2024 NBA Season

[crwth]

Tomorrow is the Rising Stars Challenge, who do you think will win and why?

Team world vs Team US, team US are the favorite in all sports book.

I'm with the Team World, Luka Doncic and Ben Simmons fan boy. <3

For team USA, Lonzo Ball is currently injured.

Bogdan Bogdanovic, Luka Doncic and Ben Simmons will lead Team World.

But Team USA is pretty solid as well with Kyle Kuzma, Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum and Trae Young so even without Lonzo Ball they can still win, so I go with Team USA here. 

Doncic would easily be one of the stars. Averaging at least 20 points, it is definitely increasing the contributes in Dallas. I know he will be talented enough to push his team to victory.

Let's not forget Lauri Markkanen. Bulls are not really taking off but he has improvements to his shooting rates. I think with the next games he will do, he is getting pumped and maybe continue scoring in the game itself. Maybe filling the support that he needs.

Doncic will show hell of a performance against the Team USA. But I'm still going with the Team World, both teams are solid.

But it's more exciting to take my bet with Team World.

And thats how Klay separates from real superstars. He's ability is limited to only pure shooting skills, if he's having an off-night, he cant do nothing to help his team get the W.

I disagree, Curry also have an off night when he is locked down by his defender but they are lucky to win some games.

Seems like we don't notice how improve the Portland TrailBlazers this season, they have improve their defense inside and the back court duo of Lillard and C. J. McCollum are blending well, they are moving the ball well, and shoot outside with great percentage, and we should also note
that some of their players even big man are shooting well in the 3 point spot.

I disagree as well. Klay Thompson is a better defensive player than Curry so he can contribute in the defensive side as well. It's just his on a off-night and he can't do anything and definitely he vent his frustrations. Lillard and C. J. McCollum on the other hand is clicking I saw some youtube interviews of the two and it seems they're really focus to bring Portland to the next level.

Well, thats just my opinion and views towards Klay, besides, there were couple of defensive players around his team, so that makes him less noticable on that end.
While on the other hand, Portland is a team that really has something to prove in the playoffs.  Lillard and CJ is a perfect compliment for each other.

Yep, the Lilard and CJ tandem is a perfect match for Portland. As for Klay, of course his main weapon is his outside shooting but his defense is sometimes underrated. He play good defense in my opinion. I wouldn't say elite though, as others may have suggested, but he has a good perimeter defense.

As for the Team World vs Team USA, I'll go with Team World here.

I dont know if its just me but the All Star week has become the most boring event in the NBA. I'd choose the regular game week over the All-Stars. Talking about the Rising Star challenge, I think team World got this.. they have Ben Simmons, Lauri Markkanen,  Bogdan Bogdanović and the  main man, Luka Doncic. Team USA has Kyle Kuzma, Donovan Mitchell, Jayson Tatum but they all have the same game style. I'd say its not wise to gamble on All Star weekend as the players themselves dont take the even seriously. So, anything could happen. If I had to put my money on it, I'd say team world. Worth the odds.

Thanks for your honest opinion, team world it is, they have a more matured player and Luka will be playing for the world, how sensational this player is.
I think team US is just overrated, why the hell they are the favorites in this game but it's not something to complain if you are a gambler.
You'll pick whoever give you a winning chance with the odds of the team world, it's good to gamble with the dog.

If play just to have some spice while watching the game, I'll also go with the team world, though the competition for me is balance, the lineups are competitive from both ends,it's a matter of pride from those super rookies of this season, I just do hope that they will showcase what they have to entertained all the fans.

Since they are the rising Stars, expecting that they will take this game with pride, whoever wins will gained more attentions to their future and current fans.

I dont know if its just me but the All Star week has become the most boring event in the NBA. I'd choose the regular game week over the All-Stars.

Obviously regular games are way different in All-Star game. No need to choose over those. The first night event will be consists of new players that is already giving a spotlight in the league, that's make it more interesting to watch compare to prior All-Star events.

Anyways, Im with Team World like anybody here. But Team USA really have the advantage here not just because of experienced but they are mostly role players. Well then, entertainment purposes and I think Team World will be the one who will aggressive here.

Will not place a bet for this. No gambling for now this All-Star Weekend.

Enjoy the event guys!

Team world is stacked! Though i have to agree that the level of interest in this all start game or all star weekend in general, has declined over the years. I guess seeing some teams forming superteams with starters being allstars have taken it'll on this specific event.

They will surely show their top performance on this game and you are right that whoever wins this game will really get more attention or fans to look for them.About betting between teams
I would definitely choose up Team World but US is also a solid line up too but who knows, as long people would got entertained into their performance.This game might be boring for some but it isnt
bad to watch these rising stars.

Man I never believed I would see a team world with a bunch of great players, a non-usa team versus the usa team could be even a challenge if you ask me. I know the difference is still big in many countries versus USA but a world vs usa game could be pretty close. It is amazing that basketball is growing outside of USA so fast and so much that soon there will be more than half of the league that is not an american.

Team world has a clear clear advantage over USA, team USA do not posses half the talent team world has and doubt will ever have in the future neither. Team world is consisting of future superstars. Doncic not going first pick is just plain stupid, anyone who believed Doncic had a potential risk is a pure idiot, dude is clear pick in almost any draft he enters, he is a pure superstar and will be all-star for many years to come.

5 winning game streak for the Orlando Magic, the last 2 had been a blast.
A 30 point win against New Orleans and then a 38 win against the Charlotte.

Terrence Ross is having a great game against Charlotte with the help of Nikola Vučević and Aaron Gordon who both have a double double.
They are at 27-32 by now at the 10th spot but if they can avoid to lose again they might take that 8th spot. With this streaks they may somehow go to the playoffs if more efforts from the bench will come out.

Next game will be the Bulls, but after that will be a hard fight against the Raptors. Hope they can win both games.

Interesting to see that each teams from the West really competing, Magic is playing well 5 straight wins and they are really playing as a team now, expect to see more entertaining games after this all star week, more competition while the playoffs is approaching.

Let's enjoy for a while those selected players who will try to show their own individual talents from this all star games.

I'm excited as well and I'll go for Team Giannis . Just feeling disappointed because Luka didn't make on the list. I think he deserve a spot there, actually I am already anticipating that he will make long threes, make fancy moves and doing buzzer beaters (which he is good at) in that game but unfortunately he was not picked. Well, he is only a rookie so not bad at all, at least he was considered.

[vennali]

First Quarter ends and its Team USA with 40 Points and Team World makes 30. Great outside shooting from Kyle Kuzma who's hardly missing any and putting up a clinic. Ben Simmons really wants that rising star MVP lol..as he's ball hogging and driving straight to the rim while the defense so far has been lacking. They are getting a little tighter on defense now though. Lets see how it goes. I was expecting team world to put up a big show.. so far it has been slightly underwhelming.

[Japinat]

Team world loss guys, 144 - 161, a very high scoring game.
For a while, I thought they had a chance but the team USA is just too good tonight, they are shooting well.

I'm waiting now on who will be declared as MVP, it's probably Kuzma IMO.

[Oasisman]

So excited to watch the NBA allstar game. Hoping to see another competetive match between these two teams, just like the game from the last allstar game.
Lebron picks is like building a team pre-chemistry for the next season, its like half of these big names in the free agency will go to LA next year lol.

Team Lebron will still most likely gonna win this game.

It's just an exhibition game and lack of defense but Lebron is still very competitive, I have a feeling that he will win the All star MVP if their team win.
Once again here are the list of the starters, No offense to Team Giannis backers but  Team Giannis starters is like a bunch of rookies to me compared to Lebron's.


Team Lebron starters
LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving,  Kawhi Leonard, James Harden,


Team Giannis starters
Giannis Antetokounmpo,Stephen Curry, Joel Embiid, Paul George, Kemba Walker

Yeah! I'm so disappointed because for me Simmons-Luka is a powerhouse combo (I think I just probably overrate them) and yet they were beaten by USA. Well, the match is so close because of small pount lead but I noticed that the wind change in the 4th quarter. World committed more ball errors and more ball movement on the other side. That's the reason why they get beaten up, according to my observation.

Hey! Why you are not talking about the celebrity game? Lol, nevermind. I'm not interested either .

Wow, I thought Team World will take this one, but Team World was shooting poor specially in three points category and had more turnovers. Simmons lead them with 28 points, while Team USA had Kuzma with 35 points.

So he takes the MVP this year. Hats-off to him. It will also bring more confidence to him as a Laker.

It is a remarkable time for kuzma showing his capabilities, knowing that the game is composed of pure rising Stars, the future of NBA new legends, with that dominations he will be remembered and fans will delight him more, though I voted for Team World, I still adored and congratulate the team.

Can't wait to watch what would be the outcome of the rivals between team Gianni's and team LeBron's.,

All eyes is on the Lebron's vs Gianni's now. I'm sure every NBA fans wanted to Lebron's team to win because of its firepower. Anyways, here is a good article specially the stats of both teams.

Well i think most of us didn't quite expect the outcome as i was also rooting for team world to win but kyle has different plans it turns out lol. Shows he's got what it takes to lead a team and the lakers probably were saved a disaster when the ad trade didn't push through.
