Thunder Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander joins the Pod to talk about All-Star Weekend, how he keeps his body ready for an 82-game NBA season, and we have him guess which of his teammates said certain quotes.

Shai joins Paris Lawson and Nick Gallo as they breakdown the chaotic behind the scenes schedule during the All-Star break. Plus SGA tells them who would throw Chris the perfect oop and why Terrance Ferguson is such an important factor on the defensive end.

After an action packed All-Star Weekend, Nick and Paris talk about their favorite things from the weekend, discuss the second half of the season and how the Thunder can best prepare for the playoffs, and it's Paris's Birthday so we play a game of "Guess the 90s TV Show"!

Paris Lawson and Nick Gallo discuss the recent home games against the Pistons and Celtics. They also talk about the strategy CP3 could use to increase his chances of grabbing the All-Star Game MVP and why Shai might be a sneaky pick to win the Skills Challenge.
