Should have had a tie breaker both 2-1

Run it back next year! Ant, Wemby, and Kawhi 🍿 the young players and Kawhi set the tone!

Antman won all star mvp with ZERO FREE THROW ATTEMPTS. Ethical hoops up there in Minnesota
@mazengwe28
February 16, 2026 at 6:58 pm
We all know Kawhi Leonard was the real MVP. People were telling Antman they didn’t even vote for him.

Oh please, “Beat the World” and yet Giannis, Jokic and Shai didn’t play 😂😂😂
@andrewcortez3353
February 16, 2026 at 2:49 pm
JOkic played and ducked the smoke … and even if giannnis and Shai play the USA teams have too much depth
@belakthrillby
February 16, 2026 at 2:49 pm
Joker didnt want to play
@andrewcortez3353

@bel@belakthrillby that’s his issue for not having a competitive mentality while the leagues best players are going at it

Well Luka woulda made a big difference..
@realamerican8069
February 16, 2026 at 3:27 pm
It would’ve been worse.. Luka needs the ball.. Wemby was the better choice to have the ball in his hands.

Even when wemby JOkic and Luka were on the floor together they were down 1 when they left the floor 😂 to the backup USA team….
@im_here_to_argue
February 16, 2026 at 6:44 pm
Because even when they were in the floor Wemby was alone

I understand the Olympics are going on but man, the NBA All-Star events can’t even get a prime time slot? It feels like only 7-8 years ago the All-Star game was a huge event and everyone was talking about it. Now they’re changing formats every year to desperately try and draw some interest. I don’t know if it’s my nostalgia for the 2010s but the NBA just doesn’t feel the same

The USA had no Steph or Tatum or Embid.. no excuses!
@Metricfeet
February 16, 2026 at 3:39 pm
Embiid had two other citizenships before he became American 😭 Wemby was the only international star that played and they not representing their country why would they even care lol
@realamerican8069
February 16, 2026 at 3:30 pm
Luka couldn’t defend any player out there 😂
@zockey99
February 16, 2026 at 3:39 pm
is this a joke? Luka and jokic played 5 mins. Shai and Giannis sat out. They were up against murry/kat/siakam/powell/deni who are barely all-stars🤣🤣🤣🤣
older US players curry did not play and lebron is 41 and KD is 38 🤣🤣🤣
