NBA's All-Star weekend is here! We predict who will take home the All-Star Game MVP and discuss which events are must-see. Will the 3-Point Contest, Skills Challenge, or Dunk Contest steal the spotlight? Plus, the Rising Stars game brings its own drama—who should fans keep an eye on?

We also discuss the standout performances we expect from 2025 All-Stars like LeBron James, Victor Wembanyama, Anthony Edwards, and Stephen Curry, and whether Jayson Tatum's MVP push can keep the Celtics on top. We dive into the Celtics' 116-103 win over the Spurs, including our first impressions of Torrey Craig in green and the key takeaways that could shape Boston’s playoff journey.

Then, it’s time for Wicked Or Kick It, where we judge the NBA’s freshest fits. Does Torrey Craig, Alperen Sengun, or Brandon Ingram’s style get the stamp of approval, or are they getting kicked to the curb?

Special guest Mitch Lawrence from Sirius XM NBA Radio joins the show for an in-depth discussion on the chaotic trade deadline, the Mavericks’ Luka Doncic trade, and whether the Western Conference stands a chance against the Celtics in a playoff series. Mitch also weighs in on the Celtics' quest for Banner #19 and compares this team to past NBA dynasties—are they the next Warriors?

And don’t miss the latest NBA news, including Markelle Fultz’s signing with the Kings. Tune in for all the hot takes, insights, and a little style critique, only on Hold My Banner with Travis Thomas and Ountae Campbell!
