The Knicks will be well-represented during Sunday’s All-Star festivities, with Julius Randle participating in the big game and skills challenge while Obi Toppin competes in the dunk contest. Further, RJ Barrett is among the Rising Stars, although that game won’t take place this year. The future feels bright, doesn’t it?
The Knicks, 19-18, enter the All-Star break over .500 for the first time since Carmelo Anthony was having his finest pro season back in 2012-13. They won’t play again until March 11 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
For much of the last two decades, All-Star Weekend was a true break for fans of the Knicks.
