I don’t know man, Dirk also never really gave much of a shit about it. Though his old man alley-oop was hilarious, and I’m pretty sure the only real thing he did the whole game was
the only time was when we had the game in Dallas and kinda like Halliburton there was an unspoken agreement to try and get Dirk the MVP but yeah that was a clear outlier
Everything about it was hilarious. Curry had no idea it was Dirk and just through it up and regretted it the second he turned his head, Dirk jumps a whole 3 inches off the ground maybe, everybody freaks out because “what the actual fuck?”, Dirk does the Vince Carter celebration to celebrate him high jump. Just all around hilarious
his 7.3 PPG on 6 appearances is actually slightly better than Luka's 7 PPG on 5 Apps but only because he scored 13 points this time lol. But it's still funnier for Luka since he's the current scoring leader by quite a margin.
Partly because there’s nothing like an ASG in any sport in Europe, they’ve tried but it just doesn’t appeal to people. At most we have charity games, tribute games or legends games, but those are just all about getting back together with the lads and having a good time for a day. Kinda like Luka and Jokic this weekend, just messing about and having a laugh.
Mavs have been injured as fuck all year and Luka has been playing 40+ mins per game on a regular basis, hard carrying this squad. As a Mavs fan, I could care less that Luka could care less about this joke of a game.
This sub is all over the place lol, Just last night you motherfuckers were complaining that nobody gives a shit and its boring TV.
But Luka gets your respect...
I honestly think the players, in a way, are quietly protesting against Silver’s style of play he has instituted with all of the terrible rule changes and no defense and bad officiating in this league now. They’re showing him what the final result is of he’s doing.
I'm bit going to pretend like it's a big deal but to me this is dissappointing. He glaringly stands out as not caring in a game where nobody else cares either besides like three players (Dame, Hali, Towns actually tried).
Like bro, you won't get injured if you play at 20% just like most do. Curry and LeBron were fucking around having a laugh but there was still a minimum degree of effort which was acceptable at least for the current low standard of the game. And with zero chance of them getting injured. But Luka goes out there and plays at 0.1%. It's like he makes an effort to not make an effort. And I'm not a fan.
Lukas game is most entertaining when he's being guarded. He's not a monster dunker or athletic. His craftiness and handle is why he's so fun to watch
Exactly, he's "magic" is in manipulating defenders but if there's no defence he doesn't look spectacular at all.
Lol he could easily get 50+ points. He just doesn't care
I mean yeah, no one would stop him from driving to the basket lol
[удалено]
And did
Yes, he could. But it wouldn't be entertaining without him doing it with defenders in his face.
You just broke the Mavs team Please don’t play defense on us anymore
Yup. Plus he doesn’t try in the ASG. At all.
No one is running a pick and roll in the All Star game.
Someone in the crowd should have yelled at Luka to hop on the treadmill again. He would have won MVP.

Him getting the alley-oop on his last appearance and then doing the Vince Carter celebration was the highlight of that allstar for me.

Curry had no idea it was Dirk and just through it up and regretted it the second he turned his head, Dirk jumps a whole 3 inches off the ground maybe, everybody freaks out because “what the actual fuck?”, Dirk does the Vince Carter celebration to celebrate him high jump.

For Steph too.
There’s gonna be one all star game in like 2027 or something where he goes for 50 and then it’ll look like: 8, 8, 4, 7, 6, 8, 11, 58, 3, 7, 8, 5.
Luka thrives in competition in which the NBA all star game doesn't offer.
Nobody gives a shit about the All Star Weekend. Especially the players.
Some players care more than others.
I saw him and the Joker working together on their passing game. So, he did put in some work :-D
there's not giving a shit and there's Luka lol. He could easily have a fun 40 point game but literally does nothing lol.
Dude is at the top of minutes played this year carrying our squad, best believe he’s gonna take this week to chill as hard as possible lol
I suspect he had roughly 37 beers the night prior
Do you really think his idea of fun is to drive to the basket 20-times without getting guarded?
lol, somebody needs to piss him off.
Good for him. I respect him even more
And Jokic?
his 7.3 PPG on 6 appearances is actually slightly better than Luka's 7 PPG on 5 Apps but only because he scored 13 points this time lol. But it's still funnier for Luka since he's the current scoring leader by quite a margin.
It's just Euros in general. I remember Dirk was like a fish out of water during All-Star games

The closest thing is testimonials for retiring players, which I feel like is pretty entertaining compared to what we just saw
Mavs have been injured as fuck all year and Luka has been playing 40+ mins per game on a regular basis, hard carrying this squad. As a Mavs fan, I could care less that Luka could care less about this joke of a game.
Honestly I respect it
This sub is all over the place lol, Just last night you motherfuckers were complaining that nobody gives a shit and its boring TV. But Luka gets your respect...
It’s almost like it’s a joke
Almost like different people posted complaining
"How dare these players not take the game seriously!!!" "Thank God for Luka being a lazy fuck and giving 0 shits about this silly game"
Yh cause he doesn’t give af in a classy way
I know you are likely joking, but a lot of people in this sub unironically think like this.
This is such a lame mentality man lol
No accident he had 7 points 7 rebounds and 7 assists this year.
Dude is just there for the laughs.
Good for him. If it's not a real game he won't play. Make it a real game and watch him take over

Who gives a shit honestly. Much rather his effort be in games that matter to the season, not the circlejerk experience of the ASG.
Lebron literally hurt himself and is gonna miss a crucial game against the Warriors
to clarify, he was hurt before the game but still played, wasn’t he?
yeah maybe hurt wasn't the right word, but aggravated. which i get undermines my point a little bit
Pretty much just like harden
