[Highlight] De’Aaron Fox for the game-winning shot
These guys are actually trying ššš½
That was a fun finish
Mfs diving for out of bounds balls in the ASG. We’re so back
I used to dream of times like these.
The Aaron FoxĀ
LeAaron Fox
I just hope it’s not like the elam ending one where it last just one game and back to not caring after.
Almost certainly this was an outlier and theyāll go back to not trying eventually
We bullied them into trying boys. Early and often.
I don’t like Silver but he deserves his props on this one.
All the games, including the 3rd, were fun.
Very pleasantly surprised the OGs brought the energy too, best asg game since at least 2020 so far.
I saw old ass Lebron rotate for help (after his LeFuckYou3) and was legit shocked lmao.
Bron just needs a reason to compete and heās the best player on the floor at 41. Nuts lol saw it at the olympics too
He can’t do it at this age 82 games a season. He picks his spots.
I guess 51 million dollars isnāt a reason.
Heās getting the 51 million dollars anyways. For good or bad, He isnāt trying on anything that people canāt use in the MJ debate
You cant blame a 41 year old for not sacrificing his body when you have trash team construction and 2 other stars who are worse defensively.Ā
Shouldāve opted out last summer then.
Or maybe your FO shouldn’t have given him that contract?Ā
Agreed 100%. But he had a player option. So if he knew the roster was terrible and will not be āsacrificing his bodyā for it, why not opt out and go somewhere where he would āsacrifice his bodyā? He doesnāt have many years left in the NBA, why waste it on a terrible team like ours?
I think he was expecting the team to buy in and play hard.Ā
So the team is supposed to buy in and play hard before their leader/goat/highest paid player sets an example by buying in and playing hard?
Heās a billionaire. How does another 51 million affect his life.
Probably by making him another 51 million dollars
His day to day life isnāt changed at all. No longer a great motivator.
Are you LeBron?
Iām not. Are you?
No. So neither of us can add anything meaningful.
Great question. So he shouldāve taken the vet minimum right?
Itās crazy how he can still turn the gas up and enter nearly peak LeBron mode at 41. He might not be able to do it for a whole game like before, but heās still got it in his bag for like 2 minute bursts like a video game power up
he ain’t as good as he once was, but he’s as good once as he ever was
LeCountry
“and enter nearly peak LeBron mode at 41”
Ok, hold your horses, dawg…
I said nearly, like 80-90%
Agreed. Most players that drop levels completely lose the ability to āturn it onā. Even the ones that transitioned effectively didnāt have that
Ant not playing games lol they have to step up.
There were dudes here who was blaming Ant for his lack of effort in ASG. Yet he’s the one making them close and fun today lol
Shoutout to Tyrese too, heās been everywhere.
The game started and I was actually shocked that those guys were legit running constantly
Rotating on defense too lol
Somehow these 3 teams make sense and give everyone a little something to play for.
Wish we had more guys healthy but its kinda good
Tbf, if Luka and Jokic were playing full minutes, Iām not sure the effort level would be as high.
I know he won’t because he’s a big family guy but it’d be dope to have Steph get a 15th roster spot till he’s 50 because he’s the best hype man in the league. Dude always first one off the bench celebrating.
totally unbiased but I think the Spurs have saved All Star basketball
Not surprised, the league is better when the spurs are relevant
I miss Pop :(
He’s not dead.
Itās all Wemby bro, dude is the MuadāDib
If Spurs win the championship, screw it they’ve saved basketball
Surprised how entertaining this has been
They stepped up, they just did
We see you Victor Wembanyama *Doris Burke voice*Ā
This has been AWESOME
Ant tried man, he really did
13 and 11, and a ton of clutch baskets.Ā
Would be ASG MVP if Fox missed that.Ā
He was though
he really diiid!!! š š š
DE’AARON FOX!
The Spurs are my 2k team I use in my weekly tournaments at work (most important thing in my life)
That Fox 3 means something to me LETS GO
Fox has been broken in 2K forever. Running at the defender and hitting a simple cross means you’re through to the hoop and its either a dunk or open 3 for Barnes in the corner
Bro yes Fox is so quick and finishes so well that he is basically my favorite player to drive with. And then Barnes gives u a fat green window so yup he knocks em down
His jumper is so easy too
I miss you 5 š„²
Heās 4 now babyyyyyy
I miss 5, esp in his Vegeta-hair incarnationĀ
With that ninja band that the NBA banned
Adam Silver won’t allow anything cool
Kings fans still fuck with him after how he acted?
Considering he made this sorry ass team worthwhile for a season and played his heart out for several years, yes
I mean you could post his contract after a bad game and Kings fans would be attracted to the post like flies
They some salty cunts lol
I’d be mad too if my star player forced our team to be stuck with LaVine and DeRozan
Hell no. He wanted out. He’s out. Zero obligation or inclination to root for him.
Wemby saved the All Star Game
Dude is so competitive
Adam Silver I apologize I wasn’t familar with your game
Nah yall fold too quick. Silver sucks it was the effort that changed
And how is the players not giving effort Silverās fault?
Get with the times dude, anything bad = his fault, anything good = despite him
Did u know tanking was invented by him?
.. the whole thing is finding a format that makes the players give effort
Well the effort didnāt change for years until he changed the formats to make something shake. You have to give credit where itās due he canāt make them play hard
Lol yeah this isn’t the format it’s the effort and care
Silver sucks but tbf he’s been trying to get something to stick for years for the ASG and much as this seemed to be another dumb idea, gotta give him credit for finally getting it right
Idk, who knows what kinds of threats to these guys families he made to get them to play this hard
You think all the players independently just decided to put in more effort this year unrelated to the change in format?
lowkey they ass anyways so im willing to look past kawhis tree shit…this all star game saved his shit
Holy shit, this is great!
Tbf Cade is underrated this game, kept it close for the Stars.
Yeah Cade’s been playing great on both ends
Canāt wait to see ant and Cade in the Olympics, theyāre a great pair
Dude plays incredible basketball
[deleted]
It was never about the format. It was always about the effort
I think keeping games shorter instead of one 48 min game makes it easier to put forth the effort
That and having pride on the line is a big thing.
This format inspires constant effort. The stars werenāt going to give effort in the other formats
Format with mini games has allowed for the effort to be here.
The format helps with the effort, is that a difficult concept to understand?
I apologize
Hey - multiple things can still be true. But the only Alien is Wemby!
Swipa
That shit was smooth as butter
Spurs are now back!!!!
clutch af
This was actually pretty entertaining, especially Ant going on that clutch tear to take the lead
They got me sitting up to watch the all star game
another great ending!
We’re literally saving the all-star game. Adam Silver give us another #1 pick.
Imagine Boozer joining this team lmao
Okay maybe Adam Silver isn’t that big of an idiot
Adam Silver is SALIVATING
Same
All the Spurs players have been awesome for All Star weekend. Wish we had someone in the 3 Point contest but yeahā¦ we suck there.
did adam silver cook or are the players just collectively trying this year?
I wouldnt say collectively but Wemby started it and you could see couple young players like Ant, Cade, Duren are trying which it made everyone start to care more
even the old heads were trying. like kd, bron, kawhi, etc
Yeah they were watching the first game while warming up.
Kawhi always tried even when it was West vs. East
Both
I think for 2 decades of being called a boring production probably has the young guys wanting to prove something.
Shorter format makes trying easier.
This ASG is great but I do miss East vs West, if they would bring this level of competitiveness to the regular format it would be hype again.
I am thoroughly entertained
This is fun as hell.
Wemby out there making everyone give effort. Props to that man. I really donāt think anyone else coulda made them try like this again.
Getting your shot blocked, aggressively, in the all star game is pretty embarrassing. Wemby set the tone for the day by doing what he does best, and it pissed some people off enough that they stepped their games up.
Shoutout to the good ball movement too
I for one always believed in Fox.
This shit just happened šš
Last minute all star Fox. (Well deserved all star btw)
Last guy to be added to the All Stars, it was written in the stars
Only player on the floor with Clutch Player of The year Award js
PEAK CINEMA
I thought ant won won it for the stars lol.
This has been incredible
This has been absolute cinema
Dfoxš„š„
2 Game winners in the first few games is nice, they look like they care playing this year
Letās go D. Fox!
i guess all those clutch time minutes paid off for fox. ive never seen someone so unbothered on a game winning (or losing) shot with the clock running down lol.
Entertaining as fuck!
never.took.his.eyes.off.the.ring.
This has been great
Nasty pass from DMitch
This is fuck as hell
Boombayah
How many games are they playing? Whats next ?
SWIPA THE FOX STEALS THE GAME š¦š„
Glad he made that, because that would have felt terrible to miss
Finally, some good All-Star Game
Really liking the All Star Games so far.
https://i.imgur.com/3IXKnJi.jpeg
Clutch player of the year for a reason
lol kawhi saying āwet ballā into the hot mic
Still Mr Clutch
No one gonna talk about Mitchellās telepathic kick-out assist
That boy cold!
Cade bum ah sold ant game winner
WHERE IS MIKE BREEN WHEN YOU NEED HIM!!!!
Damn that was dope, I was on stars but it was tough.
Ok if World shows up, its a meal.
Won’t be telling my grandkids about it but this has been really solid
Very fun games so far
This has been fantastic
Not me actually invested and mad at stars losing š too many lobs cost them
Excellent ball movement!!
tf was that defense from cade lmao, practically just ran straight past him with his hand up
Thatās my Fox!
maybe short games do up the intensity just a little bit
It says a lot that LeBron was voted “All-Star Reserves” but he’s one of the players on the floor when the game is on the line.
Swiping a fox
Jaylen fucking Brown. He’s done miracles on me.
Is ASG back boys?
All the games have been phenomenal
Wait it is 6:30 PM, is the All Star game over? Or I heard game 2 so did they do some stupid thrash instead of playing East vs West outright?
Curry had his hands up and yelling 3 before Fox knew he was gonna shoot it haha.
Fox is so clutch
This was truly the Spurs coming out party. They impacted every aspect of the weekend and stood out! Damn proud of them
We gotta get Curry back in title competition
Travel
Hate this only one quarter
Hasnāt hit a game winner for the Spurs all season. Iām salty
God Cade sucks
