I still have all my b***ball cards from the 80s and they aren’t worth jack.

digital basketball cards smells like a scam in progress. can i at least get a pog or something?

Suns are rolling. Cp only has 2 points and they’re up 30+

I just looked in on that game a moment ago, after supper. I didn't stay for the pie.

i think i might cop some topshots, it's basically like playing the stock market but w/ basketball highlights

somewhat suspicious that this whole "money isn't real" development may not end well

money is not real, however, dunks are money. I admit these are confusing times but that’s the truth as I see it

"i think u shd leave" but replace bones with dunks

I wouldn’t mind some sick crossover top shots.

Lal vs wiz going to overtime. Seems like the Lakers have had like 7 overtime games this month

Lebron looked old at the end of this game. Wizards five Ws in a row

I think the idea is ridiculous, but leaving that aside is there really any angle for somebody without a lot of money? it’s not like a random tyler herro highlight is going to one day 4x in price.

oh ok I misunderstood part of it, I guess there are “packs” and you could get something rare

ok I read this and it’s kind of cool

csgo skin trading but with twitter highlights

the allure is just gambling id guess

Top Shots thing is so incredibly stupid. The artificial scarcity reminds me of MtG.

can i get a topshot of dray kicking adams in the nuts?

i'd like the bruce bowen kicking wally world in the face one

topshot lulz economy starts here

randle over middleton is kind of insane IMHO, middleton is having a better year and randle has had one half of a season being this good ever

congrats to the boston celtics they have not really played that well but whatever they are good players

yeah agreed

paul over booker huh, tho i guess whichever didn't get picked is gonna replace brow

booker not quite having the year he had last when he def shouldve made it

trae not making it is kind of wild

really jaylen shouldve been listed as a front court player then he couldve taken voochs spot and trae could have the backcourt spot no one wants vooch in the big game

lavine, vucevic, randle making it over middleton, bam, trae is craziness. perhaps every team in the east is .500 bcuz their coaches are imbeciles.

might be something to that

feel like every nba generation has a guy who is like the most borderline all-star type who literally not a single person wants to watch in an exhibition game and vooch is extremely that dude

joe johnson handing over the armband or whatever it is

fucked up that conley has never been an all-star

Devin Booker is the most disrespected player in our league!!! Simple as that.

idk guys i think lavine deserves it over trae. he's got that team in 8th place (hakws 10th) and his splits are insane:

28/5/5/1
on 52/43/86

while trae is
27/4/9/1
on 44/38/88 and everyone hates his ref bating.

CP over Booker is hilarious, even if booker hasnt been his best self (looking good of late, tho)

weird that there are two guys on the east team who have half a season of allstar production they usually make you prove it for a year before they let you in, unless youre zion or someone like that

idly wonder if russ is super pissed and is going to go 6 for 38 next time the wizards are out there to take his vengeance

also people like to watch lavine dunk, and zion

wonder how ingraham feels about zion getting in over him

broken record thing but the general talent level of the west vs east squads is pretty frickin nuts

i dont feel like theres a big fanbase for lavine but i could be wrong he is generally the type of player who could have fans

I always feel weird about guys like lavine because they’re making the all star team largely because they are seemingly at the far high end of their shooting variance. But you can’t argue with those numbers.

lol that luka 3 is brutal for the c’s, good D

LUKA x2

not much you can do about that except not be down big needing a 16-3 run to even get the game close at the end

Why did they put tacko in

it’s tuesday

Lol
