Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game/mini tournament was marginally better than last year’s monstrosity of disinterest. A few guys (Wemby!) played defense. A kid won $100,000. But there are still big problems that need to be resolved going forward. In @TheAthletic:

Sunday’s NBA All-Star game brought out still more machinations to make it more compelling and competitive. And Victor Wembanyama and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander brought some juice. But was the four-team format “better?” Maybe. A little. In @TheAthletic: bit.ly/3CJePnb – 7:00 AM

I will say, I have never seen players deterred from the rim during an All-Star Game and Wemby just being on the floor did that. – 8:58 PM

Shoutout to Wemby.
Defense in the All Star Game. What a concept.
They never needed all of this gimmicky stuff. They just needed guys to try. It has always been a simple fix. – 8:51 PM

More on this storyline
“Yeah, actually, I talked to Victor (Wembanyama) the All-Star weekend,” Risacher said. “He was telling me that it was important to see other stuff as much as possible during the break, so getting away was a good way to do it -via Atlanta Journal-Constitution / February 19, 2025
“I’m in much better shape this year than I was last year,” Wembanyama said after the game. “My body is much more adaptive to this rhythm. My biggest takeaway is it’s possible to give 100% on that court, to play hard, to play your ass off. For me, it’s the only way to play basketball.” -via ESPN / February 18, 2025
Ultimately, he didn’t win MVP of Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game. Stephen Curry earned that honor. But the first-time All-Star still had a successful work trip. “I’ll try to cool down and forget a little bit about basketball for 48 hours, that’s it,” he said Sunday night. “I’ll put this on my résumé. It’s done. I didn’t make any friends. But I learned a lot. I asked a lot of questions, and I got a lot of very interesting answers. It was a pleasure to share the floor with these experienced players. ” -via ESPN / February 18, 2025
