NBA ALLSTAR WEEKEND: Trae Young - 2024 Allstar

[JTB]

Trae did so good tonight ! I love that he just went out there and competed.

he was so close to winning the 3pt contest! …I know he’s done it twice now but I think he should enter again. I can really see him winning it one of these years.

 

something about Trae is very different personality wise and I mean it in a positive great way. Like dude just seem ultra mature compared to when he first came league

I'm always surprised when people are surprised. He came in the league at 20, he's now 25.

Were you the same as a 20 year old as you were when you were 25?

We are supposed to mature as we age no?

I was wondering the same.

McClung has no competition.  He’s amazing.  Ja and Ant Man versus him would be history.

Towns is on the West’s top squad currently surrounded by 4 plus defenders in the starting lineup.  He good.  He strikes me as the type who would prefer the familiar tri-state area in FA anyway.

If he gets moved this offseason it will purely be about the tax bill.  Nobody expects him to force a trade.

So this is what Mac McClung was talking about. The dunk you have to watch in slow motion to see it.

It is still embarrassing to have a guy who can’t even make an NBA roster in the dunk contest.  This is an NBA All-Star competition not an open field.  I’m sure there are plenty of guys in gyms who could out shoot some of the 3pt participants.  There is a reason we populate these things with NBA players and usually NBA stars.

[JayBirdHawk]

Lol Jaylen...with the fake Dee Brown attempt.

[Iverwig]

JB should be embarrassed over that last dunk. 

[hawkman]

Mac will end this in the next round. Kudos to Brown for having the guts to compete though.

Trae represented really well … as always the night is fun until the dunk contest that takes all the steam out … so boring … I don’t care about these guys I have never heard of and Jaylon Brown is not a dunk contest type player

[JayBirdHawk]

They need to make the 3pt contest the final event.

[AHawks89]

These judges ruining the dunk contest too.

Yes, dunk contest is slow and boring … make it first or get rid of it.

[JayBirdHawk]

The crowd booing the scores -  funny 

[capstone21]

Best part was the booing the Boston Celtics court

[JayBirdHawk]

Crowd cheer for 50s ...more that the dunk. 

[capstone21]

Dunk contest = yawn

This is an embarrassment.  Jaylen is so cringey and so Marietta.  McClung did all his best dunks last year.

If Ja and Ant aren’t in it next year I’m not bothering to watch.  Knowing Ja tho he’ll have some even lamer props smh.  He’ll jump over his dad holding a diamond encrusted mini AK.

 I think John Collins still takes the cake with the plane
