Mark my words. The future of the NBA is big men who can pass and shoot the 3 dishing out dimes to athletic and fast guards and wings who are constantly weaving and cutting to get a good look at the basket a la Nuggets as the prototype. Big men making a comeback soon. As long as they are skilled. Nuggets dont have any game breaking athletes yet somehow cranking out one of the best records in the crazy tough west. Imagine if Embiid or Davis started getting plays for their passing like Jokic. Simmons and Embiid would be especially scary.
The exact reason why the Pacers got Tyreke Evans! Very underrated player with a much smaller role than last year. Prayers up to my man Victor Oladipo 🙏🙏 sad to see him get injured. I wanted to see him in the dunk contest too 😭😭
Why is Tas making such a big deal about Kemba being selected as a starter? Only the top vote getters in the East and West are guaranteed to start. They then select their team mates and the coach is the one who selects the starters. If Kemba is having a good enough year, the coaches will pick him as a reserve and his team's coach, wherever he's selected, will decide whether he starts the game or not. The fans/players/media vote doesn't decide who starts.
Simmons has improved his efficiency this season, which is major. He also averages 9,5 rebounds, which is great for a PG. Most valuable PG in the East, coming from a Celtic fan. Deserves to start imho.
@@gullintanni good idea, bro. But Kemba really deserves it too. Plus, the all star game is in Charlotte which makes him more fit for that starting spot. Have a nice day!
Dunno if it's always been voted like this (since not watched ton of shows like this around all star), feels like except the most popular guys, they think more about how the TEAMS they're on perform and not as much with players with the exception of Dwyane Wayde
@@kolulaser thanks for the quick response, woah raptors for tas and skeets surprises me slightly haha poor trey at the moment with the bulls lol I can see Leigh being a bit of a hornets fan atm with how much he wants to see their players being apart of all star weekend haha!!
PJ Tucker had the most embarrassing moment there, and I'm a fan of his. Reggie's was just cringe-worthy as Tas stated and a stupid post-game move by him. Still not as embarrassing and career defining as JR Smith's 2018 NBA Finals Gm 1 last second blunder tho. I don't think ppl have seen much of him since then b/c of it.
Luka deserves to be an All-Star. The media have been gushing over him more than they have any other player not named Le Bron, and that includes the Starters, so for them to be leaving him out now makes no sense. I get that there are other players having better seasons but those guys are making it in anyway (likely to be chosen by coaches) so why not Luka? It's not like he's some scrub on a shit team. How can they disregard a top 3 vote getter as being worthy of an All-Star slot. What's their definition of an All-Star?
He's been doing the shimmy for a number of years now, and they're not the only ones who shimmy. Another amusing fact is they both used to use "Chef" as a nickname.
It's nice to have diversity though. Warriors already have 1 Starter, and Nuggets are the second best western team, they deserve one. Also 20 10 7, is just as impressive as 25 7 6
Way back when rookie Yao Ming got all of China's votes and started in the all-star game, the NBA did nothing about it, coz it's a 'popularity contest', right? Dirk can't even get in (he only replaced the injured starter iirc). Now, Doncic gets 4M of the people's vote and his game to back it up, but the NBA can't even recognize it, because it's now based on cumulative stats and tenure. The Mavs can't win when it comes to this all-star stuff. Maybe Luka should just gun for the All-NBA award. That's the full-season award anyway.
magic johnson is pretty terrible President/GM and im kind of suprised its never mentioned. Some of his decisions: -give away lou williams for nothing -give away larry nance jr for nothing -give away jordan clarkson for nothing -give away d'angelo russel for nothing -let julius randle go -let brook lopez go -sign guys like rondo, lance stephenson, beasly etc who pretty much wont do shit for the lakers -failed to sign paul george yeah he signed lebron but who cares, anybody could have done that, had nothing to do with magic being there. Lebron would have signed there regardless. Maybe Anthony davis will join the lakers but that still wont have anything to do with magic. He just seems to be a pretty dumb guy overall and only has that job since he was a great player.
AlexandruP obviously he traded nance and clarkson to free up cap space for 2 max players traded Lou will because he was helping them win when he wanted to tank why pay randle when you thought you had a great chance at PG also traded Dlo so Lonzo could have the realm without worrying about someone else come on man he’s done a good job 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@@YogurtSalad i liked that young core that the lakers had and magic butchered it for an aging lebron. Lets face it the lakers will not be winning this year, and if durant decides to resign then nobody will beat the warriors for like another 3-4 years and by then lebron will be a shell of himself. I highly doubt the lakers will win a title in the near future so it doesnt seem worth it to me. Even if Durant leaves, the warriors will still be deadly and there will also be other teams out there that will challenge such as the clippers if they sign kawaii and butler. I know that the lakers are taking it easy this year but it all seems like a waste to me. Not really a way to build a team when you just have a bunch of cap space and just hope that you are able to sign a bunch of superstars including one on the downfall of his career.
The Lakers still have a young core in Ingram, Ball, Hart, and Kuzma. Even if Durant remains with the Warriors, they will be pretty vulnerable a few years from now. They've looked pretty vulnerable this season at times, and their window will eventually close just like every other dynasty.I find it weird that you mention the Clippers as landing spots for Leonard and J. Butler, like the Lakers are out of the realm of possibility. Also, keep in mind that this is the Lakers. Before the 2013 season, they missed the playoffs like 4 times in 50+ years. They chase stars. Always have, always will. You are also underestimating Lebron. He lead a team of role players to the Finals just last season. He is a once in a generation talent and was still the most important free agent even in the "downfall" of his career. And, from what I can tell, Paul George almost did sign with the Lakers. They just got unlucky it seems.
It sucks to have ur best player have a season ending injury... again.
First Granger, then George and now Oladipo, tough luck, man.. Good team, though, they'll be alright!
Hope oladipo gets better🙏🏽
I am a pacers fan and I am brought to tears thinking about his injury.
No hate pls.
@@calvinbrown5003 #Pacernation forever bro
Prayers for Victor man. Great player and humble guy💯💯
Send your thoughts and prayers. I'm pretty sure they fix everything.
Seriously people! You all need to be thinking and praying harder! I wanna feel em' pouring in!
That reggie moment is up there with the d12 and svg interview
I'm cringing just thinking about it..I felt like someone should have called the cops lol.
I hope Vic has a speedy recovery 🙏
Why yall keep lowkey bullying my man Leigh Ellis
Anyone else catch that okily dokily at 21:02 😂
good ear lol
My boy Kemba comes through in the clutch for the all-star nod.
That Melo/Gump meme was absolutely hilarious.
7:55 “lost to the sixers when he ONLY had 38” 😂
A Steve Kerr as Thanos w/ Infinity gauntlet meme?! LMAO @18:14
Come back super strong VIC!!!

that "meow!" lol
19:24 it's purple Flea!
"Ned flanders was a great dancer". lol
Wow Eastern teams having really good records... so far.
Skeets went full Canadian, 6:57
Crazy doncic is already being talked about amongst all stars
No it isn't
How tho? He’s a mvp player. Crazy how people think this is shocking
Pray for Oladipo it was very tough for him
The exact reason why the Pacers got Tyreke Evans! Very underrated player with a much smaller role than last year. Prayers up to my man Victor Oladipo 🙏🙏 sad to see him get injured. I wanted to see him in the dunk contest too 😭😭
Christopher Rahi He said he was done withthe dunk contest before he got injured.
Really should've put more effort into my fan sign 😂
Leigh as Ned Flanders is life.

Oladipo will come back even stronger like if u agree
That's the goal right lol 😂

who will he replace in the starters then?
@@CjDBo I'd slot him next to Kyrie and have Ky replay his off ball role alongside LBJ. Beal and Simmons is also a great guard duo.
@@gullintanni good idea, bro. But Kemba really deserves it too. Plus, the all star game is in Charlotte which makes him more fit for that starting spot. Have a nice day!
@@CjDBo Then bench Kyrie. As a Celtic fan I think Ben is more valuable. But I guess this game is not about value but popularity.
Prayers up for dipo 🙏🙏
Is it only me or is there anybody else who considers Harden a boring player? With all the respect to him!
Everytime I owe for the amazing number, just cannot watch one minute of his game.
he's definitely weird & sometimes confusing to watch but his highlights are some of the best in the league
Skeeters sounding better,leigh looks like himself at 55,tas bang on wit Kemba and treys laugh lol. Great show only thing missing #WEDGIE
Dunno if it's always been voted like this (since not watched ton of shows like this around all star), feels like except the most popular guys, they think more about how the TEAMS they're on perform and not as much with players with the exception of Dwyane Wayde
15:46 “Ben Simmons and the 76ers have the best record” mean while in my head: Lowry and the raptors are higher, put that on worst of the week
Among the other players that they were choosing from
I’m talking about record wise, the raptors are the only team that had a player on that list and are higher than the 76ers
Pray for oladipo
Is James still making it to Top 1 in scoring all time is an interesting debate.
quick question, who do the starters support in the nba?
Tas,Skeets = Raptors, Trey=Bulls, Leigh isnt a fan of any team but he always liked spurs basketball
@@kolulaser thanks for the quick response, woah raptors for tas and skeets surprises me slightly haha poor trey at the moment with the bulls lol I can see Leigh being a bit of a hornets fan atm with how much he wants to see their players being apart of all star weekend haha!!
Philly 4th in East com on
anyone notice when leigh said the sixers had a better record than the raptors
Pacers are cursed, any pacer should be scared of this injury curse
Damn they really disrespecting melo like that 😂😂
He does look like Ned Flanders hahaha
Why does Demarcus Cousins look like Thanos when he screams 😂😂😂😂😂
Giannis will take Embiid and Westbrook
Dislike is the Victor olidipo fan
WHERES TYSON CHANDLERS BEARD IN 2K19!!
Duuuude find a life
Represent brotha
Poor victor
Why you gotta do Melo like that?
Because we hate Reggie... He needs to be traded
18:05
Pacers should sign tony allen or aaron afflalo
Flanders lol
ig jordan isnt coming back:((((((
360p club, where y’all at?
"he hasnt been getting that many free throws" ?? Biggest lie i've ever heard
not compared to prior seasons
Leigh bias on Simmons SMH

They changed the voting a couple seasons back to where it’s not just based on the fan vote but also,the media and the players themselves
voting was broken & they fixed it
Good evening sweet world
wilt did it a million times
Jokic over KD
fuck nooo
Love it
This show is better than the inside the NBA... Im not even joking
D rose starts over curry 🌹🔥
Heck no
All due respect, it´s amazing, he is, but the rules, geez, what a scam
Skeets must be high if he thinks Jokic starts over durant
Tas hating as always
Reggie Jackson is a scrub
1359 lol
Why is Tas so negative & moody this ep
Jeez
360p cheese
Did Blake Griffin have that attitude in LAC? Shiiiit
Hes maturing. Its what you are supposed to do as a leader when you get older.
