The NBA All-Star Game looked different this year — and fans everywhere are asking the same question: did the league finally fix it?
On this episode of The Crossover, NBA veteran Keyon Dooling and Ten Day Tony react to NBA All-Star Weekend and break down what actually felt different about the All-Star Game in 2026. The guys discuss the new format, the level of competition, and whether players finally took the game seriously again. From intensity to effort to pride, this conversation explores why this All-Star Game felt closer to real basketball than what we’ve seen in recent years.
The episode also dives into Kawhi Leonard’s dominant performance and why he continues to prove he’s still one of the best two-way players in the NBA when healthy. The conversation shifts to LeBron James and the possibility that we may be watching his final All-Star appearances, reflecting on his longevity, legacy, and what it means to see an era slowly coming to an end.
Later, the guys address Kevin Durant’s alleged burner account controversy and KD’s complicated relationship with social media, discussing how modern superstars navigate criticism, narratives, and public perception. They also talk about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee after a viral moment involving Miami, and whether Giannis could eventually push for a new situation in pursuit of championships.
Additional topics include Miami Heat roster concerns, tanking in the NBA, potential fixes to the draft lottery system, and Finals predictions involving teams like Cleveland, Oklahoma City, Denver, and San Antonio.
This episode of The Crossover delivers real NBA analysis, honest conversation, and player-driven perspective you won’t find in highlight shows or hot-take television.
