I've always thought there should be a point penalty for misses. If it takes you three tries to put down a 50-point dunk, you get 48.

I hate how every dunk was either (a) bounce the ball to myself, or (b) have a teammate throw the ball to me. They immediately go for these weird gimmicky dunks.

You don't dunk on your mom. It's just not done. That's my excuse, anyway.

the over the top setup before the dunk was kinda embarassing especially if his first dunk was mediocre or a flop.

Wow, 71 3PA in the first half. About half of them from crazy range.

The other production stuff kind of sucked tho. Giannis brought out the girls and the Greek flag...and then didn't do anything with them. He should've dunked in a toga or something. Eat a gyro, some Chobani...gimme something.
Uh, Shel, you're hired. All-Star 2016, a ShelC production.

If LeBron can f-bomb his mom, someone can dunk on their mom.

I bet SA picks up Amare. It just makes sense.

I don't know if Amar'e really can't sustain playing over a period of time or if the Knicks were just holding him out. When he played, he looked pretty good. If needs to sit out an extended period of time between playing 4-5-6 games, then what's the point. At that rate, he wouldn't make it through an extended playoff run.

If I'm Dallas I pass. Same with SA (he's not smart enough to play with them). I think Houston has too many guys in the frontcourt and he would just jumble it up even more. I think the clips make sense and Portland too. If he wants to stay east, go to Atlanta.
