What would you rather do? Watch the NBA All-Star Game or....

['Skins_&_'Stons]

I'm sorry, but the NBA All-Star Game is absolutely terrible. I turned to TNT and a rap show introducing the players at Cowboys Stadium raped me in the eyes & ears. I just tuned back in (almost an hour later) and Dirk Nowitzki appears to be on the court, talking to the crowd. The game still has not started. This is so awful that it is almost funny. :ols::ols::ols: This whole NBA All-Star debacle has been terrible for years, what would you guys rather watch or do? :D

[GhostofSparta]

NBA all star game vs. NFL pro bowl.

Pick one.

[Chachie]

NBA all star game vs. NFL pro bowl.

Pick one.



All Star. Not that I'm watching that either though.

[Teller]

Pro Bowl for sure.

Although the NASCAR All-Star race in Charlotte >>>>>>>>>>> both.

[Larry]

I'd rather watch the NFL draft.

[skinfan2k]

I love the NBA all star game. Its the only one I want to watch

['Skins_&_'Stons]

Poll added. :silly:

[Teller]

I voted for the ebola pancakes. Hopefully the pan searing will kill the bad stuff. :pfft:

[No Excuses]

How about what you would watch the NBA All Star game over:

1. NASCAR
2. Women's basketball
3. Golf
4. NFL Pro Bowl
5. Baseball

[Kosher Ham]

NBA All-Star game is at least entertaining. The Pro Bowl is utterly dreadful, sans a few plays.

[Mickalino]

Define sharp objects, please

[BigMike21]

Yes Sirrrr

Golf is the only thing I might consider and it has to be one of the majors

[Teller]

How about what you would watch the NBA All Star game over:

1. NASCAR -- DEFINITELY!!!!!
2. Women's basketball -- Not unless it's the Olympics, then sure.
3. Golf -- Majors? No question.
4. NFL Pro Bowl -- Without a doubt.
5. Baseball -- Hm. If my Bucs EVER do anything again, probably so.

[GhostofSparta]

Gotta go with the ebola pancakes option.

[BigMike21]

Y'all are haters!!!

[Kosher Ham]

That's not what he was saying Hog. :doh:

[No Excuses]

Golf is the only thing I might consider and it has to be one of the majors

I wouldn't watch watch any of them over the NBA All-Star game. At least you get to see some entertaining plays in the All Star game.

What'd I miss THIS time?? :ols:

[blue collar]

I never thought about it, but I guess this is the real reason the NFL Pro Bowl was the week before the SuperBowl.

[skinfan2k]

not really, the superbowl is being pushed back further and further and the NBA always has the all star game the 2nd weekend of the month

[rincewind]

1. NASCAR




You mean that thing that girl races in?

You mean that thing that girl races in?

You and me. Piss Mountain. It's on. :pfft:

[ixcuincle]

Root for the Pukes.

That's how bad the NBA All-Star game is. I haven't seen that **** in years. Complete And-1 basketball.

[rincewind]

Oh yeah, rince, you and I need to share a beer atop Piss Mountain. Hope to see you soon! :ols:

I'd rather eat a six inch sub slathered with Heinz 57 sauce while driving with my foot out the window.

FYI all All Star games suck except for Baseball's All Star game, and not because it decides home field in the Series. There is still a magical sense about that game. A great feeling about the game that is not present in any other all-star game. The atmosphere in those All-Star Baseball games is amazing

[BigMike21]

Cmon guys it can't be THAT bad

really i feel the exact opposite.. the mlb all star game bores me to death

[Mickalino]

Substitute Pro Bowl, and it would have been a better question.

[buenosdiaz]

i like saturday night of the all star game...

im not a big fan of all star games in general

i love the HR derby too but not a big fan of the actual game

[BigMike21]

i love the HR derby too but not a big fan of the actual game

This is true for me as well. The thing I don't like about the baseball games is how you have to keep changing pitchers. But you can't leave the super studs in because that would be unfair to their respective teams. Quite a quandry.

[buenosdiaz]

i mean i think the thing about the NBA all star game is that basketball is generally easier to completely slack off and have a game ruined by people not caring

i mean im sure we've all been involved in pick up games towards the end of the day/night that just turn into shooting or dunk contests

[ixcuincle]

As I said in thoughts it's still a big deal about the AL and NL Starter...the games are competitive too and come down to the last few innings. It'll never be like it was back in the day when Pete Rose played those All Star games with passion but it's still a good show

Meanwhile all they do in NBA all star game is And 1 basketball, just dunks and trick shots and bs like that, no D at all

[BigMike21]

That's kind of why I like it. It's like the pickup games we play only with the superstars.

[BigMike21]

Alicia Keys and Shakira are coming up. I think it's time to turn the hate down and watch our newly drafted babes! It's the #1 pick out there!

[ACW]

76-69 at the half :rotflmao:

[buenosdiaz]

the things id do to bang shakira lol

[buenosdiaz]

isnt performing just akward? haha i mean how weird is whats going on right now

[ACW]

Damn Shakira looks hot in HD :whew:

[BigMike21]

Damn Shakira looks hot in HD :whew:

Yes she does. Too bad this song is horrendous tho.

[GOSKINS_08]

The NFL needs to have people like Shakira and Alicia Keys, and other current artists to perfrom at the SuperBowl halftime show instead of old rock groups every year.

[buenosdiaz]

she wont change into more clothes...laaaame

[BigMike21]

Great Bill Simmons tweet:

I'm throwing one dollar bills at my TV right now. How much for three songs? I want three songs!!!

[ACW]

Yes she does. Too bad this song is horrendous tho.Song? There's a song? :pfft:

[ixcuincle]

The NFL needs to have people like Shakira and Alicia Keys, and other current artists to perfrom at the SuperBowl halftime show instead of old rock groups every year.

But then the music they'd put on would be pretty unpleasant

[BigMike21]

Alicia isn't doing it for me with the Rebecca Gayheart haircut

[DCranon21]

I still like the All-Star game. Don't care if they are not playing any D.

But Alicia and Shakira in HD = A thing of beauty.

[BigMike21]

Chris Bosh looks like an avatar.

[skinfan2k]

wow those dunks by howard and james!

[Mickalino]

Does it really disturb you to see men who are the same age as your great-grandfather performing ?

At least we won't have to worry about them revealing pasty nipples.

[BigMike21]

Incredible. I really hope Lebron doesn't sign with the Heat. Him and Wade seem to have really good chemistry.

[Mickalino]

Wouldn't you like to see them knock off the Lakers, though ?

[BigMike21]

Wouldn't you like to see them knock off the Lakers, though ?

Of course but I'm still a Magic fan and we wouldn't be able to stop that. Like ever.

[BigMike21]

Kobe just said it right: "This is the best pickup game in the world"

[HailinginSeattle]

What's wrong with the All Star game?? I like the game, you've got the best players in the world actually going out there and competing and showcasing their talents. They may not play much D until the end, but that makes it even better. It's exciting and the best all star game in all of sports IMO.

[skinsfan07]

how about what you would watch the nba all star game over:

1. Nascar
2. Women's basketball
3. Golf
4. Nfl pro bowl
5. Baseball

1) nhl
2) nhl
3) nhl
4) nhl

[fullnelson9999]

I watch the game every year. Dont complain about it being a show off game all about dunks and stuff. If you want to watch that then I suggest watching one of the hundreds or regular season games this year.

[HighOnHendrix]

Ah, yes....the annual "No-Defense Game".

What's wrong with Rosie O? I voted for that one just to mess with people! :ols:

[No Excuses]

1) nhl

You really hate the NHL that much? lol

All Star Game Rankings

MLB All Star Game
NHL All Star Game
Pro Bowl
NBA All Star Game (essentially a basketball game on steroids)

I was startled to learn when I woke up today that the East won by like 2 points. Good job East

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

I thought it was a fun game. It's supposed to be And-1 type ball except with the best players in the world.

(And the last five minutes were shockingly competitive).

haha mlb all star game is the game on steriods, its a joke that the starting pitcher only goes 2 innings and the best players play the beginning of the game, makes no sense

Why do people get pissed off at these "Exhibition" games?

What the **** part of "exhibition," don't they understand?

And why do I sound just like Apollo's trainer in Rocky IV?

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

My favorite part of the night was Jerry Jones being interviewed while Mark Cuban stood silently behind him.

Imagine the conversation before that?

"Now, listen here, Marky. Good Ole Double-J is going to sell the soap. Watch and learn, son. And goddamnit, boy, didn't I tell ya to dress up tonight? A wrinkled Polo shirt is not dressin' up? You look like a goddamn frat boy whose trying to cop a feel of some Kappa tittie. That ain't how we doing things in Big D. Now, shut up and don't embarrass me."

[EersSkins05]

The NBA all-star game is the only of any of the all-star games that actually retains some similarities to an actual game in that particular sport.

They don't hit in the Pro Bowl or NHL All-star games, when hitting is 1/2 of the reason people love those sports. The pitchers come out after 2 innings in baseball and you only get to see the best guys bat 2x at best.

Sure, the defense is a little lax in the NBA all-star game, but I'd much rather see Lebron go flying through the air unmolested than see him hacked and forced to earn it at the line.

Hating on the NBA all-star game is very tired.

But apparently there were 108k in Dallas last night that disagreed with the OP.

[sly]

The NBA All Star game has always been very fun to watch. Made a drinking game out of it with the roommate. It's definitely the best All Star weekend out of all the sports.

Please tell me you're joking. You must have never seen an NBA All-Star game if you think that. Baseball's All-Star game, by far, is the only all-star game that resembles a real game. In MLB's all-star game, you can have a 4-3 game. In the NBA's all-star game each team will score well into the 100's.

Real baseball games don't use 378 pitchers. Sorry.

[blue collar]

They might use a lot of pitchers but the game itself resembles a real game as opposed to basketball where guys are throwing balls off the backboard for spectacular dunks.

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

Someone needs to explain to me why these games need to be "real."

You know, I like the NBA, but I don't really want to watch a Spurs-Heat game with a final of 95-87 in the middle of February. And I certainly don't want to watch that in an All-Star Game.

The complaints about all star games seems to be that they are not as mediocre as regular season games - which no one here seems to watch anyway.

[Bubble Screen]

First off, the NBA All Star game is soo lame. That NBA dunk contest was about the worst televison I've ever watched. I actually kept watching, only to see just how bad it would get. And to Barkley and those guys' credit, they didn't try and make it out to be great, when it obviously was garbage.

Anyway, my advice to fix the contest would be to go against the "norm". By that, I think they should ONLY do dunks that have been done in the past. Bring back the windmill that D Wilkins did. The jump for the FT line, a la MJ. The blindfold dunk. The Dee Brown dunk. I mean, there are only so many dunks you can do over the years. Time to see what guys out there can do, compared to the greatest dunks/dunkers of all time.

Believe it or not, I agree with you. I was just responding to another poster that said the NBA all-star game is more simular to the real game than any other sport.

[Bubble Screen]

One other thing: Why do people where sunglasses INDOORS? Seeing all those stars sitting in the stands with their shades was about the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life. And I realize this isn't something that just started. Do these guys realize how much of a douche they are?

[BigMike21]

Well as far as I know there are absolutely no rule differences between the nba all-star game and a regular nba game other than a longer halftime. Players may play differently but it's the same game. Baseball has inning limit rules and nfl has no blitzing rules.
