Aside from a couple cool moments (that were also ruined by Kenny Smith), the NBA put on a poor show this weekend. The dunk contest was rigged and boring. The All Star Game was a joke. But hey, LeBron James made up for all of it with some truly incredible quotes that no one believed.

Slight tweak to the schedule this week as Trysta is traveling back from an extremely busy Super Bowl. We'll return with a full episode tomorrow but for not, let's talk about Ausar Thompson, who can, at any given time, look anywhere from a destroyer of worlds and future all star to barely an NBA player. He has the tools to really impress but his offensive game is, well, offensive.
