New Orleans is gonna be lit.
The 2017 NBA All-Star Weekend has started in the Big Easy, and as always, the atmosphere has been nothing short of electric. Sure, there's no Zach Lavine in the Slam Dunk Contest, no Kevin Love for the East All-Stars, and no Joel Embiid for Team World, but there are still so many things to love about this year's #ASW.
Not to mention so much drama, too.
I mean, who cannot wait to see Russell Westbrook team up again with ex-BFF Kevin Durant for the West? Heck, I wanna see Steve Kerr put Russ in their with all FOUR GSW All-Stars! Let's see how that goes, eh?
And, well, LBJ hasn't been able to lead the East to a win the past couple of seasons, so he'll probably be extra fired up in this edition.
Here are a couple of episodes of The Score from ABS-SCBN Sports + Action where I talked with TJ Manotoc (first clip) and Anton Roxas (second clip) about the #ASW!
My picks to win:
Rising Stars Challenge: Team World (Let's go, Kristaps!)
Skills Challenge: Anthony Davis (NOLA represent!)
Three-Point Contest: Klay Thompson (again)
Slam Dunk Contest: Aaron Gordon (shoulda won last year, but he'll bag it this year)
All-Star Game: East (We may see the first in-game infighting in an All-Star Game!!!)
What do you think?
