Episode Details

The Toronto Raptors are set to take over NBA All-Star Weekend, but is that one of the only good feel good stories going into this weekend? In Episode 2041, Sean Woodley and Katie Heindl talk about Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram, Darko Rajakovic, Collin Murray-Boyles and Alijah Martin all representing the Raptors in the All-Star festivities in LA, and whether we'll see some actually competitive hoop in Sunday's 3-team tournament. Next, they assess Scottie Barnes' odds of winning the Shooting Stars competition, say RIP to the Skills Challenge, and make their picks for the 3-Point Contest and Dunk Contest. Lastly, Sean and Katie discuss the great many existential issues hanging over the league going into the weekend, including owner malfeasance, superstars investing in prediction markets, the scourge of tanking and more. Will Adam Silver get held to account on any of this stuff at his annual league address?
