They are using Hoop It Up rules. Hoop It Up Tourney with active/recent NBA players would be lights out.

I thought Hoop it Up was 3 on 3?  And the reason it's important would be are you playing full court or half court.   Totally different games with spacing.  In 4x4 full court.  Can you imagine trying to guard Steph while Magic is leading a break and MJ is diving towards the cup?

Hoop it up is 3 on 3 with one sub.  Half court.

Dumbass NBA. Imagine if Simmons/Embiid had made contact with their all star teammates.

To be fair, they had contact with the barber in PHI

STEPH!!!    A nice 30 in the first round

[Zepol87 9340]

Beast

[BigOrange1 6611]

that was awesome.

[ztejas 44224]

I like this format

[ztejas 44224]

Reggie is such a fucking beating. HE PUT THE FEAR OF GOD IN HIM! Or maybe he's just not a knockdown 3 shooter.

[aggie08 21793]

Yeah... Larry Bird would not be the favorite in a modern day 3 point contest. Steph would be the favorite, but like a 20% chance. Everyone else around 12-15%. It's basically whoever gets hot.

yeah man.   I truly cannot stand that fucker.

[ztejas 44224]

On the last ball. Clutch. 

[d2o 1603]

Steph-fortless!!!

[BigOrange1 6611]

jesus.

[BradInATX 9208]

The pause before the last two balls, he knew he needed them both and barely touched net on either.

[d2o 1603]

They had some really good shooters in this one.   Its usually one guy that fucking stinks (looking at you MJ).     Jaylen Brown the only one that didn't hit 20

Yeah I was told he didn't have the nerve to stand up to Bird

[Zepol87 9340]

That was fun

[BradInATX 9208]

Why is the dunk contest only 3 guys?

[ztejas 44224]

Lol moment of silence for covid victims. Ironic much.

I don't know but they're shoehorning it in at halftime. 

[ztejas 44224]

Zion has some butterfingers going on.

[washparkhorn 9973]

Fun to watch scrimmage. The passing on Team LBJ is entertaining as hell. 

[ztejas 44224]

I'm so confused as to what the format is.

professional wrestling?  Wait, you mean the all-star game, not the regular season . . . 

real answer: no fucking clue. 

[Machinator 32103]

Chris Paul still has a vertical!

[BigOrange1 6611]

good lord steph.

[ztejas 44224]

Just took Lillard 2 tries. And then Steph, of course.

[TommyGufano 6023]

Marv doesn't know what day it is. The PG-alley-oop fest was fun

[gsoda3 3362]

Steph and dame was fun

Seriously, how does he not have someone in his ear telling him, "Uh, Lillard took that shot, not Steph." He rolled with it for a full minute, then blamed the official scorers.

I'm pretty sure he said Joel Simmons earlier. Then he called Kevin Garnett Kevin Durant.

What is DeAndre Jordan? Like 16 for 17?

[TommyGufano 6023]

I'll preface this by saying I don't really give a fuck, but judges should each vote 1-50 and then they can avg. 1-10 designation is too restrictive 

[BigOrange1 6611]

those were all 3 pretty good.  and enhanced because they all made them on the first attempt.

[ztejas 44224]

These judges are all over the place.

And this contest is about as good as the contestants. Very meh.

That last one was the best of the night. Not sure how Simon's was a 49 and that's a 46.

[Michael Knight 13217]

the dunk contest is a relic they need to either get rid of it or revamp it like they did the home run contest. none of this shit is impressive anymore

[shadow_operative 15932]

my scores:

 

Round 1:

 

Stanley: 8.7

 

Toppin: 9.3

 

Simons: 9.1

 

 

Stanley: 7.3

 

Toppin: 9.3

 

Simons: 8.3

[ztejas 44224]

Curry's like "this shit is fucking whack"

Toppin's 2nd was the best all night.

Half agree. Ppl had also been saying that for ~10 years before Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine blew the roof off the arena. So gotta hold out hope a couple dudes come along and do the same

[Tommy Nobis 905]

That’s the worst fucking dunk contest I’ve ever watched in my life.

Yeah. That one was nuts. 

For posterity:

 

[shadow_operative 15932]

Final Round:

Topin: 8.2

Simons: 7.9

Topin is my winner.

 

totally "meh" contest.

[Zepol87 9340]

That's the best mic'ed up shit they could find? Garbage
