Nets toughman Patti Mills represented the Nets in the All-Star Weekend three-point contest, but Mills did not advance to the finals after scoring 21 points in the first round, but Mills still said his experience in the three-point contest:
"I had a great time there," Mills said of playing in the three-point contest.
Although Mills could not advance to the finals after scoring 21 points, he was able to perform quite well in the three-point competition.
On the other hand, this year's dunk contest has caused a hot discussion in the degree of lack of excitement, and the Nets superstar Kevin Durant also responded to the tweet on social media that Eddie Gonzalez suggested that if Durant participated in this year's dunk contest, he would win the championship:
"That's what I was like after I finished a one-handed dunk," Durant wrote.
It sounds like Durant is not too interested in participating in the dunk contest, but it is undeniable that Durant's dunks in the game do not have a particularly large number of "tricks", and one-handed dunks are also Durant's common dunk methods.
Finally, NBA president Adam Shaw said in an interview that the league will not investigate the trade between the Nets and the 76ers involving James Harden and Ben Simmons:
"I think in this case both teams seem to be happy with the result of the trade."
In simple terms, it is difficult to say that there is a suspicion of illegal recruitment when both parties are satisfied with the results, so it does not make much sense for the alliance to investigate such a win-win deal. Before this year's trade deadline, the Nets sent James Harden to the 76ers and replaced Ben Simmons as a young rising star, in fact, Simmons' defense and organization will be the part that the Nets need, at least compared to Harden, who is dissatisfied with the team, after getting Simmons, the Nets will have a better chance to compete.
