gotemcoach: Final Thoughts on All-Star Weekend: LeBron James and Russell Westbrook must be in next year’s dunk contest, or give it a year off.  Make us want it again. I love him, but no more Kenny Smith during the dunk contest. No more celebrities on the court during anything but the Celebrity Game. More wired players, more wired moments.  If you watched the All-Star game last night, I hope you caught the moment where Andre Iguodala was on the bench talking about watching the rim when he shoots vs. watching his shot after it leaves his hand.  It led to a great discussion from Steve Kerr and Reggie Miller, who were calling the game.  Nice work, TNT. While we’re talking television, more Chris Webber, less Shaq. Shelf the Rookie vs. Sophomore game.  I know it did record ratings, but that probably has a bit to do with a guy named Jeremy Lin.  You’re already forcing me to watch one basketball game that has virtually no competition or defense (you know, the staples of a basketball game) until the last two minutes.  Let’s just keep it at one.  Replace it with a different event every year until you find a winner.  For example:  Knockout, H.O.R.S.E. (bring it back), or 3-on-3 where two captains draft their teammates. Read my take on the last 20 seconds of the game, then read Adrian Wojnarowski.  Clearly, he’s the better writer, but similar points. @gotem_coach

Final Thoughts on All-Star Weekend:

  1. LeBron James and Russell Westbrook must be in next year’s dunk contest, or give it a year off.  Make us want it again.
  2. I love him, but no more Kenny Smith during the dunk contest.
  3. No more celebrities on the court during anything but the Celebrity Game.
  4. More wired players, more wired moments.  If you watched the All-Star game last night, I hope you caught the moment where Andre Iguodala was on the bench talking about watching the rim when he shoots vs. watching his shot after it leaves his hand.  It led to a great discussion from Steve Kerr and Reggie Miller, who were calling the game.  Nice work, TNT.
  5. While we’re talking television, more Chris Webber, less Shaq.
  6. Shelf the Rookie vs. Sophomore game.  I know it did record ratings, but that probably has a bit to do with a guy named Jeremy Lin.  You’re already forcing me to watch one basketball game that has virtually no competition or defense (you know, the staples of a basketball game) until the last two minutes.  Let’s just keep it at one.  Replace it with a different event every year until you find a winner.  For example:  Knockout, H.O.R.S.E. (bring it back), or 3-on-3 where two captains draft their teammates.
  7. Read my take on the last 20 seconds of the game, then read Adrian Wojnarowski.  Clearly, he’s the better writer, but similar points.
