The ALL NBA PodcastMentioned in this episode
Episode Notes
Adam Mares and Tim Legler break down the NBA All-Star race and the biggest storylines shaping the season, starting with Legs’ criteria for All-Star voting and how much team record should matter. They debate potential Eastern Conference All-Stars, including whether Jaylen Brown and Jalen Brunson are locks, the cases for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Donovan Mitchell, and tough bubble decisions like Scottie Barnes versus Brandon Ingram. The conversation shifts to the Western Conference, discussing locks and stars like Victor Wembanyama, Luka Dončić, Anthony Edwards, and Stephen Curry, why Curry gets the nod over Kevin Durant, and which players are still fighting for bubble spots. The episode also covers recent games and trends around the league, including the Bucks’ lack of edge, the Rockets’ win over the Bulls, Jabari Smith’s offensive upside, the Thunder’s blowout of the Spurs and their growing rivalry, the Suns’ loss to the Heat, and the Nuggets’ win highlighted by Peyton Watson’s impact.
