The NBA All-Star game really doesn’t mean all that much, and while it’s fun, it’s also sort of a bon-bon. It’s basically a chance for guys to get their offensive freak on because no one is going to play defense unless it’s going to get them on Sports Center.
Even so.
When you consider the brilliant offensive talents that have cycled through the NBA All-Star game - Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and Charles Barkley for starters - it’s amazing that former Blue Devil Jayson Tatum has outdone all of them.
