00:00How about KD going out and saying, well, the Euros are ruining the all-star game.
00:06I mean, Joker and Luka don't care about it.
00:09I'm sorry, but Rowan, I think this thing's been on a flamethrower for about 15 years.
00:14I mean, would you make KD's comments towards those two guys?
00:19Yeah, I mean, at this point in his career, I just feel like KD is just salty about everything.
00:23I mean, you know, he's the first guy to fire back when fans give him the slightest bit of criticism.
00:29He's the first one to throw criticism at everybody else around the league.
00:32And really, when it comes down to it, it's like this game hasn't meant much in years.
00:36So it's tough to fault these guys for not coming out and trying to keep their bodies preserved,
00:42trying to get themselves ready for a stretch run and maybe a championship-caliber run
00:48because those guys have been dealing with injuries.
00:50So yeah, you can't really fault them for not wanting to play
00:53when they might be getting a really valuable rest period here.
00:56At the same time, there's got to be something to increase the stakes here.
00:59I mean, I don't know if something would work like maybe what they've done in other sports
01:03where whoever sent it back to East versus West,
01:06but maybe whoever wins gets home court advantage in the finals.
01:08Just something to give their some sort of incentive to play, right?
01:12Are there any props worth betting in this thing on Sunday?
01:17I mean, do you see some things that people can put some ducks down on for Sunday?
01:23You know, the only one I would really consider,
01:26if we're looking at the actual All-Star game with the three teams,
01:29I think the World Team probably has the best bet.
01:31You know, the U.S. Stripes team is an old boys team.
01:34LeBron, Kawhi, KD.
01:36I don't know how motivated they're going to be in this one.
01:39USA Stars team looks highly motivated.
01:41A lot of young guys, but they don't have any size,
01:44and the World Team has so much more talented big.
01:47So, like the U.S. World Team, I also like Team Knicks in the Shooting Stars contest.
01:53They are the chalkiest one, but you're still getting them at plus 170.
01:56Allen Houston is probably the best shooting of the old guys there.
02:00And then you've got Brunson and Towns.
02:01You can shoot lights out, too.
02:03Every other team in that contest has at least one or two weak shooting players.
02:06So, I think the Knicks, you know, plus 170 is a lot of value
02:10considering they should easily win that one.
02:11So, I think the Knicks are the best.
