Oh.
He's had six.
Yeah, so sorry to Jalen Brown.
It wouldn't have affected that, promise.
Okay.
Andrew, our top story this week is that the All-Star Game is good now.
In one of the biggest twists of the season.
The new format for the All-Star game appeared to work.
Ignited by Victor Weminyama's energy in the first game, each of the first three games was close, came down to clutch shots from Scottie Barnes, De'Aaron Fox, and Kawhi Leonard.
In the third game, Kawhi, on an absolute heater, scored 31 in just 12 minutes, and not against typical All-Star defense.
It was legitimately cool and fun.
The final game, now that was a bit of a snoozer, as the old man U.S.
team got run out of the gym by the young guns and All-Star MVP, Anthony Edwards, 47-21.
But all in all, I would say best All-Star game I can remember in a long time, and credit to the league.
for preventing a week's worth of the worst NBA pods imaginable.
You thought endless segments about fixing tanking was bad.
Imagine if they'd been followed up with a segment about fixing the All-Star game.
At least we got some positivity mixed in this week with how fun those games were, which is a big win in my book.
Now, as for All-Star Saturday night.
Well, the three-point contest was fun.
