Tom Osborn: Wemby stayed true to himself in giving maximum effort tonight: “My biggest takeaway is that it’s possible to give a hundred percent on that court to play hard, to play your ass off. And, for me, it’s the only way to play basketball and I think it’ll only make the game better.”

I will say, I have never seen players deterred from the rim during an All-Star Game and Wemby just being on the floor did that. – 8:58 PM

Shoutout to Wemby.
Defense in the All Star Game. What a concept.
They never needed all of this gimmicky stuff. They just needed guys to try. It has always been a simple fix. – 8:51 PM

More on this storyline
Victor Wembanyama is an All-Star for the first time and while attending the festivities, he commented on the Lakers’ trade for Luka Doncic that will impact him and the rest of the West moving forward into the future. “I’ve watched games of both the Lakers and Mavs ever since it happened,” Wembanyama said. “But what I remember from it, what really strikes me, is how the Mavs’ fans are hurting, how they feel. It’s really something that I think was a really strong emotion. But otherwise, I think the Mavs are still contenders. The Lakers are contenders. It’s very competitive. They traded for very good players. It’s interesting. We’ll see how it goes. But in two weeks after, it’s still the craziest trade I’ve ever seen.” -via Lakers Nation / February 16, 2025
Tom Orsborn: It’s official: Wemby and CP have been disqualified from the Skills Challenge for failing to take 3 valid shots during their first attempt. CP argued his case before telling an official “I’m fine” after the the ruling came down. -via Bluesky / February 15, 2025
Tom Orsborn: Asked about getting disqualified from the Skills Challenge, Chris Paul said, “We tried something that we thought could win, to see if we had the best time. It was fun.” -via Bluesky / February 15, 2025
