About the episode

Austin and Pausha are back ahead of All-Star Weekend to break down their thoughts on how to fix the game. But first, they revisit the end of the Warriors’ honeymoon phase and the Lakers’ play with Luka (7:36). Then, they briefly discuss Brunson and KAT’s dynamic and share who they believe the best “Robins” are to their teams’ “Batmans” (16:18).

Then, they jump right into All-Star Game talk and discuss how it compares to the Hoop Summit and McDonald’s Game (24:12). Austin then addresses the responsibility that young stars like Anthony Edwards, SGA, and Wemby have to make the game both competitive and electric (27:35).

Later, they give KD his flowers and talk through his legacy after he hit the 30,000-point milestone (43:51).
