AROUND the NBA:

[SleepingHero]

The all star game is not my thing.  It used to be, but I think I have aged out of it.  I did turn it on at the start of the final.  There was some entertaining play.  Not playing super hard, but it was entertaining and a little compettive.  The whole Kevin Hart/TNT thing after coming back from a timeout in a 11-1 game was just terrible though.  That deserves the mockery that it is getting.  Also, having Kevin Hart rip the all stars on an open mic is an interesting decision. 

Bad look with Lebron and Anthony Edwards bowing out too.  Health is key, but Lebron probably knew he wasn't going to play when he arrived.  Edwards probably had too much fun on one of the nights.    For Lebron, they should have had a replacement.  For Edwards, he should know that as one of the faces of the league he needs to go a little less hard in the evenings.

There was no All-Star game yesterday.

It was a bunch of unfunny skits sandwiched between long ad breaks with MAYBE some basketball sprinkled in.
