Players know that All-Star Game voting is ongoing right now which means they’ll be in “flex mode”. Expect a little more effort when they go for that extra dunk, three-pointer, or block. Let’s see some of the possible All-Star performances for the week.
With the announcement of the full All-Star game rosters, we now know a lot more about the game. The first thing that needs to be discussed is who got snubbed?
Patrick Champion predicts the NBA’s 2021 Western Conference All-Stars.
Celeste Sabin recaps NBA All-Star Saturday Night.
There is always a snub or two each year in the All-Star voting. However, this year is different, as it seems that six players have been robbed of a chance to participate in the All-Star game this February.
Paul DeAngelis gives his picks for the Eastern Conference All-Star reserves for this year’s NBA All-Star Game.
The list of starters for the 2020 NBA All-Star game has been announced.
Paul DeAngelis discusses why fan voting for the NBA All-Star Game is ridiculous and should be changed.
CLICKBAIT CLICKBAIT CLICKBAIT! Yeah, I know that’s probably the reaction most of you have when you read this title. And I understand. It’s a ludicrous question to pose about a rookie.
NBA All-Star weekend is arguably the biggest event during the NBA season. Celebrities and fans flock to see the best shooting, dunking, and most exciting plays that you cannot see anywhere else.
What a season for the 8th year pro out of USC and current Orlando Magic big man Nikola Vucevic. Don’t get me wrong, Nikola has been more than a solid player during his career which shows by his production with career averages of 15ppg along with 10rpg. But, in particular this season, right before he is set to become a free agent, he has taken his game up another level by posting career highs of 20ppg, 12rpg & 4apg. His hard work has not only been noticed by me because just this past week he was named to his first NBA All-Star Game being selected as a reserve. The hard work that Vooch has put into his game was recognized this season as he has had a very solid career thus far. He has even expanded his game like many big men have had to do in today’s NBA to able to stay on the court and is shooting a career-high 37% from the three-point line this season. By adding a new dimension to his already impressive offensive package, he becomes harder to defend and game plan for and also more attractive to teams looking to add him either via trade or this off-season thru free agency. Winning is the only thing missing right now from his resume, and getting his team to a playoff appearance is the next step for him at this point in his career.
As a basketball fan, I’ve always found the NBA All-Star Weekend to be one of the more interesting times of the year. It allows me to watch the top talents of the league play without putting me in a position to seriously root for or against either team. It puts all of the league’s best players in a one-game situation where it’s the best of the best against the best of the best. It immortalizes otherwise-forgotten players such as Jason Kapono and Jeremy Evans through the Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest. But perhaps the most important thing it does is recognize, in a semi-official capacity, who the best standout performers in the NBA are in any given season.
