When Parker and Ginobili were out and Mills was on his hot streak he was getting attention left, right and centre. Twitter was abuzz and whilst this recognition was completely deserved it really made me think about Bogut being under-appreciated.

Is Bogut Australia’s most under-appreciated sporting star?

That’s exactly the problem! He contributes so much to the Warriors and just because he isn’t those things he rarely gets due credit. I think this absolutely should not be the way we think though. We need to look beyond the box scores and actually watch full games to recognize Bogut’s efforts.

Great piece, I agree completely with everything said! It is an absolute joke that there will be only 6 races live on free to air TV. When this deal first got announced I was jumping for joy, little did I know that from 2015 on wards I won’t be able to watch the majority of races. Not being live is bad enough, but then to not even show the full race is a disgrace!

New V8 Supercars broadcast deal is a blow to traditional fan-base

This is ridiculous! 1 hour of highlights?! Surely we deserve better than that. I hope this backfires and channel 10 are forced to put every full race on free to air.

"More eyeballs" to watch V8s: boss

We will have to wait and see. There is no guarantee that the Lakers want Exum enough to pick him before the likes of Parker, Embiid, Randle, or Wiggins. Realistically, the Lakers could have a top 4 pick, which means at least one of the aforementioned players will still be available.

Completely agree. Bogut is the perfect fit for GSW. They have the scorers, so Bogut doesn’t need to score 20+ points. They need his defence, and he has been providing it for them this season.

Results don’t matter, but you want to see improvement, effort and fight from your players.
Brisbane supporters need to take in to account they have learned a completely new game plan over the summer and patience is key.

Pre-season results matter little: Lions

Nothing wrong with a bit of passion. I still can’t believe a head coach actually threw punches at an NBL game; something I thought I’d never see.

How should the NBL react to the Basketbrawl?

All Star Saturday Night is over. There were some negatives throughout the dunk contest until John Wall came along. I’ve got to give big props to Ben McLemore, he tried hard and gave us some big dunks. For me, the three-point contest was the highlight of the night.

What was your favourite contest?

In my opinion, the new dunk format didn’t work. Without John Wall’s double-clutch reverse jam this year’s dunk contest would’ve been very forgettable.

John Wall is crowned ‘Slam Dunker of the Night’. I didn’t see that one coming…

If you don’t like that dunk by John Wall, you just don’t like basketball!

JOHN WALL IS TOO GOOD!! WINNER!!

McLemore dunks over Shaq sitting in a chair. Points for creativity, but points will be deducted for needing 2 attempts. Wall up now!

McLemore is dressed up and has Shaq by his side.

Paul George has way too much flare and power for Harrison Barnes. George wins the battle.!

2014 NBA All Star three-point and slam dunk contest – live blog

Nothing too impressive from Barnes. Hopefully Paul George can save this contest.

Terrence Ross brings out Drake. Drake did a nice job of just holding the ball out for Ross to grab and dunk. All in all, a good dunk by Ross.

Terrence Ross wins the first battle – 2 votes to 1.
Next battle is Harrison Barnes against Paul George. Barnes up first.

Terrence Ross is going to do something big!!

First battle is Damian Lillard and Terrence Ross. Lillard up first.

Ben McLemore showed us that he can get up high! Pumped to see what he can produce in the battle round. I’m hoping for that 720 dunk!

The East win the freestyle round. Dominique Wilkins, Dr. J, and Magic Johnson all voted for the East.

Damian Lillard showed us he can jump! He went for a between the legs dunk and got it on the second attempt. A BIG highlight.
