To commemorate All-Star Saturday Night, Shoals, Mutoni and Skeets exchanged ideas and opinions in a chat room. The highlights are as follows:Shoals: Why will LeBron do the skills thing for the hell of it, but not dunk?
Mutoni: My theory: lose to a "nobody" in the dunk contest, and it looks awful. Sponsors and fans are unhappy. But lose in the meaningless skills thing, and the league is happy that you at least showed up. Win-win.
Shoals: Also, it's not clear who is supposed to have SKILLSLZ. We know who's supposed to be able to dunk.
Shoals: LeBron was "too cool," everyone already picked Wade.
Mutoni: I'm curious to see how seriously Bryant takes this.
Skeets: LeBron is blatantly mocking this Skills comp. I love it.
Shoals: They need to stop talking up Wade. And stop showing Bonds when Kobe's up.
Shoals: Bad association, too close to home, etc.
Mutoni: Sager gave Bonds a shoulder massage last night.
Shoals: Wade's wife has had so much work done it's not even funny.
Shoals: Remember her on draft night? She was totally girl next door.
Mutoni: She was homely. And I'm being kind.
Mutoni: Shaq is so corny.
Shoals: He must be a great dad.
Shoals: Kobe has kids who act like they're 30.
Mutoni: Dick looks mad serious.
Shoals: I like that the league actually did this.
Mutoni: He tapped Ernie on the ass. Highlight of the weekend!
Mutoni: Barkley's wearing bling. He's already lost.
Mutoni: I can't believe Bevetta dove. Wow. Athlete's pride.
Shoals: He's like the don of refs
Mutoni: Oh god. They kissed!
Shoals: That was totally at Hardaway.
Mutoni: Stern probably ordered it.
Skeets: How awesome/pathetically sad is it that the race was a million times better than the shooting stars and skills events?
Skeets: They need to hurry up and incorporate some one-one and/or horse in these Sat. night festivities ASAP.
Shoals: They should have a trick 3-point contest.
Skeets: Explain...
Shoals: I mean J.R. Smith-style three's
Skeets: Who do you think would win a four-point contest? My pick is Mo-Pete.
Shoals: Bron.
Mutoni: Damon Jones is going to hang himself if he doesn't at least make the finals.
Skeets: Dirk's shot stays in the air sooooo long. I just grew a beard on that money ball.
Shoals: Odds that this 3-point thing is more hype than the dunk contest?
Skeets: 4-1.
Mutoni: Yeah, it's weird. But i think the dunk off is going to be awesome. Green and Howard are going to open some eyes.
Mutoni: Are we ready for a world where Kapono beats both Dirk and Arenas? I say no.
Shoals: LEGENDS Skeets: KAP-DOG!
Mutoni: What the hell? When did Wade get a chance to get dressed up after the skills challenge? That was some Superman/ Clark Kent ish.
Skeets: I thought he was Flash ... now I'm confused.
Mutoni: Kapono is getting laid tonight!
Shoals: I think any NBA player can get laid tonight.

Dwight Howard got robbed. Why should Robinson and Green get better scores for dunks that have already been done? And how can Green get a perfect score for dunking over a table that's taller than Nate Robinson? Lame.

Greens dunks had not been done before. i agree that the last dunk didn't deserve a perfect score. But his dunks had not been done before. He certainly deserved the win tonight. The dunk over Nate Robinson was the best dunk of the night, hands down.

Somebody with Tivo please tell me what Dwight Howard wrote on the sticker! Seeing Jameer Nelson bust out a tape measure and go Tool Time up in there was amazing. DH was robbed.
Retro jersey? Done. Plus, he peaked on the Dee Brown homage. For the record, I tried to replicate the Dee Brown "no look" in a rec league game lay-up when I was 10 years old. It didn't go well. I was wearing L.A. Gear "Regulators" because my moms wouldn't buy me the real pumps. Thanks, mom.

I hope these tatooed jag offs can dunk, they're only six seven and taller. The slam dunk contest is a joke just like everything else about the nba.

The slam dunk is the most stupid contest -- how can you call it talent when the people jump higher than the basket! Up until the late 1980's it would have been a technical foul -- that's the way the game should have stayed. Doing outside shots and using the boards inside is talent. I used to watch Celtics basketball all the time. It was fun to watch some of the most amazing "skilled" shots that players could do. Now it's a joke --- they might as well rename it to WWF basketball.

I agree to all the Howard and Green comments! Dwight should've told people before hand what he was doing for his 2nd attempt cause I know he has mad hops and my man Willie "the green ranger" Green with the Dee Brown no look, MAN. 10/10
