nba all-star

There are good things with the NBA All-Star Weekend: The 3-point Contest, this year the Dunk Contest and Mac McClung, and the many NBA-themed events that come up around it such as a Basketball Without Borders event, clinics and events with the youth of Salt Lake City, the Legends Breakfast and much more. But the actual All-Star Game itself is unwatchable. 

Corey Robinson and Kurt Helin of NBC Sports dive into the weekend and discuss if anything can be done to fix it. From there the topic turns to the Atlanta Hawks firing Nate McMillan and their coaching search. If McMillan was a scapegoat for bigger problems, will a new coach fix them? 

Then they dive into the buyout market and the moves of Kevin Love to the Heat and Russell Westbrook to the Clippers. Mixed in with that is Corey's Jukebox music and NBA connections, plus a quick look ahead at the final quarter of the season.

The NBA crew discusses a variety of topics prior to the regular season resuming after the break.  They are joined by Clayton Conover, who was at the NBA All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City.  Clayton, an occasional Hoops Prospects contributor and a full-time scout/analyst for Prep Hoops in the Colorado region, represented HP at the Basketball Without Borders Global Camp at the Utah Jazz training facility.

CHAPTERS:

1. (2:48) — Mac McClung wins the dunk contest, becoming the first Sixer to do so. How will he pan out on the team?
2. (9:38) — Jayson Tatum scores 55 points, breaking an All-Star record. He also won MVP.  Is this a sign that he will win the regular-season MVP? 
3. (13:53) — The NBA scoring explosion — what the Hell is going on around here?
4. (24:34) — Basketball Without Borders Global Camp — the event featured 40 top international prospects from 27 different countries.  The high-school-age campers participated in a variety of activities, including anthropometric and athletic testing, movement efficiency, skill development, shooting and skills competitions, life skills seminars, and 5-on-5 games.
5. (42:30) — Is the NBA heading toward a lockout?
6. (50:02) — Should the draft eligibility rule change?

The NBA is still reverberating from the shockwaves of the NBA trade deadline, and specifically the blockbuster that sent Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets to the Phoenix Suns. Does this make the Suns contenders? Favorites to come out of the West? What do they need to do to prove they belong on that level? Corey Robinson and Kurt Helin of NBC Sports dive into all of that, plus where the Nets go from here. On this week's Corey's Jukebox segment it's more Suns talk, with a little Britney Spears thrown in, and a nod to the Jazz. Then the duo discusses All-Star Saturday night and what to look for in the Skills Competition, the 3-Point Contest, and the Dunk Contest. Finally, they end with a little Super Bowl halftime talk (and avoid the end-of-the-game talk). 

On this edition of The Blazers Balcony podcast, Brooke Olzendam and Casey Holdahl discuss...

• Brooke getting her first nosebleed in years

• Thoughts on upcoming trade deadline and the timeline the Trail Blazers seem to be on

• Some disappointing All-Star Saturday Night news

• And update on Brooke's yearly "Heart Your Heart" fundraiser benefiting the National Heart Association

Rui Hachimura is a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, which is a win for the Lakers front office — "Look! We're doing something!" — but how much of a win was that for the Lakers? Does it change much of anything for them on the court? Corey Robinson and Kurt Helin of NBC Sports discuss that, then talk about the Orlando Magic and the return of Jonathan Isaac to the floor. Corey's Jukebox ties together the Magic and the Phantom of the Opera, and from there the duo get into Kurt's selections for the NBA All-Star Game, both starters and reserves. Plus, who would you want to star as if you were in a movie?
