Episode notes
All-Star Format Lacks Real Meaning
- The NBA's new three-team, short-game All-Star format made the event more watchable but still lacks meaningful competition.
- Tony Kornheiser argues a true U.S. vs. World 48-minute game would be more meaningful than musical-chair short games.
Kawhi's Short Burst Of Dominance
- Kawhi Leonard scored 31 points in a 12-minute All-Star segment after being added as a late replacement.
- Kornheiser and Wilbon highlighted Kawhi's burst but noted he was exhausted afterward and didn't impact the next game much.
Danger Is Central To Winter Olympics Appeal
- The Winter Olympics' appeal stems largely from high physical danger in events like skeleton and skiing.
- Tony Kornheiser says this ever-present risk makes the Winter Games uniquely compelling compared with the Summer Olympics.
