The narrative of Tyler Herro after winning the 3 Point Contest.

It's show #200!!! And Rob and Jenners are joined by the ENTIRE Spectrum Sportsnet Los Angeles crew - including the Hall of Famer Big Game James Worthy, LA Times writer Broderick Turner, and studio hosts Allie Clifton, Mike Bresnahan and Chris Geeter McGee - all at the same time! Rob did not make the list of Hall of Fame Finalists this year, so we start by asking James Worthy about what it was like when he got the call - and he jokes that he didn't make it until his third try and the first two let downs really upset him. Then we get into the mess that was the 2025 NBA All-Star Game, as James and BT feel like it would just be better to go back to the original East-West format and play for either pride or home court advantage. Allie Clifton weighs in (from the parking lot at Spectrum, as she's gotta work tonight) as does producer and host Mike Bresnahan. We also get Chris McGee joining the conversation as we break down Mac McClung winning his third dunk title, what it would take to fix the dunk contest, and what everyone wants to see during All-Star Weekend in the future. We of course have to speak to the Lakers of it all, since we are joined by the entire Lakers TV crew - and everyone has mixed opinions about the Mark Williams failed trade and LeBron's health going forward. And James hammers Rob about whether or not Alabama is going to make a run at the NCAA title this  year, because he knows his North Carolina Tar Heels won't! THANK YOU for rolling with us for 200 shows, and thank you to the entire Spectrum crew for making it one to remember!

In this episode, Stephen A. Smith, Shannon Sharpe, and Udonis Haslem debate who is the next face of the NBA. Harry Douglas joins the show to give his take on whether or not it's fair to criticize LeBron James for his late scratch from the All-Star Game. The crew reacts to Draymond Green saying that the Warriors are going to win the NBA Finals this year and we debate if Golden State is more likely to have a disappointing year or pull off a deep playoff run. We discuss where Mac McClung ranks among all-time dunkers after his Dunk Contest Threepeat and what the Dunk Contest would mean for Ja Morant's image. Plus, are people sleeping on a Celtics repeat?

COLD OPEN QUESTION OF THE WEEK: With the minimum WWE salary being around $300,000, what would you do in pro wrestling for that salary (0:37)?

The gang is all back (not all in-studio). Chris is back in-studio from his vacation. Devin is in Fort Worth for Desmond Bane's jersey retirement at TCU. Roser is back in the producers booth. Devin joins the show on zoom and talks about San Francisco as an All-Star Game host, what the games/events were like actually being there, Edey, Jaylen Wells and JJJ and more. Chris talks about his trip and then gives all of his thoughts on All-Star Weekend, LeBron and Anthony Edwards bailing on the game, Wemby/CP3 cheating, Mac McClung winning the dunk contest and if maybe, just maybe, Ja Morant is serious when he tweeted about doing the dunk contest (3:00). Chris watched the OJ Simpson documentary on Netflix, Roser watched Cobra Kai and Chris answers questions about the last 28 games of the Grizzlies (1:16:57)

Kevin O'Connor spared no one from a total evisceration of the NBA All-Star Weekend, especially the new Sunday night game format. Why did TNT make the night more about themselves than the players? How did Commissioner Adam Silver allow an All-Star Weekend in San Francisco without Steph Curry in the 3-point contest? How is Kevin supposed to be excited about a "G-Leaguer" that "only uses props" in the Slam Dunk contest? KOC loves LeBron but says he's to blame as well for pulling out of the All-Star Game last-minute! EVERYTHING All-Star is a mess according to Kevin and Dan Titus. The guys also break down the several weird sound bytes from Draymond Green, including he and Jimmy Butler both being "alpha" personalities, Dray's prediction that the Warriors will win the title THIS season, and Green allegedly "turning down" the Warriors' Head Coaching position in the future once Steve Kerr retires.0:22 - Team Shaq Wins 41-25!

The 2025 NBA All-Star Game introduced a brand-new format, but did it deliver? Steph Curry took home All-Star MVP as Shaq's veteran squad won the first-ever All-Star tournament, but reactions were mixed. Amin and Izzy break down what worked, what flopped, and the impact of LeBron James and Anthony Edwards sitting out last-minute. They also discuss Mac McClung's historic dunk contest three-peat and Draymond Green's criticism of the format—plus, NBA legend Oscar Robertson's response.

The NBA is dead. All-Star weekend was a complete joke — from Mac McClung three-peating the dunk contest by reusing infamous dunk ideas to LeBron opting out of playing in the All-Star Game to Draymond Green ripping the new All-Star Game format during pregame. It was a dumpster fire! Jason unloads on everything wrong with the NBA and compares it to the NHL's All-Star 4 Nations Face-Off. While the NBA panics to find a solution to its abysmal All-Star weekend, the NHL's new All-Star Game format brought in a record number of viewers, rivaling even the Stanley Cup Finals. It's a cultural issue, and the NBA is on the wrong side. Steve Kim joins the show to weigh in on the All-Star weekend debacle, Spike Lee's possible wardrobe malfunction, and a recent accusation that Caitlin Clark single-handedly ruined All-Star weekend. Did she owe it to the NBA to appear in a three-point contest against Steph Curry? Wrapping up our show on this Fearless No-Football Monday is everyone's favorite, Shemeka Michelle, who addresses Elon Musk's baby-mama drama with Ashley St. Clair. Is this woman a plant to tear down the tech genius and DOGE mastermind? She also concludes the “NBA is dead” debate by questioning LiAngelo Ball's rap performance. What is even going on? Thank you for making "Fearless" part of your Monday. Enjoy the show! We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!
