Show Notes
In what is seemingly a growing trend for the NBA, All Star Weekend (historically known for showcasing it's top talent) has grown stale not only with the casual fan, but the revival hopefuls like ourselves. What felt like an idea ripped straight out of this podcast's wish list was overwhelmingly viewed as an absolute dud. From a dearth in competitiveness by it's participants, to a drastic decline in star power for the Dunk Contest, as well as a lack of participation for the weekend's seemingly Star-Studded Finale (yes we're talking to you self-proclaimed GOAT) it was a weekend to forget for the NBA and it's fans.
How do the fellas from this podcast think the NBA can fix it's All-Flop Weekend? (Spoiler Alert) They don't. While hopeful for a change in the NBA Elite's mindset for future events, after a decade of lackluster All-Star showings and a seemingly growing disregard for the significance of the weekend, the annual Rising Stars Challenge has all but cemented that the future is NOT bright in that regard.
All of this to say, we did not enjoy this weekend's festivities outside of a fantastic showing from Mac McClung (yes the guy who is currently fighting for his spot on an NBA roster), and we only have one question:
Is it NFL season yet? Lol
Until next time,
