Here's another(5 games):

The cut of is 60% because its the biggest whole number they have to work with.. If a player hit 30 and shit 70% that would be a new record

I don't care much for the stat to be honest, but it is 'efficiency greatness' non-the-less

Them Chris Paul State Farm commercials though

Cliff Paul, GOAT fictional character

Kyrie has the sickest handles in the league right now, he pulled off some gret moves last knight, Brandon Knight also showed great 1 on 1 skill.
Their battle should create some debate as to whether they should make a 1 on 1 contest at the all-star break, because it would be that awesome.

Yeah, it's a whole number and all but still arbitrary.

Check this out:

Lower points to 28 on 60% and:

6 - Karl Malone - 1993
5 - Shaquille O'Neal - 2002
5 - Amare Stoudemire - 2004


25 and 10 on 60%:
7 - Charles Barkley - 1990
6 - Shaquille O'Neal - 2005


What's actually more impressive to me is how LeBron has only shot under 45% 3 times all season(he's admitted he worries about it and tries to shoot 50% everygame but still very impressive.)

Kyrie Irving what a mf Boss. Wins the 3 point contest. He'll probably have a shot at MVP even tomorrow too.

Like I've been saying the future #1 PG for long time

Kyrie has everything to be a top-3-5 player in the league in the near future, he has the shot, handles and speed. Love everything about him

Absolutely terrible slam dunk contest. This sh!t is getting worse by the year.

I'm only watching it because of the TNT crew

Thank god Kenny, Chuck and Shaq are commentators, at least they make it amusing and make fun of these guys.

Terrence Ross and Evans kinda saved it.


But James White was looking


And Nick Cannon you can

James White flopped big time, put him in with Shannon Brown and Josh Smith's second run as huge disappointments of recent times.. All of those dunks that he missed, he has hit before.. Choked under the bring lights

Gerald Green has my respect, his second dunk was ridiculously creative and very hard to do..

Shout out to Terrance Ross for representing though

I hate this East v West BS...like who gives a crap where they are from?

Ryan Anderson got the same first round score as Irving, but didnt get to the final because Bonner got 1 more and both happen to be in the West...weak...

Dunk contest was a bit boring/

I guess White aint got the legs anymore, the dunks he missed he did before easily. Even his first dunk was from inside the FT line which he never does...though, it was still better than Ross' dunk.

Ross and Evans didnt impress me at all...Evans did the same dunk twice, but had a bullocks gimmick picture. It was funny but not impressive

the best dunk of the night was Greens first, his head was up at the time..I think it was a bad choice on the 2nd one though, I dont really like the dunk even if he makes it.

I think he would of won it if he made better choices.

As for the Lebron thing...it is special Swag, but people are talking like we are seeing some level of play we never seen before....its not all that.

Ross was impressive to me on a couple dunks. THe behind the back, the legit VC tribute.

White had definitely lost his legs, not even close to the same. Shame he only got to do it now.

Now that Evans has lost they can take him out the league, since it was clear he only still had a roster spot cause he won last year.

No bias and I said it last year but I generally see better dunks on a college dunk contest nowadays:



The off backboard windmill and free throw liner would've been 50's.
#LetDrummondDunk


It's about time for a couple of these pussified stars to step up and compete. Westbrook, LBJ...

And yeah that East/West points format was ridiculous. Who the hell thought of that.

Drummond is a freak of nature, 6'10-11 guy making under the leg dunks.
I was so annoyed when he got injured, the player I was looking forward to the most. Can't believe he was the biggest question mark before the draft

Drummond defies all logic, really he does.

Someone his size and weight shouldnt be able to move in the way he does and have the sort of generally quickness he has.

Ross wasnt all that bad no I agree, that VC tribute was good...but I was never really wow'ed. He took too long on his first dunk and when finish, it looked pretty sloppily done.

Oh btw, read this. Its a long one but well worth it.

Whats european basketball to USA?

Nothing special but still very underrated in my opinion.

Many, many European players come to the NBA and do great things.

The Euroleague is very good, some players there can really play.

The xcx wrote:Whats european basketball to USA?

Underrated and the while no where near the NBA, the gap has certainly gotten closer compared to 10-20 years ago. Every year the Euro league produces lottery talent.

Valanciunas, Bargnani, Gallinari, etc.

Also have produced:
Dirk
Vlade Divac
Arvydas Sabonis
Drazen
Toni Kukoc
Peja
The Gasols
Kirilenko
Detlef
Tony P

list goes on and on

Drummond was campaigning for the dunk contest before he got hurt like Ross.

Next year they should try to get at least 3 star type players to compete, the dunk contest needs a revive.

3 All Stars and 3 up and commers

LeBron
Griffin
Westbrook/Wall

Ross
Drummond
and one other Barnes maybe

Wall and DeAndre Jordan are probably up for it next year, as far as I can tell from their tweets, LeBron and Westbrook in the contest is the dream, would be fun.

Offtopic: Franchise, have you seen the 2k13 thread? willing to join the online association?

I will take a look now.

And I agree, stars or at least very good players need to be in.

Evans and White never play and Green is just about rotation.

The fans always are more hyped when its guys that are big time.
