One of my favorite parts of the All Star game is figuring out who the players are going to encourage to be All Star MVP. Seems like early in the second half that becomes apparent.

A hilarious write-up...I enjoy the 3 point shooting contest and the skills challenge. I could care less about Friday's festivities and the game on Sunday anymore. I stopped caring about the slam dunk content many years ago.

Tom, the Wizards have a 4.5 net efficiency rating since Delon Wright came back. Please remind me that I will never have nice things as a Wizards fan so I can stop having this information poison my brain.

I believe Starry is just rebranded Sierra Mist fwiw (nothing). If that's even the 3 point sponsor.

The Celebrity Game bugs me because they always use a slick, bouncy ball, leading to a lot of missed shots with wild caroms.

Missed dunks have ruined the dunk contest. Even just one miss takes away all the suspense of a given dunk. I'm not really sure what the fix is, though. Thinking back to 2016, it wasn't just that Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine threw down some beautiful jams; it was that they made almost all of them on their first attempts.
