the best shooter ever...hands down Form is soooooo consistent Yeah, Curry is quite a talent but you should have seem me at about age 32, right after my divorce with nothing to do but terrorize the local courts...a true legend in my own mind...leprechauns were in the trees watching me, looking to sign me up for one last big hurrah on the Celtics!...not sure why Red never made the phone call...dang... |

I've only had one good shooting night in my whole life (college park.) can't say why publicly, but that night it was like I was hypnotized. Otherwise, I shoot everything off the glass.

I remember the first time I saw a guy shoot without banking off the backboard...about 1970...it was a really big deal and we just all watched in awe...the game was changed...sort of like the Fosbury flop changed high jumping...about !966... |

One of the most fun shots I ever made I was driving to the hoop, got hacked and while looking at the ground and falling out of the sky I flipped the ball high up with a prayer.
After I hit the ground I looked up to see where the ball went only to see my no look shot completely swish! Pure luck!

The winner of each quarter gets $75K for their team charity.
LeBron's Team won 1st two quarters.
I'm guessing they will have a final score winner as well for an additional contribution but not sure ...

Karalis thought brown would beat tatum because quick release, stamina. Clearly, JT the better shooter. and it's Brown's 1st ASG ... jitters? He's certainly capable of doing better. He can shoot OK, but he has other strengths |

Re Above: Our guys were 4th best scorers on each team.
More statistics….11 players each team so 42 total. Total score 170 to 150 = 230 pts. Our 2 guys Brown 22 pts and Tatum 21 pts = 43 pts. So our 2 guys represented approximately 5% (4.8% exactly) of the total players yet scored 20% (19.3% exactly) of the total score.
None of this really means a lot but statistically, at least, a pretty good scoring representation from the Celtics in the All Star game as Cole said the press acknowledged this.

Did anybody notice JB getting into Kyrie's grill a bit. He trapped Kyrie and knocked the ball out of bounds. Then he was in Kyrie's ear. On (I believe) the subsequent inbound play Kyrie gave him a push to separate. Kyrie didn't look too happy.
Brought a chuckle out of me.

Somebody forgot to tell Jaylen nobody plays defense in the All-Star Game I thought it was funny when they played Giannis saying he was open down low. It's like, everybody's open everywhere it's the All-Star Game |

Cole, I am ready to play you...I dont give a eff what..game on...you are going to have to play left handed however... I'm horrrible lefty at anything. Even after my wrist break and having to use it. I can spot you 7 or 8 in an 11 game though maybe this is really old, when i first started back in. I'm much better now (and 20 pounds thinner). Can you read the spin on these serves? |

Cole, I am ready to play you...I dont give a eff what..game on...you are going to have to play left handed however... I’ll pay either of you guys singles tennis or against both. It’s called Australian and I get the doubles court(sidelines) and you guys 2 against 1, of course, only get the singles court. |

I am not a fan of these wimpy sports where the serve gives you such an advantage. Duke it out guys. Give me Squash or Badminton any day.
