And Stephen Curry beats Mike Conley in the 3-point contest.
On the last shot no less. Would have probably been more interesting with Booker taking part, but would obviously rather have him healthy for the real basketball.

It resembled the 2020 3-point shooting contest when Buddy Hield beat Devin Booker on the last shot.

These games aren’t very entertaining anymore.

Zion doesn’t look as springy as he did at Duke. Still obviously a BEAST, but he used to look like he had go go gadget super springs in his legs.

No way Toppin's dunk was better than Simons and Stanley. Dunk contest is a joke on many levels.

Good outing by Paul. Only thing I did not like was the fact that he played 31 minutes. Dont think that was necessary.

He surpassed Magic for all-time All Star assists. Magic had 127 and Paul now has 128. He had 16 in todays game. I suspect he was going to play for the record and that is why he played so many minutes.

it was brutal

everyone else finishing ~everything too

It didn't seem like Zion was getting enough elevation on those missed dunks. I hope it was nothing physical.

I wondered about this as well. Hoop Head may have the best explanation.

From what little I saw early on in the game (did not see Paul play), I wouldn't call anything in the game as an assist. :rolleyes:

They should replace it with the "drawing fouls" contest. Now this I would tune in for!

This would be hilarious.

Maybe they could implement this into the All-Star game or have a separate Foul Challenge competition.

Players can run around bumping into each other, flopping and whipping their head backwards.

Of course they would need a panel to judge it and hand out scores.
