MY BOY MITCHELL WINNING THE DUNK CONTEST AND ROTY
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh hi Ben.
Cause it makes non athletic whites seeth
Same reason people like sports. Displays of athleticism
That shit was a lame gimmick jumping over crouching children woopty doo Dennis Smith is getting robbed
>he's actually produced in over a decade
Ben is a better dunker. He would not have misses that
Nance sucks, how did he get to the finals
All these gimmicks and Smith had the absolute best dunk fuck this shit
Dennis can't even make his dunks, he doesn't deserve to go further. Start off small then finish big
Can't shoot so all he can do is dunk, he'd better be better or he'd straight up be even more of a bust than he already is.
Because it's a good story with his dad having won the contest back in the day.
He's literally just a generic dunker with some genetic disease that people can use to shill for brownie points.
9/10
Mitchell is legit not going to lie
Mitchell winning this
What he wasn't jumping over midgets or putting on a black panther mask or dressing up like daddy's he did a dunk no-one else can do straight up. This is shit is the gimmick contest
How did they not know what he did?
Nance might survive this with this
That was impressive.
He double tapped a dunk, lmao.
do they always give such high scores? seems like it should be out of 5 instead of 10
>not even the right jersey
lmao this is so trash
reggie miller is by far the worst

worst dunk contest ever
Wtf, I hate Mitchell now.
Pretty much. This is where the 7-pt scale goes to die.
wow what a shit contest not even the crowd is getting hyped
His sister looks autistic
Is she /our girl/?
Larry was robbed by this wannabe Vince Carter kid
We need a freak of nature to do a 720 windmill
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
WHY YOU SO MAD SIMMONS SHITTER???
DSJ got robbed
Nance got robbed by the Vince Carter gimmick these judges suck it needs to be all players
Why is she a coal burner? She's too pretty for that
Prime LeBron could've done it but he was a pussy.
Westbrook tried getting into the dunk contest as a rookie but no one voted him to play because he wasn't hyped or popular back then.
Most of Nance's dunks were basic as fuck. He was trying to milk his Dad's history.
Oladipo and DSJ choked hard.
They ruined this contest imo.
$$$$$
Because God is good
He made his dunks his was the only true 10 without some lame ass prop or Jersey
Aaron Gordon sat down in mid air while jumping over a mascot.
I'm just going to be disappointed every year.

They could've made this competitive but blew their load early.

You know it's not. It's gonna get old before the 6 minute mark in the 1st quarter.
Disappointing performances all around.
all star games are always trash
The over/under on combined points is 346.
Its literally always the worst event
anyone got a stream?
>thinking the all star game will redeem these other events

it's over. don't bother senpaitachi. PG bricked everything, hope he stays in OKC desu.

Match made in heaven.
Mitchell did the same fucking dunk three times. Fuck this shit.
social media
Thanks bro
The last one was Carter's dunk
Now THIS is cute.
It was a much uglier version of VC's dunk
He slipped.
But obviously just shows how difficult Vince's dunks were. Especially to get it right the first time.

I hate Bronny's hair. He'd look so much cuter with short hair no homo
Still remember that. People were looking around like what just happened.
You know what I just realized? The NBA prides itself on being so socially conscious and politically progressive, commissioner is proud of players making political stances, etc. And people criticize the NFL for seemingly covering up its players personalities and to stay apolitical.
And yet Colin Kaepernick's kneeling thing a few years ago made infinitely more difference and attention in America than anything progressive or political the NBA has ever done in its entire existence. And Roger Goodell actually supported players kneeling, while Adam Cuck Silver told players they were banned from kneeling, even though it's a rule he could have easily changed.
Really makes you think doesn't it.
>PG9
what do you expect? he's a fucking JEW, he only wants the appearance of the NBA supporting black people, but all the real statements from NBA players have been outside the NBA via twitter and interviews. Actua-----[This post has been removed by the National Basketball Association due to violation of league rules].
Legitimately made me think but then I realized that it inherently comes with the NFL being the country's most popular sport.
Those LA rims man, and the LA court, and the LA atmosphere.
Just isn't meant to be. Needs Westbrook passing to him to put up career highs in 3s.
Why are you typing paragraphs nerd? No one cares about kneeling
>2-0
The NBA fanbase leans to the left. It's just preaching to the choir.
>Bobby Marks accurately predicted every single contest winner today from a ESPN experts survey
What comes "inherently" though? The point is that it would make the most sense for the NFL to be the most middle of the road league because it doesn't want to alienate a large portion of its fanbase, right? But if that should be the case, then why is it that Roger Goodell came out in support of probably the most politically-active movement in the history of American professional sports that got all the way to the White House?
it's just crazy to me that cuck Silver and the NBA prides itself on being very socially and politically progressive, bans an owner for privately recorded conversations, removes an all-star game because of a gender law, yet with one event the anti-political NFL has had more political impact than the NBA ever has, and cuck silver purposely tried to avoid the same controversy

Tell me about PG, why is he incapable of making 3s under pressure?
Why are you obsessed with LA?
>all star weekend
>pressure
The winner doesn't even matter
Is golf the ultimate redpill sport?
desu, i don't think he can handle the pressure of playing for a great organization such as Los Angeles, if he crumbles n a 3pt contest. I don't want him to go down the Dwight Howard path. You can keep him OKC, you guys are used to losing.
YOU GOTTA LIVE FOR THE MOMENT
YOU GOING TOE TO TOE WITH KLAY AND BOOKER
YOU GOTTA WIN THIS
NO OT
BALL GAME
Why doesn't KD do the dunk contest? He could pull of some crazy stuff with lose long ass arms.
He had to let Booker win. He wants to fuck him. He knew he wouldn't give it up if he beat him.
And what y’all favorite player doing this weekend?
KD isn't that athletic. Like it'd be hard for him to use his arms the way you'd think.
Mitchell has long arms and he's athletic, so he was able to do crazy dunks catching the ball way back and really low. KD based on in game dunks I've seen has issues catching bad lob passes and completing the dunks.
A guy like Dwight has already done everything you can as a long armed athletic big in game imo.
Dayum... Murray is smashin that????
Is the ASB boring for us because we watch tons of basketball and have been for years? Or is it legitimately boring, are the normies loving it?

Disgusting
Oh man, trading one sun-bleached plastic surgery experiment for another how humble and down-to-earth man.
>Devin Booker set the new 3PT contest NBA record
70 points wasn't enough.
>Paul George hinted he knows what he'll do this offseason.
>To clarify, George was asked if he knows what he'll do this summer. "I don't," he said. "I know what I feel is best." So if he knows it, does he have an idea of his plan? Russell Westbrook also suggested that he thinks PG is going to stay, so this will obviously be a huge story this summer.
OMG
should be taken with a grain of salt. The bonus rack inflates scores
Literally everyone gets a bonus rack tho dumb ass.
He only missed on from the rack and smartly closed out with it on the right corner.
Everyone gets a moneyball rack.
The fact he's the best to do it is already impressive. Had 20 points before his rack.
Is 6ix9ine still alive?
That's my point. All of the scores are inflated. 30 used to be the highest you can get and now it's 34. Somebody like Mark price's 24 or bird's 22 were more impressive because you actually had to clutch money balls
I wanna fuck Booker no homo yes homo jk no homo

From what we can tell, Hiro updated Cloudflare protections on Cred Forums. Ever go to a site and it asks you to wait 5 seconds to verify you aren't a bot? It's that that Hiro has added. Because of the way 4chanx works (through API calls), Hiro has also gone out of his way to set a limit on how fast you can update threads or you can also hit this limit if you have too many threads open. Hitting the limit gets you a ban from the servers, and auto update threads and thread watcher won't work.
Me and ccd are working on a workaround but this is a issue on Cred Forums's side. I say issue, but this is clearly a move that foreshadows the death of archives and probably the death of API access. Hiro is determined to get rid of both.
If you leave your thread update counter to 30, you shouldn't have any issues unless you open say 4-5 threads at once and then you may receive a ban.

Hey guys, just dunking my way to the ROTY, don't mind me
Lonzo had a concert for his album tonight after the game , he can do all this but can’t get back on the court
I don't, but bring it on, I guess.
The dunk contest and three point contest were trash as fuck.
that is pb, he works on Cred Forums x...if you haven't figured it out
hey canada what's his ranking in the elite 10 again?
I also do work with Floens on Clover, currently working on a proper filtering system
He's #4 behind the Hinkster, me and gowiz. Clips got bumped down to #5.
Daft Punk.
i, i don't think Kobe Bryant is in my top 10. if my list is based on their games, then he's a carbon copy of MJ and well, i already got MJ. i can't rank based on personality.

It's lamer and lamer
ALL CAPS NO SPACES
He's a 10/10 commissioner imo. He's rules with an iron but fair fist. And he truly listens to the players and what the fans have to say and takes it into consideration. He put in work to reduce the pre-season to avoid injuries (even though we have had a shit ton so far this season, season ending) and even tried to make AS weekend better for us. To top it off, he's even considering reformatting the playoffs so we can get the best quality basketball possible. He's good in my book.
>tried to make AS weekend better for us
didn't televise LITERALLY the most entertaining part
>kyrie was right
How will we ever recover?
good job. good communication with all parties involved, tackling some issues like the densely packed seasons, tanking, and the lame all-star games head on, standing up for teams and players where other leagues cower away from scrutiny. can't solve everything in just a few years but the general direction is good.
The thing is that I hate all the changes he has made.
I hate the Steph V Lebron Allstar game format and the playground draft format
I hate the Awards night for MVP, ROTY and everyone else
I hate the league drowning in SJW issues like never before and the players seeming like they have more power than ever. Believe me, they WILL win the battle with owners at the next Lockouts because of it, and the game will suffer because of it.

why didnt you fuckers tell me the gleague dunk contest was on!
that ass is fat
This actually makes me think. Is it possible that Westbrook is actually that dude that inspires other players in the league to play harder? Honestly, it's like almost anyone who played with him has said mostly positive stuff about him and aspire to bring that same level of energy to every game.
It also really has me looking at his ability to create for others since he tends to generate so many open looks. He's not a traditional point guard nor is he a great ball handler, but he's assured 9 assists in every game he's played for the past three seasons.
The only difference between him and D-Rose was that Westbrook cared about his body enough off the court to push himself on it while Rose was more careless with his play on the court. He didn't make the adjustments to save his own body like most athletes do (which makes him look more explosive but less likely to maintain over his career).
why is all star such a fucking cringe fest?
>the difference between rose and westbrook
Kareem wasn't a FA either.
Inflated egotism, NBA's "We are the world" message and over compensated executives,players, etc.
Can the wolves win a title this year?
northwest conference, sure. it's also by far the hardest conferen to win at the moment after years of the southwest being the slaughterhouse of the NBA.

The twolves' title hopes for now and in the foreseeable future all hinge on Wiggins taking his game to the next level, but he shows no signs of that happening
They're leading the EFL Championship
Your 2019 MVP
Why wouldn't someone want to sign with the Lakers in FA? Even if they aren't the best place to win a championship, they have the best combination of i) marketing opportunity and ii) off the court opportunity that it evens out not getting immediate rings

So the Lakers AREN'T the biggest brand in American sports? I'm a status seeker though. Only brainlets aren't
NBA players already do all this shit in the off season in NY and LA, plus their agency already runs the majority of their business and publicity for them.
You do not need to live in LA or NY to fully exploit all the business opportunities available there.
This isn't the 1980's dumbass.
Yeah but think about this - LONZO BALL has the 11th most sold jersey in the NBA BECAUSE he's a Laker. The interesting part about him is being a Laker
Imagine if PG13 comes to the Lakers or even a Klay Thompson? They'd become top 10 in jersey sold
>mfw a Simmons simp says assists and rebounds are more important than points, 3PT shooting, and FT% in the modern NBA
Tell me why DeRozan doesn’t have a shoe deal then
isn't there revenue sharing and the jerseys get split between all 30 teams?
He was already famous before he got drafted dumbass.
His dad is the only reason he's popular as he exploits the retardation of memeing 14 year old hype beasts that watch college and high school ballislife mixtapes on YouTube.
He's signed to Nike dumbass.
He just had a Kobe series collab that's his signature shoe.
yo wtf nobody told me this
Yes, and people get even MORE rich when the Lakers are good because the Lakers are such a draw than when they're good, they bring more people to every arena
That's cool for that one case, but it also shows the power of the Laker brand that Laker nation (22 million members according to Facebook) can singlehandedly get a rookie to the top 15 in jerseys sold.

silver never was a fan of that. he considers the number of potential coast-to-coast series damaging. the clamoring got too loud to ignore, though.
Thats exactly what im talking about. I dont want my rapties to go out west to face portland or some shit
you could easily get series like portland-boston and miami-golden state in the first round. take that to seven games and the winning team will feel like they played ten in the first round. i'm not fond of this either.
no its not, would be so much better
oh, it might be mitigated by returning to the 2-3-2 format to some degree, but eh.
Not to mention the fatigue will increase injury risks
Also no more conference rivalries
Where the fuck can I watch that Kobe-Shaq sit down? I fucking missed it because I was at the gym. Also my nigga DSJ got robbed...FUCK THE NBA.
Nice trips. Maybe they should also make the first round 5 games again.
I missed it too. Was working n shieet
Yea you get the feeling dsj had much more to show
When was the last time the Suns had a top 3 pick anyway? Some teams just aren't lucky.
just split the nba into to 2 afc/nfc like conferences with 3 5 team divisions.
This cuts a bit off of the end but here you go, for now at least:
yeah i'm fine with east and west not mattering anymore for the frivolous shit like the all-star teams, and i'm even open to reshuffling the divisions or conferences when the inevitable extension happens, but playoff rivalries are super fun.
in fact they're not just fun, but they give the league much needed and tangible history and legacy. miami-portland is ??? but spurs-mavs, oh boy.
who team /curry/ here?
that does nothing to change the playoff logistics which is the whole problem
outchea
o/ only because of giannis tho
rapties bros... let us shake hands and defeat these crippled team lebron niggas
anyone else being old enough to remember old all star games where the game wasnt a circus and meant smth to the players?
>not shooping giannis on lejesus and simmons on the meme brother
Of so you're scared of the "best teams" not truly being the best because they'll get exposed by a better team?
This is exactly why we need 1-16. Best teams end up winning the championship. Not just the best teams of a weak as fuck arbitrary conference.
what
LeBitch having to face the Nuggets instead of some shit team like the Pistons every year would make my cock hard.
Guaranteed to have at least 2 of the series go to 6 or 7 games and might get upset at least once instead of going to the Finals every single year against awful teams.
lebron will still makr the WCF every year if he had a decent supporting cast.
No fucking chance. Their no defense meme chucking asses would get exposed by the West who do that even better.
nah
I had to watch it on video because I missed the entire all-star shit too because I was at this party at this bar/lounge...but seeing the way things went....DSJ definitely got robbed and the way the dunk contest is judged is absolutely retarded. Getting a 9 and 10 just for retarded props and costumes. Like I told a friend, the dunk contest has been shit the last 5 out 7 years. The one with AG was pretty decent...but since then, the last good dunk contest we had was when Dwight Coward and Nate Rob was going at it. I'm no longer a LeBron hater and actively root for him against GSW...but he's still a chickenshit faggot for never entering the dunk contest. I would've killed to see a dunk contest with: LeBron, Wade, Melo, Jason Richardson/JR Smith.
>NBA jacking itself off over its importance in society
>MFW BUST SIMMONS COULD NEVER PLAY THE DRUMS IF HIS LIFE DEPENDED ON IT JUST LIKE HE CAN'T SHOOT FTS
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
MUH BOY MITCHELL IS LITERALLY A PROTEGEE IN BASKETBALL AND MUSIC
league keeps rigging draft so lakers get top picks
too bad they draft nothing but busts
This kid is literally meant to be great
Literally perfect.
Gallinari better
hes ugly af tho
#2 overall historically is not the place to be. The 90s, Kevin Durant and Bill Russell are outliers.
>black brotha listening to red hot chili peppers
CORNY ASS
60s and Isaiah Thomas too.
There's a lot of chicken vs egg with the suns; do they just draft bad players or are the players bad because the suns drafted them
I love watching basketball and the NBA, but I can't stand these political athletes. I just can't stand it Cred Forums.
Wtf is this pregame show. Why the fuck are they talking about systemic racism. I wanna see Charles Barkley shoot the shit.
THEY DIDN'T EVEN EAT THE FOOD
FUCK CHUCK AND SNOOP
Like Giannis and Embiid but loathe their lesbian captain
>Wtf is this pregame show. Why the fuck are they talking about systemic racism.
ingram is going to be an allstar

Why is Valerie Jarret on this segment?
>ingram is going to be an allstar
dont post anime while trying to make a point, you may aswell just post a picture of you with a dick in your mouth
Name one thing Ingram good at besides being long with good mobility
>dont post anime while trying to make a point, you may aswell just post a picture of you with a dick in your mouth
will LeBron accept Ingram's invitation to a debate on live TV?
Don't take it seriously. It's just Aussie bantz.
>ingram going to be a allstar
he's 20 years old

How will the Lakers fare in the playoffs next season?
As well as you can when you're not a playoff team.
Not well. They'll be a lottery team instead.
So another year of Ingram/Kuzma/Ball + the 2 max FA's won't be a playoff team in the weak West?
>ingram going to be a allstar
>the 2 max FA's
Luol Deng and Mozgov?
>Area 21
this whole pregame show has been terrible
answer the goddamn question. What about Ingram's game specifically makes you thing he will be an allstar? He doesn't shoot well, he doesn't finish well in traffic, he doesn't have elite vision, his defense is nothing special, he doesn't rebound that well, he doesn't catch fire like a Booker, etc. Tell me what about him makes you think "future allstar"
Jesus and Muhammad
Lakers deserve only the best of the best.
>Actually, I do have one of those already...
topfuckingkek
get in here, fellow, 56%-ers!
Shaq just slapped Chuck in the face. What did he mean by this?
Buddha as your 3rd best player. Guy is always calm and keeps the team together.
his head is too small for his body
They're getting Jimmy Waiter and Clay Sampson in 2019.
They're both elite players from the ABA and just close enough to Klay Thompson and Jimmy Butler that Lakers fans wouldn't be able to tell the difference and kill Magic for being a fraud snakeoil salesman.
Just bantz la
>top pick 3 times in a row
what a fucking joke
But LeBron picked him first
>all of them busts
Holy Shit, Rick Barry and Bob Pettit
I make sure that northside eat
>deserve
Get the fuck out of here, your GM is Magic Fucking Johnson
Wait
one is best of the best, the other is best of the most despicable people to have ever cursed the human race.
Team Stephen wins by 30
>not picking up the irony in the post
>unironically still thinking Jesus was white in the Information Age
>implying LeBron and his super athlete team don't just dunk endlessly while team "steph" brick 3s
I actually hate Kevin Hart with a passion.
Why do Shaq and Chuck hate Dwight so much?
>It's how I Curry myself in this sport
Dwight had the chance to dominate the league if he realized his potential. His prime (if the back injury didn't flare up) would have coincided just as Curry and Klay were rising up.
What the fuck am I watching right now? Is this basketball?
what is all this cringe
all im seeing is lowpoints in all these careers
It's LA """culture"""""
>muh hard work
none of these faggots worked a day in their lifes, it's just being born 7 ft. tall. I'm sick of Jewish media brainwashing the youth into thinking they can become NBA players by just working hard
Adam Devine is actually pretty funny, why the fuck is he reducing himself to this?
>trailer trash white bitch with braids krumping
He really isn't. You just have shit tier tastes in comedy.

Al Horford
Mr. 13ppg
I didn't like Kevin Hart before this, now I want him to rape someone so his career is ruined
He already admitted to cheating on his wife and nothing changed
He got even more rich off of Jumanji
