Agreed. I've usually preferred the Saturday night, even if dunk contests have been dull for some time, but they've messed about with the skills and 3-pointer competitions too much now too.
I stopped a while back...boring as ****.
I haven't watched one in something like 10 years.
It's so bad. I don't want to sound like some bitter old head but the fact that they put in less effort than some random pickup game is absolutely pathetic and soft. Not having playoff level intensity is fine but atleast try as much as you would in a Rucker game ffs. There's no legitimate excuse for this imo.
I don't mean it is personally, haha. It's sports fan terminology to describe how highly he is regarded compared to how good he actually is. Similar terms are commonly used even in cricket.
Haha, tbf, the question was asked to him if he wanted to play with Luka in the future. At least he didn't enthusiastically say "Yeah, that would be amazing, I hope we can have a run together before I retire'.
When you look at all the hyperbole about him, I have always felt he is a tad overrated but by any measure, he was and still is a terrific offensive player and a genuine star in today's league. As far as his recent games go, one also has to make allowances for the fact that team is now being coached by Doc Rivers...
And he shot 10 out of 10 from the field!
Strange that the Melo-Karl beef is still sizzling on the grill.
Melo was hugely hyped at his peak but think most commentators and fans had seen through him once he moved into his journeyman era.
