It's pretty obvious that every year, the effort in the All Star Game seems to decrease but should we even be surprised considering we're living in the load management era of the NBA? While it is certainly not riveting television, I choose to just let it play out and there's usually at least a few things you can take out of the weekend, like Mac McClung's dunk contest performance, Jayson Tatum continuing his ascension, and pretty good halftime show.
Kravitz and I discuss what stood out from the weekend and what's wrong/could be improved with the All Star Game in the podcast clips below.
