Rudy Gobert on his 360-dunk off of Dejounte’s between-the-legs pass:

They got KAT mic’d up saying it’s hard to believe it’s not rigged to Draymond on inside trax 😂😭 – 11:17 PM

For Jazz fans interested, Rudy Gobert went 3-3, finished with 6 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, and was a minus-4 plus/minus in 12:33 of action for the vanquished Team Durant. – 11:09 PM
Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
Like Draymond, KAT is going to be great on TV when that time comes. – 9:53 PM

Also in the column….
* Joel Embiid has been fantastic, but the overlooking of Nikola Jokic’s season (which is better than his MVP campaign) simply has to stop
* Adam Silver, Draymond Green, and Trae Young discuss the James Harden-Ben Simmons sagas

Every year Rudy Gobert is a better addition to the #NBAAllStar game than the national fanbase expects.

“I thought he’d be good. This fast, I’m not sure.” – Draymond Green on Dejounte Murray becoming an All-Star so quick in his career.
Draymond says Dejounte has always been good, but once he got his jump shot down, he went to another level. – 9:03 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Took about 12 minutes of Draymond with a live mic to slander Utah. My under bet hit! – 9:02 PM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
Dejounte shows off his three-level shooting skills…and a between-the-legs pass to Gobert for a dunk. (Somewhere Drew Eubanks is nodding). – 9:00 PM

Lmao nobody is touching Chris Paul right now and he’s out here trying to swipe it from Rudy Gobert off a rebound – 8:47 PM

Draymond Green: “It was bad”
Shaq: “That was the worst dunk contest ever” – 8:43 PM

Lmao Draymond – 8:41 PM
Carl Steward @stewardsfolly
As we’ve learned from Draymond Green, Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard and now Chris Paul, winning an NBA title is so much about just surviving the regular season. Now they want to add a tournament? – 8:35 PM

This brawl discourse is cool and all, but have you read my story on Rudy Gobert and the Utah Jazz? It’s ready for your consumption, right here, right now. Or don’t meet me in the handshake line. (Joke) – theathletic.com/3139246/2022/0…4:01 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
I asked Draymond Green a few questions about new #Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton.
What was his reaction to the trade?
What does he think of Haliburton’s opportunity in Indiana?
What sets Haliburton apart?
“He can go build there and build as Indiana’s own.” #NBAAllStar pic.twitter.com/EiM0YaCx5A9:45 AM
