Takeaways from the NBA’s All-Star Weekend:
▪ It makes sense that high-flying Zach LaVine of the Timberwolves was also the Rising Stars MVP.
▪ Aaron Gordon of the Magic spends a lot of time thinking about trick dunks.

▪ No defense in the All-Star Game produces seven times the points-per-minute than no defense in football’s Pro Bowl.
