Miami Heat Guard Norman Powell Has Quiet All Star Game Debut, But New Format Was Pretty Fun
Tobin recaps the new All Star Game format which was pretty fun for 3 games then the last one was a stinker. Wemby brough all the juice and got things rolling but once he was out the last game between both USA teams was a stinker. Norman Powell misses tough game winner in opener and gets going late in 2nd World defeat. Mike Biamote rocks the All Star mic. Kevin Durant burnergate takes center stage on All Star night. Anthony Edwards wins MVP and Kawhi went crazy.

We suck as a team and organization
Heat player winning the dunk contest might be the highlight of our season 🤷🏽♂️
Hopefully Brickola Jovic spent the All-Star break getting laser eye surgery so he can see the rim again 👀
Cade did too was playing defense every game 🎉 was cool to see Wemby , Duran, Ant etc trying
Lmao 😂KD just wanted the “euros” out , he was way too distracted to play, let’s be honest.
Was only good because Wemby encouraged hard play
All Star games from previous eras were more intense and competitive than modern day regular season NBA games
I think they should put two All Star teams together consisting of the USA vs the World and play one 4 quarter game for money and you will see the best out of the stars because they would have incentives to play hard all the way through the game. Just make it similar to the inseason tournament finals.
Felt weird because the “old heads” of USA won 2 games & the “young guns” won 2 games. So felt like really just USA won & World got shutout
the first 3 games were actually pretty good stuff. Wemby AE Cade Scotty Barnes Kawhi all played like they gave af
The format was solid, but Bron, KD, Khawi and the rest them really needed a true break before that last game. I honestly feel like if they had a real "HALFTIME SHOW" or even a longer pause, Game 4 would’ve been way more competitive. Fatigue was clearly a factor. And shoutout to the Detroit head coach for riding with Bron and the vets after three straight games, but at some point you’ve got to recognize exhaustion. The young guys could’ve started that last stretch so the OGs would be fresh down the stretch. That felt like common sense.
Adam Silver, come on now… smh.
Had oppurtunity for great moments i liked it🎉
Lebron messed it up for Kawhi…. i know its an allstar game but damn Bron plays 0 defense…
Kawhi Leonard showed Wemby that he ain't nothing
No man, this was terrible, the whole production is not what it used to be, I know I’m not alone on an island on this one, this was pathetic, all three days, even if you wanted to say today was ok, which is wasn’t, the other two days were absolutely terrible, I tried getting into it but I couldn’t, so many things are wrong with the entire production, from production values themselves to the actual players that participate in the events, nothing exciting about this entire weekend, they need to stop this sad version of the Allstar game, Allstar weekend used to be so extinct and entertaining, close to a Super Bowl feeling for sure but now it feels like we don’t even need to have this at all #stopnbaallstargame #nomorenbaallstar #nbaallstarweekendsucks
Norm is not a real all star let’s be real
Tobin, learn your place, laws and geography!!. You sounded very ignorant. There is a thing called double nationality. Both Norman and Kat were born in USA but they are also legally (what matters) are from Jamaica and Dominican Republic respectability. They have CITIZENSHIP by blood. Uis Sanguinis, a law MOST OF THE WOLRD HAS. A law even your own President wants to implement. The world does not revolve around the USA dumb laws which incentivize people traveling and crossing your borders/take flights, legal or otherwise to the USA so they can give birth inside and gain nationality even though they don't know anything about the country.

I think Miami should try to get Kawhi Leonard. He would be much cheaper than Giannis and he is one of few players that can perform well in the playoffs. As long as the team keeps load manages him through the season.
