All Star Weekend concluded from Salt Lake City tonight with Giannis taking home his first dub as a captain in the drafting era... Was this weekend another let down, and why/ what can be done to bring the spark back to a weekend that once felt so nostalgic? 

They said LBJ is pass first but he just passed first!!! Is Bron the greatest scorer ever or just the most.. & What does that argument say about M....nvm.

Marc, Ques and Will select 8 players for an all-time fantasy draft - the catch being, once a random letter of the alphabet is drawn, select your player of choice based on the letter drawn (first or last name) according to position (PG, SF, C) afterwards the letter is removed as well as the player.
