Jayson Tatum dropped 55 on his way to the All-Star game MVP, Jaylen Brown scored 35 to lead Team LeBron, but it was Joe Mazzulla who really scored big points in Salt Lake City. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal explains that, and then is joined by ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins to discuss the Celtics and his own career, which is all part of his new book, “The Education of Kendrick Perkins”

Hey John , earlier in the season you had said if jaylen makes all nba that he would get paid top dollar, is that true?
The Jay's are awesome and many feel good moments!
JT should give JB his Kia 🤣
Or, to further John's comment about not winning that ring w/o Perk, is that we saw what LOSING him for just one QUARTER did in 2010….
Impressive performances from the Jays! Loved the chat with Perk but boy the sound from his end was bad…
That must be a hell of a great book!!!
Great game Mr. Tatum..the ((((""""ALL. STAR. AMONGST ALL ALL. STARS""")))).
I actually thought brown played a better all around game..n he looked very strong. Did anyone see the interview???
With Jason tatum. It was one of his All star. Interviews. He was talking about..how…((((""""" ima.."""" udoka"""))).
Was his favorite coach. So I guess its not mazzula… great show john…as usual…
Both Brown and Tatum were sensational. Appreciate the Podcast @John Loved you and Perk interaction and hearing more about his story. Was a amazing watch and listen, thank you 🙂
Big ups to you John
All Star Game is a joke
I'm upset that I didn't get to watch it (I think the league should make something like the All Star game a little more easily accessible) but I'm happy as a Celtics fan that the game went how it did. It's funny how well this team keeps playing and how bright JT and JB shine but the media still won't give Boston their respect, they'd rather talk about teams that might miss the play in lol
Now THAT…was awesome. Those moments when JT and JB went head-to-head were so special! I cannot remember a cooler Celtics All-Star moment in recent history. Who’s going to see John & Perk on Tuesday?! 🙋🏻♂️ 🙏🏻☘️
I loved watching the Jays shine and seeing all of the salt from other fans complaining about it.
Velvet-a 🤣 it’s true good comparison.
All star game was trash after a few ok games the last few szns thought it was trending upwards cuz atleast later in the game defense was played but this one my goodness.. the jays going back and forth was the best part of it and they both balled out especially JT on that MVP but the one that counts is the later 2.. now let’s carry out the rest of the szn with the Celtics playing their best basketball
Brining my son to Indianapolis on Thursday! Loved watching this fun game but what was impressive was seeing Tatum need to score and getting it done. Sometimes when you want something SO bad you try too hard…JT did try hard and he rolled! Love it
Great interview with Perk! Not sure why I had an advertisement in Spanish, though.
JB playing was a good thing.
Gets used to the mask in a soft match & got to test himself a bit on Tatum.
Perk is great in a format like this. I like him more here than when he’s on the debate shows.
It was a boring ALL STAR GAME as usual for the past decade 😐 I ended up watching (Star Trek) episodes the rest of the night 🤩.. That game was weak and uncompetitive no one came to battle it was all a too boring.. I remember when East & West was actually a Superstar level Competition the whole 4 quarters now I don’t know what the heck these players are ever playing in all star games just to walk up and down the court doing super weak dunks.. Like he just said they play like kids in the all star games nowadays it’s not really worth my time watching for the past decade 😕
Rework this Episodes intro to include Jaylen …..🙄🤦🏾♂️😏
Kobe Bryant trophy 🏆 back to Boston great allstar weekend now banner 18 ☘️☘️
That was the appetizer Celtics Nation. The Jays have complete the mission and win the Finals.
Perk out here dropping knowledge on what it takes to be a pro in the NBA.
Big perk!
Best part of the game was the two Jays going head to head. They were having fun with it and we enjoyed watching them. #bleedgreen
This game is guaranteed fun, even the defense they play. Playoffs are fun sometimes, but its a different type of fun if your team is winning. There's stakes at play.
If not for Jaylen, Jayson would have dropped 60
Thanks for all you do John! Great show and great to see Perk on there with you
I disagree. The NBA is here for the fans. That's it
Sorry to be a grouch but That game SUCKED. I love the Celtics and have respect for JT but the single worst aspect of his game is the lazy jacking up of threes ( he's not the only one ). I was hoping he would do so bad in the three point contest that he would decide to give that sh*t a rest and he DID do pretty badly ( though Julius Randle was worse) but not bad enough and now just because he got hot for a quarter in a game that had less defense than a shoot around- I was like "oh no please don't encourage him " but too late now thanks NBA All Star Garbage game and coach Mazzula for more encouragement of Jason's worst instincts. The only reason JT averages even mid 30's on threes or whatever it is, is because in one game out of 4 or 5 he hits 60% – in the others he hits well under 30. JT your not Steph or Klay or Dame, your Jason Tatum and you are GREAT when you attack the hoop or put your guy in the blender somewhere in the midrange. And you got all kinds of other game too. Love JT don't get me wrong, but NOT impressed by his long range game- wish he would be more like Kevin Durant and mix in more midrange. Happy w how he's attacking the hoop thos season though
What a cringe ..
Yes, The JAYs matchup was the best part of the ASG for me deserve the MVP! Now he better go get the 2023FMVP!
Yes, Perk be the Man that your Children NEED to SEE!!!!
Since following the NBA; I stopped caring about the All-Star game from season 3.
Your points are 100% valid John, but man even just watching the highlights its painfully boring and pointless. If they're not going to play defense, if its for them, if we don't want to see anyone injured or hurt and if it DOESN'T COUNT … Why does it exist?
Change it, get rid of it, its so pointless. Name the All-Stars and get people to vote – they deserve that recognition. But remove the game. I love Tatum, but it seems whoever gets selected to coach the team has full control over who gets the MVP (which also, has become completely meaningless).
Rant over, Tatum vs. Brown was nice though.
You know , I don’t think Tatums 3 point shooting has regressed so much skill wise … I think when we look at the overall growth of his game .. he’s just putting a little more focus & energy into different parts of his repertoire… I think when it matters most . The 3 is there 💯
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today..
