About this episode

The 2025 NBA All-Star Game introduced a brand-new format, but did it deliver? Steph Curry took home All-Star MVP as Shaq’s veteran squad won the first-ever All-Star tournament, but reactions were mixed. Amin and Izzy break down what worked, what flopped, and the impact of LeBron James and Anthony Edwards sitting out last-minute. They also discuss Mac McClung’s historic dunk contest three-peat and Draymond Green’s criticism of the format—plus, NBA legend Oscar Robertson’s response. Plus, we react to Kyrie Irving's response to Juju Gotti's question at media day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
