The NBA All-Star game might actually be my least favorite of all the All-Star games BUT I love the Slam-Dunk Contest. I get that the All-Star game is nothing more than an exhibition but it's just so far from what I like about the NBA while still kinda looking like a game. Meanwhile, the Skills Challenge and the Dunk Contest are clear and pure exhibitions. It's all about the fun and exciting facets of the game. So when I see how badly last night's was screwed up it sucks. Knicks Rookie Obi Toppin should have won that contest!

Any New York Knicks fan will tell you that we've been waiting A LONG TIME to feel good feelings about our favorite NBA team. So even though we know this isn't a team that's going to be playing for the NBA title any time soon, I'm pretty pumped they're winning games. Not only are the Knicks winning the games they're supposed to win, they're crushing bad teams so bad coaches are throwing temper tantrums on the court.

It's been almost a month since the last time we had Newsday's Steve Popper on the show. In that time the Knicks have gone 7-4 and Julius Randle has become a real candidate to start in the NBA All-Star Game on March 7th. Popper seemed less than optimistic at that point about the Knicks talent both now and in the near future. Have the Knicks and more directly Forward Julius Randle showed enough in the last few weeks to change Popper's opinion of them?

As many of us not so patiently wait to return to live sporting events it might be time to start saving. On a list of the "Most Expensive Stadiums For Sports Fans," the average trip to a game for the "Big Four" of NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA could run you an average of anywhere from $67 to $157.

The former NBA MVP is coming to New York

Many sports fans are trying to figure out when they'll be allowed to return stadiums and others are trying to figure when they'll want to return. The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr Anthony Fauci shared his thoughts on that timeline in an interview with Yahoo Sports and the good news is sports fans could achieve "normalcy" in time for the 2021 NFL season.

Could Kevin Huerter have company in the NBA with this Section 2 product?

When "Space Jam: A New Legacy" comes out sometime in the middle of 2021 LeBron James will be in the familiar role of being compared to Michael Jordan. Jordan and the Looney Tune crew defeated the Monstars way back in 1996 in the iconic original "Space Jam" movie. Now it's LeBron's turn and after waiting what I'm sure feels like forever we have a first look at the new 'Tune Squads' uniform.

I think it's fair to say that the NBA bubble has been a success. With the playoff pool set (with the exception of this weekend's play-in games) here's a preview of the schedule of the first round of the NBA playoffs with predictions.

The NBA restart has been pretty eventful so far. Storylines revolving around everything from a subpar menu, to players breaking quarantine to some players actually making the most of their trip to Disney World to compete for an NBA title. The best part is we're getting all this information and reporters like the AP's Tim Reynolds haven't even been let out of their rooms yet. Reynolds joins Levack and Goz from "The Bubble" to give the truly "inside" scoop.

The NBA is attempting to play their season to a conclusion in a "Bubble" at Disney World in Orlando Florida. Obviously the players are making a sacrifice by subjecting themselves to isolation for approximately 100 days but the amount of crying coming from some of the NBA athletes, Los Angeles Lakers' JR Smith especially is a little ridiculous.
