For New York Knicks forward Julius Randle, the NBA All-Star Weekend is sweeter the second time around.
Despite the 3-point contest dud and Team LeBron’s 184-175 loss in the All-Star Game, Randle enjoyed his second All-Star berth so much more than the first one.
“Yeah. 1,000 percent. This is way better,” Randle said before tallying the second-worst score (13 points) in the 3-point contest and realizing his dream to play with LeBron James in the All-Star Game.
