Season 3 continues with a loaded episode covering everything from All-Star Weekend to the future face of the NBA.

On this episode of the Swishlist Podcast, we reflect on All-Star Weekend and dive into the biggest question in basketball right now:

Who is the face of the league?

Is it Victor Wembanyama setting the tone with competitiveness and presence, or Anthony Edwards bringing the charisma, energy, and takeover moments?

We discuss:

Whether the All-Star Game is actually becoming competitive again

If East vs West needs to return permanently

Why the Dunk Contest has fallen off

The 1v1 tournament idea that could save All-Star Weekend

Then we shift into real basketball conversations:

The 40/20 Rule check-in — which teams are real contenders right now?

The Kevin Durant burner account rumors, leaked texts, and the “pure hooper” legacy debate surrounding Kevin Durant

Expansion talk involving Las Vegas and Seattle, and how Adam Silver may respond to tanking concerns

We also break down the physicality conversation in today’s NBA:

Fake tough guys vs real consequences

Whether the league needs Bad Boys energy again

Injuries, officiating, and how much edge the NBA should allow

Plus:

Weekly LeBron James retirement timeline discussion
Old head narratives, including Ron Harper Sr. comments
Biggest shocks at Game 55
