观察与评论
- NBA在“好莱坞”这个主题上做足了文章，整晚都能看到球星们在成群结队的追星狗仔队簇拥下步入球场。
- 那个歌手配合着Tears for Fears乐队《Everybody Wants to Rule the World》的伴奏念出球员名字的NBA广告非常洗脑。也许有人会为今年的马刺阵容也写首歌。
- 扣篮大赛已经处于濒死边缘了。
州立农业保险 (State Farm) 三分大赛
在一个持续推崇三分球的联盟里，听到雷吉·米勒 (Reggie Miller) 逐一分析每位球员的投篮姿势如何预示着他们在这项比赛中的表现，确实很有意思。今晚，对几乎所有参赛者来说，4分点的Logo位都是一个“投篮冷点”。
第一轮
多诺万·米切尔 (Donovan Mitchell) 在前两个投篮点手感火热，但后程乏力，最终得到24分。贾马尔·穆雷 (Jamal Murray) 在各个投篮点之间始终找不到节奏，仅得到17分，表现挣扎。诺曼·鲍威尔 (Norman Powell) 在场上的投篮姿势很高，看起来像拉沙德·刘易斯 (Rashard Lewis)，最终得到23分。鲍比·波蒂斯 (Bobby Portis) 和穆雷一样，表现杂乱无章，最终仅得到寒酸的15分。泰瑞斯·马克西 (Tyrese Maxey) 拥有像利拉德那样轻松的出手姿势，但只得到了17分。
康·克努佩尔 (Kon Kneuppel)（27分）开局不错，而最后两位年长的参赛者——德文·布克 (Devin Booker)（仿佛克莱·汤普森附体，拿下30分）和达米安·利拉德 (Damian Lillard)（从他众多的腿部伤势中看不出任何疲态，拿下27分）成功进入第一轮的前三名。
决赛轮
克努佩尔在直觉穹顶球馆（Intuit Dome）的聚光灯下显得后劲不足，投出了不少砸在后篮筐上的“打铁”，最终以17分获得第三名。
布克和利拉德上演了一场足以载入史册的对决。利拉德在每个投篮点的表现都非常稳定，凭借29分的成绩给布克带来了巨大的压力。
在利拉德的赛后采访中，当他说自己早就知道决赛会是这三名选手时，我很难相信他，但他今晚确实实至名归。布克在前10投中命中了9球，并在最后一个投篮点有多次反超利拉德的机会，可惜他投丢了最后三球——仅以两分之差惜败给三届冠军得主利拉德。
冠军：达米安·利拉德 (Damian Lillard)（波特兰开拓者队）
起亚 (Kia) 投篮之星大赛
投篮之星大赛死而复生，每支球队的领队都被指定为各轮的传球手——事实证明，领队/传球手对最终结果至关重要。
哈珀队（Team Harper）由2 Chainz领衔，拥有我们最喜欢的父子组合——罗恩·哈珀 (Ron Harper) 和小罗恩·哈珀 (Ron Harper, Jr.)，以及马刺队的新秀迪兰·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)。
全明星队（Team All-Star）由Druski领衔，成员包括斯科蒂·巴恩斯 (Scottie Barnes)、切特·霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren) 以及前活塞队球星“面具侠”理查德·汉密尔顿 (Richard Hamilton)。
卡梅隆队（Team Cameron，以卡梅隆室内体育馆命名）由演员安东尼·安德森领衔，成员有前杜克球员克努佩尔、老鹰队的杰伦·约翰逊 (Jalen Johnson) 以及前快船球员科里·马盖蒂 (Corey Maggette)。
尼克斯队（Team Knicks）派出了杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson)、卡尔-安东尼·唐斯 (Karl-Anthony Towns) 和阿兰·休斯顿 (Allan Houston)，由杰伦的父亲里克·布伦森 (Rick Brunson) 领衔。
第一轮
全明星队：Druski作为指定传球手，一些糟糕的传球表现就像那个在空荡荡的体育馆里一个球都投不进的男人的段子一样。球队最终仅得到16分。
卡梅隆队：安东尼·安德森对待职责更加认真，克努佩尔的底角三分在还剩很多时间的情况下就超过了Druski队的总分。卡梅隆队最终得到24分。
*哈珀队：*老罗恩竟然投丢了一个空篮！而两个儿子也没能弥补父亲缺失的投篮手感。不过，哈珀父子最终还是拿到了18分。你们知道T-Chainz以前打过NCAA一级联赛吗？
***尼克斯队：***阿兰·休斯顿的底线三分帮助尼克斯队以惊人的31分闯入决赛。
决赛轮
*卡梅隆队：*马盖蒂在快船主场观众的欢呼声中表现出色，命中了几记关键球，帮助球队获得38分。
***尼克斯队：***这支球队凭借超远中场投篮带来的势头，以47分的显著优势夺冠。但我们知道，就像他们的酋长杯冠军一样，全明星赛后肯定会有一波颓势。所以我们这些马刺拥趸心态很稳。
冠军：尼克斯队
间场表演
卢达·克里斯 (Ludacris)——身穿多米尼克·威尔金斯 (Dominique Wilkins) 的球衣——在扣篮大赛舞台布置期间带来了一段简短的演出。
第一首歌是《Get out the Way》——这很好地隐喻了马刺队目前对西部其他球队所做的事情。
下一首歌：《When I Move You Move》——这非常形象地类比了马刺队那群优秀后卫在比赛中的跑位。
冠军：那些听着嘻哈音乐长大的35-50岁的人。
AT&T 扣篮大赛
评委团包括：前马刺球员布伦特·巴里 (Brent Barry)——他穿着1996年在圣安东尼奥夺冠时穿的那件亮眼的快船训练外套、科里·马盖蒂、德怀特·霍华德 (Dwight Howard)、多米尼克·威尔金斯以及“J博士”朱利叶斯·欧文 (Julius Erving)。我非常喜欢NBC在转播中通过球员入场视频来为他们造势。他们将扣篮场地设在球场大屏幕墙一侧，营造出了扎实的背景效果。迈阿密热火队总裁帕特·莱利 (Pat Riley) 也来为他的年轻球员助阵——他看起来很像英国演员乔纳森·普雷斯 (Jonathan Pryce)。
第一轮
卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant)——被称为“卡特小子 (Carter the Kid)”——他的第一次尝试让人想起文斯·卡特 (Vince Carter) 在2000年时的那个反向转体单手扣篮。这让他得到了45.6分。随后，布莱恩特抓住进入前二的机会，给自己抛了一个好球，并完成了一个大风车扣篮，得到了49.2分。
凯沙德·约翰逊 (Keshad Johnson)——被赋予了“305航班 (Flight 305)”（戴德县区号）的称号——他与湾区嘻哈教父E-40一起入场，但随后第一次尝试就扣飞了。第二次尝试是飞跃E-40后的单手扣篮，并配合了一个手放在头侧的庆祝动作。他47.4的分数在四人组中名列第一。在两次糟糕的抛球后，他完成了一个双手反扣，虽然跳舞跳得比扣篮好，但评委还是给了他45.4分。
杰斯·理查德森 (Jase Richardson)（杰森·理查德森之子）——不出所料被称为“J-Rich 重燃 (J-Rich Reignited)”——他做了一个平庸的自抛自接空中双手反扣。这种扣篮在过去十多年里已经被玩烂了。他因此得到了45.4分。在接下来的四次尝试失败后——其中一次甚至滑倒摔了个四脚朝天——他完成了一个270度力量扣篮，得到了43.4分。
贾克森·海斯 (Jaxson Hayes)——作为湖人队扣篮排第三的大个子，他被冠以“行动派贾克森 (Action Jaxson)”的称号——随后他尝试一个罚球线内一步的单手滑翔扣篮，表现平平。他理所当然地得到了44.6分（得益于霍华德给出的47分，分数偏高）。在尝试一个胯下扣篮（参考伊塞亚·里德尔）并高高弹起后，他的下一次尝试完成得比较干净，得到了47.2分。
决赛轮
“卡特小子” (第一轮 – 94.8分)
第一次尝试：他更进了一步，超越了约翰逊的尝试，自抛自接完成胯下扣篮，令文斯·卡特和特雷西·麦克格雷迪大为惊叹，评委们一致给出了50分。
第二次尝试：在多次尝试贾马尔·克劳福德式的打板接文斯·卡特动作组合失败后，他被迫在扣篮计时器结束前做了一个360度扣篮。这只让他得到了43.0分（这很可能勾起了人们对马刺之前比赛中那些扣丢球的糟糕回忆），并将冠军拱手让给了约翰逊。
“305航班” (第二轮 – 92.8分)
第一次尝试：他完成了上一轮没做成的动作——底线胯下反扣，得到了49.6分。
第二次尝试：约翰逊从后场开始助跑，完成了一个单手扣篮，但这比起扎克·拉文在2016-2017年做的那些动作要逊色得多。他得到的47.8分意味着布莱恩特只需要在最后一次尝试拿到47.5分即可。
冠军：凯沙德·约翰逊 (Keshad Johnson)（迈阿密热火队）
现在，我们可以共同期待维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 和德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 在明晚全明星正赛中的表现了。

The Spurs were well represented at 2026 All-Star Saturday night
Observations
- The NBA leaned in hard on the Hollywood bit with stars being brought into the arena among a throng of adoring paparazzi throughout the evening.
- The NBA ad where the singer spits out players names with the instrumentals for Tears for Fears’ ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’ is catchy. Maybe someone will do a song about this year’s Spurs roster.
- The Dunk Contest is on its deathbed.
State Farm 3-Point Shooting Contest
In a league that continues to display the 3-point shot more, it was really nice to hear Reggie Miller provide the player-by-player analysis of how their respective forms could portend to success in this contest. The 4-point logo spot was a dead spot for nearly all of the participants tonight.
First Round
Donovan Mitchell had a blazing hot start on his first two racks, but faded late for 24 points. Jamal Murray could not find any momentum from rack-to-rack and languised with 17 points. Norman Powell looked like Rashard Lewis out there with a high release and finished with 23 points. Bobby Portis, like Murray, had a scattershot performance and ended up with a paltry 15. Tyrese Maxey has the makings of a Lillard-like easy-shooting form, but scored 17.
Kon Kneuppel (27 points) started the competition well, and the two last elder participants – Devin Booker (channeling his inner Klay Thompson with 30 points) and Damian Lillard (showing no visible wear from his myriad leg injuries with 27 points) finished in the top three for Round 1.
Final Round
Kneuppel faded in the bright lights of Intuit Dome and shot quite a good amount of back rim bricks and ended in third with 17 points.
Booker and Lillard staged a shootout for the ages. Lillard was consistently great on each rack and put tons of pressure on Booker with his 29 point performance.
I had a hard time believing Lillard in his congratulatory interview when he said that he knew it would be these three competitors in the finals, but he was a deserving winner tonight. Booker hit on 9 of his first 10 and had several opportunities to overtake Lillard on the final rack, but missed his final three – falling just two short of 3-time winner Lillard.
CHAMPION: Damian Lillard (Portland TrailBlazers)
Kia Shooting Stars
The Shooting Stars event was brought back from the dead, with the team leads assigned to be designated passers for each round – it turned out that the leads / passers truly mattered to the final outcome.
Team Harper, led by 2 Chainz, had our favorite father-son(s) combination – Ron and Ron, Jr. along with Spur rookie Dylan.
Team All-Star, led by Druski, had Scottie Barnes, Chet Holmgren, and former Piston Rip Hamilton.
Team Cameron (as in Indoor Stadium), led by actor Anthony Anderson, had former Dukies Kon Knueppel, Hawk Jalen Johnson, and former Clipper Corey Maggette.
Team Knicks fielded Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Allan Houston and was led by Jalen’s dad, Rick Brunson.
First Round
Team All-Star: Druski as the designated passer, resembled the skit of the guy that couldn’t make any shots in an empty gym with some horrific passing displays. The team finished with only 16 points.
Team Cameron: Anderson took his duties more seriously and Kneuppel’s corner three surpassed Druski’s total with many seconda to spare. Cameron finished with 24.
Team Harper: Ron, Sr. missed an open lay-up! And the sons could not make up for dad’s lack of shooting touch. However, the Harpers finished with 18. Did you all know T-Chainz played Division I basketball?
Team Knicks: Allan Houston’s baseline three put the Knicks into the finals with a staggering 31 points.
Final Round
Team Cameron: Maggette played to the adoring home Clipper crowd and converted several key buckets on the way to a 38-point showing.
Team Knicks: The team rode a wave of momentum with the halfcourt shot to an emphatic 47 point victory. But we know that, just like with their Emirates Cup title, there’ll be a post-All Star swoon coming. So we Pounders are good.
CHAMPION: Team Knicks
Between Competition Entertainment
Ludacris – in a Dominique Wilkins jersey – went through a quick set while the stage was getting set for the dunk contest.
First song was ‘Get out the Way” – a good euphemism for what the Spurs are doing to the other Western Conference teams so far.
Next song: “When I Move You Move” – a great analogy for the in-game movement of the Spurs’ cadre of excellent guards
CHAMPION: People between 35-50 years old who grew up on hiphop.
AT&T Slam Dunk
The judges were: former Spur Brent Barry – resplendent in the Clipper warm-up jacket he wore when he won the 1996 contest in San Antonio, Corey Maggette, Dwight Howard, Dominique Wilkins, and ‘Doctor J’ Julius Erving. I really liked that the NBC telecast hyped up the players with walk-in videos. They staged the dunk set on the Wall side of the arena to create a solid background effect. Miami Heat president Pat Riley came to support his young player – resembling British actor Jonathan Pryce.
First Round
Carter Bryant – deemed ‘Carter the Kid’ – his first attempt was reminiscent of Vince Carter’s (2000) twist-in-the- wrong-direction for a one-handed jam. That netted him a score of 45.6. Bryant, with a chance to get into the top two, tossed a nice ball to himself and punched in a windmill slam that resulted in a 49.2.
Keshad Johnson – given the name ‘Flight 305’ (Dade County) – he sauntered in with Bay Area rap royalty E-40 and then followed it by doinking his first attempt. The second one involved leaping over E-40 for a one-handed jam with a hand to the side of the head for measure. His 47.4 score placed him first of the quartet. After two botched tosses, he converted a reverse two-handed dunk and, after dancing better than dunking, the judges gave him a 45.4.
Jase Richardson (son of Jason) – was not surprisingly coined ‘J-Rich Reignited’ – a milquetoast toss-it-to-himself and catch it mid-air for a two-hand reverse dunk. This type of dunk has been done too many times in the last decade-plus. He earned a score of 45.4 for this. After missing his next four – including one where he wiped out and fell on his backside – he threw down a 270 power dunk and received a 43.4.
Jaxson Hayes – the third best dunking big on the Lakers was assigned the moniker ‘Action Jaxson’ – then proceeded to fizzle out on a one-handed floating dunk from well within the free throw stripe. He deservedly got the 44.6 score he received (skewed higher by Howard’s 47). After a between-the-legs try (think Isaiah Rider) that bounced high off the rim, his next attempt went through mostly cleanly and got him 47.2.
Final Round
‘Carter the Kid’ (1st Round – 94.8)
Attempt #1: He one-upped Johnson’s try with a high toss to himself and a between-the-legs throwdown that impressed Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady and generated 50s across the board.
Attempt #2: After missing a Jamal Crawford backboard toss and Vince Carter combo multiple times, he was forced to do a 360 slam to beat the dunk-clock. This got him a 43.0 (and likely bringin back bad memories of missed dunks in San Antonio’s earlier games) and ceded the contest to Johnson.
‘Flight 305’ (2nd Round – 92.8)
Attempt #1: He converted the one that he unsuccessfully tried in the previous one – a baseline between-the-legs reverse that netted him a 49.6.
Attempt #2: Johnson started from deep in the backcourt and tossed home a one-hander that was outshined by so many of Zach LaVine’s prior ones from 2016-2017. His 47.8 score necessitated a 47.5 for Bryant on his final attempt.
CHAMPION: Keshad Johnson (Miami Heat)
Now we can all look forward to Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox’s appearances in the All-Star Game tomorrow night.
