PrintTonight is really the main event of NBA All-Star Weekend, isn't it? In 3 years, no one's going to remember the final score of tomorrow's game, or who won the MVP award. They'll probably remember the dunk contest, though, and maybe even the three-point shootout. Here's your thread to discuss all the festivities, which kick off at 8 PM.

no faith in Gerald Wallace? lol
I agree about Chauncey in the 3pt shootout, and go with Nash in the skills challenge, mostly because he’s probably operating on pure adrenaline at this point.

I'm gonna have to agree with TGS about Nash
He’s gonna be great. I wish J-Will was in the skills contest and JJ in the 3 point shootout. Oh well, what can ya do?
welcome to the dark siiiiiiiide

It's tied with the Dunk Wheel contest.
Some guys didn’t even try.
I hate Varejao.
It's because Arnold was in the house. He jinxed it.

Why everyone in the nba keeps saying
lackadaisical ???
some times I imagine this team with VC & J-Will at their prime...
Steve Nash was the only one who came through for me.
Steph just missed, and Shannon Brown embarrassed me. They need to do something about the dunk contest. They don’t have to introduce some lame gimmick (a la the “Dunk Wheel”), just give some more incentive for a star to do it. LeBron needs to stop punking out already. Kobe did it, ’Nique did it, Jordan did it, he can do it.
I hate Varejao.
I agree, except fo Nash, the whole thing was pretty awful.
The next time I want to be in that much pain, I’ll just punch myself in the crotch.
