One of the most enjoyable moments for NBA fans in the world in general and in the USA in particular took place tonight (between Sunday and Monday) in Utah when we got the All-Star game between LeBron's team and Giannis' team, a game that ended with the victory of the Greek Freak and his friends who chose the colorful draft at the beginning of the evening.
The Greek who played very little time due to an injury saw his friends defeat the "king" 175:184 when the one who stole the show was Jayson Tatum - the star of the Boston Celtics - who ended the evening with an All-Star points record when he scored 55 points and smashed Anthony's previous record Davis from the 2017 All-Star Game.

Although at regular intervals they try to maintain good energy around the game, there were also those who did not really like the style of play without defenses, when the coach of LeBron's team - Mike Malone, who harshly criticized and said after the game: "It is an honor to be here and an honor to be part of a great weekend with Great players," said the Denver Nuggets coach, "but it was the worst basketball game in history.
I don't know if it can be fixed.
Joel Embiid tried to encourage some of the players to play harder, at least no one was injured and the players provided a show for the crowd."
Kendrick Perkins, the former player, responded to Mellon's criticism and said on air: "He's just a 'heater' because it was a crazy fun game."
The most senior representative among Denver's players was, of course, Nikola Jokic, who played a total of 20 minutes and finished with only 4 points. Jokic was asked if he was surprised that he was chosen by LeBron James in the penultimate place among the five players and provided a typical and pose-free answer .
"I wouldn't choose myself in the All-Star draft either. I'm not built for this game."
"I would not draft myself either."
