All-Star Preview, LeBron and Steph? Scottie Frustrated & more
Host Cathryn Naiker is joined by NBA Writer Oren Weisfeld to congratulate him on announcing his first book about the growth of men's basketball in Canada! Then they discuss the big story this week about the Warriors trying to get LeBron James. We analyze what we see as a publicity move from both sides. Then All-Star Weekend is upon us! We talk about the main events and pick our winners for the slam dunk contest, and 3-point shoot-out. Steph vs Sabrina and All-Star MVP. Then we look at the remainder of the season and make bold predictions Is Trae Young going to ask out of Atlanta? Will Miami make the Eastern Conference finals again? and more! Then in our Raptors homer moment, we talk about Scottie Barnes leaving the bench before the game was over and the contradicting statements the following day. What does it all mean? Is Scottie ready to be a leader? and what does he need at this point in his career? Then we talk about Pascal Siakam's return to Toronto. What it was like in the stadium and the Jersey's planted in section 119 to honour him. In our Hottie Highlight of the week, it goes to the 905 for their very cool Black History Month jersey.
