Players expressed satisfaction with the action on the floor, but pointed out Sunday’s tournament featured too many stoppages, as comedian Kevin Hart entertained the crowd at Chase Center with commentary and banter that halted play. “To be honest, I didn’t like it at all,” said Trae Young, a member of Chuck’s Global Stars. “I didn’t like the breaks. The games were so short. Obviously, we can score. So, they’re trying to, I feel like, trying to extend the game, extend the TV time with the breaks and things like that.”

I can’t believe Jokic threw the lob to Wemby instead of Trae. – 8:56 PM

More on this storyline
Georges Niang: I mean, I know half the guys because the league is like a fraternity, but there are always people you don’t know. The problem with me is, I’ve been known to talk some [__] to a lot of people. So I was looking at the roster thinking, ‘Okay, who have I said something outlandish to?’ Luckily, I hadn’t said anything to Ice Trae. -via YouTube / February 13, 2025
Draymond Green: Hey, before we get out of here, shoutout to Kyrie and Trae Young for replacing Giannis and AD. Well deserved for both of those guys. Still no LaMelo, though. Like I said, I think that comes down to representation. When you don’t have somebody fighting for you, it doesn’t end well. I hope these young kids are paying attention—representation matters. Representation is everything. -via YouTube / February 13, 2025
