Stephen Curry was named the All-Star Game’s Most Valuable Player, Octagon Basketball tweets. Curry was a member of the victorious Shaq’s OGs squad.
Shaq’s OGs defeated Candace’s Rising Stars 42-35 in the semifinals of the four-team mini-tournament. In the final, they faced Chuck’s Global Stars, who had defeated Kenny’s Young Stars 41-32 in the other semifinal. Shaq’s OGs downed Chuck’s Global Stars, 41-25, for the championship.
Shaq’s squad also featured Kyrie Irving, Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, James Harden and Jaylen Brown. Anthony Davis was originally chosen for the squad but was sidelined by an adductor injury and was replaced by Irving.
LeBron James was also on the team but was a late scratch, as he rested his sore ankle and foot.
The championship-winning players received $125K apiece. Each player on Chuck’s team received $5oK, while all other participants collected $25K.
I didn’t know what to expect, but the newness got me to tune in. It wasn’t perfect, but I was pleasantly surprised, there was more entertainment value in this one than the past few years.
Still no defense played by the all stars
There was some competition in the Young vs OG’s game but I felt like the games were way too short. Also, even though they brought competitiveness, I didnt like seeing random rookies/sophmores at the all star game, I want to see the best of thw best play.
In other news, Draymond Green has promised a title for the warriors. Davey J or Giants?
Sure, why not? What’s wrong with that? Do you really believe he should go on the court and say, “I’m going to lose”. He should retire if he believes that. Do you need some god-like sports writer/commentator telling you how to be obedient and only believe what they say? I guess you only do what Joe Rogan tells you to do?
Just an awful weekend event.
Saw 20 secs of the all star game yesterday. Evan Mobley decided to take a one dribble step back 3 and barely hit rim.
Turned that off immediately and watched the chiefs/eagles and eased my sports soul
Yeah that ultra competitive chiefs eagles game lmao. Thanks for sharing your valuable opinions
Like wise with yours as always
FYI . I didn’t care that the SB was competitive lmao. I just wanted KC to lose, which they did.
