All Star Weekend
Re: All Star Weekend
OK, I just fell in love with Larry Nance, Jr.
Re: All Star Weekend
Gotta love him putting on the Suns jersey!
Re: All Star Weekend
The Black Panther mask is almost as awesome as the Nance jersey.
Re: All Star Weekend
Wow. Smith's dunk can only be truly appreciated on replay.
Re: All Star Weekend
Aw, Nance changed out of his dad's jersey.

Mitchell with the Vince Carter remake to win it. It was nice, but really makes you appreciate Vince. Mitchell barely made it, Carter did it so easy.

Re: All Star Weekend
Great to see Booker win the 3 point contest! Our lone competitor and he came out on top. I hope it's a harbinger of things to come.

DSJ's dunk was crazy. Mitchell also left a pretty impressive photo with his dunk off the side of the glass. Nance's double tap was insanely hard, my favorite of the night.

Great to see that, his dad was a great player who really isn't given the credit he's due.Cap wrote:OK, I just fell in love with Larry Nance, Jr.

Re: All Star Weekend
I saw photos of them side by side but seeing the vids is really cool. Even if you're not a Suns fan, most dads would feel proud seeing such.

Re: All Star Weekend
Guys, if you are bored, try to catch the Spanish King's Cup final. Real Madrid vs Barcelona. One of the most intense games you are going to see in a season. Also a golden opportunity to watch Luka Doncic.
Re: All Star Weekend
BTW, I looked up the history... The 27-point record shared by Steph and Klay was set under the new rules. The best winning performance under the old rules was 25, by Jason Kapono in 2008. Kapono's score beats Devin's by percentage points, .833 to .824.bajanguy008 wrote:I don't know why they say that Record stat tho lol because before you could only score 30 (5 money balls). This rack with all money balls is a recent thing
Anyways Devin Booker (JBL 3pt Record Holder) sounds good so hey
Re: All Star Weekend
Thanks, Cap. I was thinking the same thing. That last rack hasn't always been all double points so I knew the score was inflated. Still a good showing.
Go Suns!

I only got to see bits and pieces of the dunk contest, but I liked Nance's dunks a bit more. That was really cool when he did the Daddy throw-back dunk. What a rare and special thing to do in the dunk contest. Can you imagine if, say, Michael Jordan's son made it to the NBA and did the free-throw line dunk with his tongue out? They'd give him a 55/50. The place would fall apart.
I was really proud of Booker. He just killed it. A bright moment in a dark season.

By percentage, the second-best performance ever. Kapono's beats his by less than 1%.carey wrote:Thanks, Cap. I was thinking the same thing. That last rack hasn't always been all double points so I knew the score was inflated. Still a good showing.
Re: All Star Weekend
With the shots Booker made, he would have broken the record by Kapono I heard. Might not have been by %, but points wise, which is how the game was played.Cap wrote:By percentage, the second-best performance ever. Kapono's beats his by less than 1%.carey wrote:Thanks, Cap.
