NBA Positivity: A Winning All-Star Game and a Look Ahead to the Stretch Run

This year’s NBA All-Star Game was a win (5:05). Why? Was it the format or the players' attitudes? Max still thinks a tweak could make it even better. The dunk contest, on the other hand (19:10), didn’t go as well, but Rich still had some great stories from the weekend. Today’s edition of Five Minute Max (31:08) touches on baseball’s upcoming labor war and what the issues are. Lastly, the fellas talk about this bizarre Kevin Durant story, NBA role players, and their overall excitement for the stretch run of the regular season (40:43).
