*Note: All player stats are season stats

The all star game is for players from other team to come together and play with each other. Although they’re having fun, they also play competitively to win. The games were very close and some players did better than others.

Stars vs World: This game was good with Stars on top and the score being 35 to 37.

Stars vs Stripes: Although Stars are coming off a win they were defeated by Stripes 40 to 42.

World vs Stripes: The Stripes were undefeated with coming off a win vs Stars and won against World 45 to 48. 

The championship was game Star vs Stripes with Stripes coming off two wins back to back. This game wasn’t close at all though with the score being 47 to 21 Stars for the win.

My feedback about the games is that the team World was terrible. They didn’t win one game, but overall, I liked the tournament set-up. My favorite player was Anthony Edwards, winning MVP with 32 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists winning the Kobe Bryant trophy. But somebody I also liked was Victor Wembanyama, even though team World didn’t win, Victor gave it his all.

Overall, the all star game was a 7.5 /10.
