NBA All Star 2016: Klay Thompson is new three-point king

D-LEAGUE’S DAY: The best from the NBA Development League get the stage in the afternoon, as the D-League has its own All-Star Game, 3-point and slam dunk contests.

The NBA All-Star weekend continues with a variety of competitions on tap tonight.

It won’t be long before they get serious again.

“Every piece that we have means a lot to the process”, James said. The Sunday night NBA All-Star affair was full of big showings ending with “The Game” setting the record for most combined points, 369, in the history of the contest.

Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh was originally listed as a participant but withdrew, even from the All-Star Game, because of a lingering calf injury. Nobody has won two in a row since Nate Robinson in 2009-10. He’s easy to talk to, which I didn’t know because he’s Michael Jordan. Bogut’s Defensive Real-Plus Minus (DRPM) – which estimates the number of points a player adds or subtracts to his team’s net scoring margin for each 100 defensive possessions played – of +6.23 is second to only Tim Duncan in the entire National Basketball Association, and compares favorably to his DRPM of +4.97 of a year ago, which was also good for second-best in the league.

San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Cleveland seem to have the best chances to prevent Golden State from repeating, though the Warriors blew out the Spurs and Cavaliers last time they met. “It was insane. In my opinion, yes”.

The Saturday night All-Star Weekend matchup everyone yearned for was defending champ Stephen Curry against fellow Warriors Splash Brother Klay Thompson.

Gordon, using the Orlando mascot as a setup man, took the ball off his head and then jumped over him. The two went through three rounds of flawless scores until finally, Gordon was given a 47 to open the door.

The only boos went to the judges, with the crowd thinking Shaquille O’Neal was a little stingy with a couple of 9s instead of ideal 10s. However, they may not be catching up anytime soon and there are a couple of reasons. Thompson had 17 points entering the final rack and knocked down all five money-ball shots.

“He definitely shot well tonight”, Curry said. I don’t care what words may have come out of his mouth, but there is no way that this pathological competitor would be fine with one of his legendary achievements being topped.

“I’m glad I was able to help the bigs come out with this trophy”, said Towns, the No. 1 overall pick in the June draft.
