The NBA hoped to get fans to care about the All Star Game this year and…it seriously backfired. After only 42 minutes of game time during the 3-hour broadcast, fans were left scratching their heads at the new format, the constant stoppages, and Kevin Hart’s (bad) jokes. Blake and Caroline look to the NHL’s 4 Nations for inspiration on how the ballers can make next year better.

In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover:

  • Why the NBA revamped the All-Star game format, and why fans still hated it
  • Wemby and Chris Paul exploiting a loophole in the skills challenge
  • How the list of the top-100 highest paid athletes in 2024 includes zero women
  • Women’s college hoops heating up with No. 7 UCONN’s win over No. 4 USC
  • Our top “Send Its” of the week including Saquon pulling a ball boy into the Eagles parade, Lebron ditching the All Star game to work out with his daughter, and the three-peat winner of the dunk contest
