I didn't watch it, but I just saw he was MVP for the tournament.

I enjoyed him winning MVP and calling out other players for not trying. I like him as a villain.

There is a virtual clip going around, with him covering his mouth talking to Jalen Johnson saying “I can’t wait to go home”

It can obviously just be he is ready to be done with all star weekend but I’m still thinking the wolves including this year have a 4 year window to win a title until Ant is a free agent

I haven't watched an all star game in years, but I watched yesterday. I think the new format is very good and the game resembled a real basketball game more than prior year. Ant was terrific...he is built for all star games. Kawhi and Wemby may have been better, but Ant deserved the MVP because he was the best player on the winning team. The international team finished last, but probably would have won if Shae, Joker and Luka were healthy.

Not bad, only 4 players that have won the All Stars MVP since 1951 and retired, didn't make it to the hall of fame. The list of winners that haven't retired look pretty secure in making the hall of fame when they retire.

If you're bored and looking for more ANT/Wolves analysis...

Here is my favorite analyst guy, Jason Timpf, from over two years ago analyzing the Wolves roster construction and why he thinks ANT is destined for stardom. It's a 40 minute podcast, but has lots of great analysis and predictions that have been spot on, including why it makes sense to get off KAT, and just how damn valuable SloMo is. I sure hope SloMo comes back!

That was a nice win by team Ant.

I did find it interesting that Ant said he stays off social media (it was a pre game interview I think). Which I think is really smart. Think of how a guy like Durant probably went crazy reading all the opinions and responding to them under a burner account (I bet others have as well!!!). I know if I had thousands of people criticizing my every move I'd probably lose it! :lol:
