The NBA All-Star Game happens Sunday at 2 p.m. PST.
The optics around All-Star weekend seem to be a mess right now, with questions swirling about tanking (hey, leave the Sacramento Kings out of this, alright?), the timing of the activities, how the dunk contest sucks now, if the format of the All Star game makes sense, and on and on.
To read up on NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s comments on everything, including potential expansion, click here. Silver admitted that tanking feels worse this season.
“There is talk about every possible remedy now to stop this behavior,” he said.
Sacramento has no representation whatsoever at the game. Unless you want to include a classic behind-the-back fake pass from the legend Jason Williams, and a pretty funny moment between former King DeMarcus Cousins and Nikola Jokic.

Let’s talk about it in the comments.
