NBA All-Star Weekend 2026

[Mori Chu]

I thought it was threadworthy to have one place to discuss all the All-Star events. What are you most excited for?

Book in the actual All-Star game?
Book in the 3-point Contest?
Mat Ishbia in the Celebrity Game?
...

Dis • cuss

Obvs Ishbia. LOL. I'd say I'm curious to see how Book performs in the 3-point contest.

[Mori Chu]

I have the not-so-hot take that Book is going to absolutely suck in the 3-point contest. I'm happy with how he has played this year, but his 3s have been pretty bad. I don't think he will suddenly turn it up and go nuts from 3 just because he's in some contest. But I bet he'll play well in the real ASG.

I also think Ishbia thinks he is going to show people some moves in the celeb game, since he played college ball once upon a time. But I bet he basically stinks and is old and looks silly out there. I bet he chucks like prime Curry thinking he'll drain every shot but actually misses most of them.

LOL! I wouldn't normally check out the celebrity game but I will this time as I am curious to see how Ishbia looks. If I remember correctly, Book didn't do so well last time he participated in the 3 point contest but you never know. I'm going to give him a chance and not rip into him viciously beforehand like some that will remain nameless.

[ShelC]

Oso should've made Rising Stars.

[bajanguy008]

Out there giving 110%






Ok Mat

[Wally_West]

[Furlanfufi]

Mat is ALIGNED!

[Superbone]

[Superbone]

Mat is ALIGNED!

I do like that he practices what he preaches. He was like a hummingbird out there.

[bajanguy008]

Didn't expect All Star Saturday to be so early at 5pm ET with the 3pt contest but good for me
Get to watch this and like most probably not bothered seeing anything else later anyways lol

[bajanguy008]

Wow
Look at D Book

[ShelC]

Book locked in and smoked the first round of the 3pt comp.

[bajanguy008]

My first reaction to Dame was like really ?!?
There are active guys who deserve a chance but shout out to him man

The Achilles story and getting that score going last is impressive

[SunsRIt]

So close!

[ShelC]

Book loses 27-29 to Lillard, missed is last 3 shots to tie or win it. Great contest tho, his shooting form is perfect.

It was a pretty rough one.

[Mori Chu]

I like to think that Book saw my take and it pissed him off and gave him the fire to go out there and almost win it.

Didn't realize the contest was so early; missed the whole thing.
