I'm Wes Goldberg, and today we're talking all things All-Star and we're doing it with the help of lockdown's local

experts i've too the best with me as always from the lockdown nuggets podcast he's a senior

NBA writer for the action network it's matt more matt i almost got shirts made that just said

like hats we're making a little club called kill the all-star game you can us now. I should make a website and we can make some money off of this. Also, shout out to the bucks, two wins in a row going to the All-Starburg. From the Lockdown Bulls podcast, he's a Beers and Bulls creator for Bleach report. It's Hayes. What's going on, everybody? Here we are to talk about all-star content. Yes. It is the Friday before NBA All-Star weekend.

The All-Star game itself is on Sunday.

The league made some changes to the format.

There's going to be two USA teams and a world team competing in a round-robin tournament.

If you could figure out what that means, good for you.

Try to explain it to me.

I still haven't figured it out. But those teams have already been drafted. But we thought, hey, now there's three All-Star teams. There's three of us. Let's redraft the All-Star teams to teams Wes, Matt, and Hayes. So I thought this would be fun. And then to decide who would get the first pick, I asked Chat GPT who it thought the All-Star of Locked on NBA was.

And it said Nick Engstatt. So I asked Nick to choose one of our names at random, and he said, Hayes. So, Hayes, you get the first pick. Now, before we start, I want to clarify from all of the all stars, we are not choosing Steph, Janice, or Shea because they're hurt and we're going to go with their injury replacements instead in terms of our player pool. So, Hayes, you get the first pick, but you're taking first. Okay, so I just want to be clear. I'm taking this in the mindset of if this was actually a competitive game. These players are going to play competitive. of that. Yes, we were trying to draft the best basketball teams in real games that ostensibly matter. So therefore I'm starting off with Deni. No, I'm just playing. I had to trigger Matt. Nicola Yokic, of course, is the first player that I'm picking. Oh, no, but we're trying to have a competitive all-star game. like you've already failed because like you can't pick joker for a competitive all-star game. Like, you've already failed because, like, you can't pick Joker

for a competitive

all-star game.

Like, some guys might be competitive.
