Mike Smith and Michael Holley discuss the NBA All-Star Game, if it should be accepted for what it is, ways it can be improved. Steph Curry and Sabrina Ionescu’s 3-point contest stole the show so how can we see more NBA/WNBA collabs? Holley and Smith react to LeBron saying he may not want a farewell tour.

Acaba el All-Star y nuestro nombre más destacado es Larry Bird. Así de mal está la cosa. Doc Rivers pega otra lección de vestuario. Este fin de semana debería ser uno de los grandes momentos del año para la NBA, y ni de cerca. Lo de Anthony Edwards y compañía es bochornoso. Y pese a todo, acaban teniendo una de las mejores audiencias de la temporada. Adam Silver lucha contra un imposible. ¿Qué ha significado el All-Star en otras épocas? ¿La solución solo pasa por un tema económico o hay alguna motivación deportiva? ¿Probar más inventos ayuda o se carga la tradición? El concurso de triples fue muy bueno, el de mates no estuvo mal y el de habilidades es insostenible. Sabrina Ionescu y Stephen Curry consiguieron formar una competición memorable. En resumen, la NBA está en rotunda bonanza y LeBron sigue siendo el mejor estratega. 

Awesome for @nbaallstar weekend.  @sabrina_i says she will shoot from the #nba three point line vs @stephencurry30 more exciting than the actual game.  But she’s actually going with @wnba ball & 3pt line.  I don’t think she needs that stuff.  The woman has range.  
@nyknicks 8 straight wins and jumped into third place in the East @companyadjace @robparker1980 is ecstatic. 
Let me get this straight #bensimmons first game since November 6th plays well and now questionable with knee contusion for @brooklynnets hosting @suns tonight. @unc_basketball loses to a  @gtmensbasketball last night who had lost eight of previous nine?  @bwmciver agrees with me no need for time out before final play. 9-17 from charity stripe isn’t cutting it and @dukembb on Saturday.  Get it together guys. 
Between #taylorswift & #brockpurdy a lot of judging going on right now.  Mr. Irrelevant is in season two and playing in #sblviii & Taylor loves her guy.  Slow your roll folks.  
Love @detroitlionsnfl #benjohnson coming back to the team in 2024.  Unfinished business. 
#jerryjones says @dallascowboys all in next season. @daniel_orbe23 is there an echo in the room?  
After reading @theathletichq article on @nyjets shows how much a mess this #nfl season truly was and not sure things are going to improve next season. #nathanielhackett just embarrassing & they better win in 2024 or fans are going to be livid.  @call_me_company_prez @joewillie62 @jaymahanti & @ateegz know what I’m talking about.  
I agree with @vol_sports #ncaa handling of #nil has been a total failure.
