The NBA’s decision to hold its annual All-Star Game immediately raised many questions. After all, the United States – like the whole world – is in the midst of the Corona plague. The same epidemic that has already led to much postponement of games within the regular season, which has determined that the tight schedule as well – due to the commitment to finish the season before the Tokyo Olympics – could become almost unbearable for the players.

So amid this unconventional schedule and in the shadow of a threatening plague, league heads and players’ union leaders have decided to hold the traditional All-Star weekend nonetheless, whose sporting value is known to not really exist. This move, as mentioned, drew quite a few counter-reactions – and a particularly significant one was heard this morning (Friday).

“I have zero energy and zero excitement for this event. To be honest, I do not understand why the game is going to take place,” said LeBron James, the league’s superstar. “We had a short break, we were told there would be no such game and suddenly they ‘throw’ it at us. It’s a slap in the face. We’re still facing the plague, and they want to bring the whole league to one city … I do not understand that. I will of course come “If I choose. I’m not happy about it, but it’s not in my hands. I’ll be there physically, but not mentally,” James added in a sharp critique of the NBA.

Before attacking the NBA’s decision to hold the All-Star Game, LeBron “said his word”, as usual, on the floor – when he led the champion to a crushing 93: 114 victory over Denver. “King James” provided a triple-double of 27 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds, knocked out Nikola Jokic in a direct battle between two of the top contenders for the MVP title – and “On the Road” scored several more points in his glorious career His.

With his second field goal against the Nuggets, LeBron overtook the legendary Wilt Chamberlain and settled for third place all-time in field goals. Only Karl Malone and Karim-Abdul Jaber precede him. It was also his 800th game with exactly 25 points or more – more than anyone else in history. In addition, it was his eighth triple-double since crossing the age of 35 – thus equaling Jason Kidd with the most triple-doubles at such an age. “How does LeBron manage to get better … I mean, how?”, Drymond Green wondered.
