• What the NBA needs to change after underwhelming 2025 All-Star Weekend

  Will and Alex go live from San Francisco to break down what the NBA needs to change after a thoroughly underwhelming 2025 All-Star Weekend. They explain that the entire All-Star Weekend process is not focused on basketball, and that there are simply too many distractions to make the actual game and events meaningful. They also offer changes that they want to see in future All-Star Weekends, and then take you behind the scenes of what it's like to be at an invite-only NBA party.Reach out to the show by leaving a voicemail at hellowelcome.show or email the guys [email protected] out our merch!
