Noah Coslov and Adam Stanco give their unique take on why the new All-Star Game format was impactful, but have suggestions to improve the game even more. Plus, they reject the screen and take issue with Kawhi Leonard not answering an All-Star Game Media Day question. Noah reveals some fascinating stories of pitch meetings from Knicks' marketing guru Steve Stoute (a Saturday Night Live one for Kawhi and a Wu-Tang Clan one for Kevin Durant). Adam tells the story of why an agent had a great pitch that he didn't get the chance to give to Dwight Howard. They also break down the race for the 8th seed in the Western Conference, especially because Zion Williamson and the Pelicans have a favorable schedule down the stretch. Noah talks about his experience calling the Pacific-Saint Mary's game, while Adam's NBA Draft matchup to watch takes place on Sunday as Seton Hall's Myles Powell against Mustapha Herron of St. John's.
