OK, I just fell in love with Larry Nance, Jr.

Gotta love him putting on the Suns jersey!

The Black Panther mask is almost as awesome as the Nance jersey.

Wow. Smith's dunk can only be truly appreciated on replay.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Anyways Devin Booker (JBL 3pt Record Holder) sounds good so hey

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.

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.

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%.

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.
