there in LA for 2028 with no real locks to replace them outside of Flagg.

Maybe they'll finally put Jaylen on the team.

It's not just about effort. Nobody expects playoff intensity.
Some of the players flat don't want to be there.
The 2024 All Star game was like a toddler throwing a tantrum when asked to do something they don't want to do.
So Silver needs to do something to remove all the sabotage players who don't want to be there.

that's an easy solution.

Go normal for 24-25, and if the effort is deem unsuitable (and he knows what that is cuz he saw what we saw) by whoever, deem them ineligible for the game going forward, which means, no ASG notch on your belt, no financial incentive (which is why they even bother showing up) and that affects their sneaker deals.

For example, Luka wouldn't play in the all-star game for at least 5 years after the shyt he did. I don't care how many votes he got. Might as well vote for Harambe. Draymond was ripping dudes for trying during the all-star game. He can stay home too. Troll from your pod. and if players are afraid to get hurt, they have 48 hours to let Silver know they're too p*ssy to go. That way we'll never have all-star snubs. Let someone else make a name for themselves.

ill hold my judgement until her team gets back to full strength. But if she wasnt hitting and did what she was doing during the 5 min stretch I wouldve have pulled her lol. Its like a upgraded mitchell out there but she went off today so im happy for her. Shes like when you create a player at pg just to make sure you get to shoot on every possession lol

Only thing that's gonna make these clowns play a competitive NBA ASG is if the city boos them for phoning it in during the game. And the only city I can immediately think of that may do that is Philly
