We are roughly six weeks away from the NBA All-Star game in Los Angeles. Six weeks away from watching Victor Oladipo drop a pull-up three over Russ on the opening drive forcing Webster’s to add a fresh definition for ‘irony.’ Six weeks from Joel Embiid finally winning a date with Rihanna after his performance of ‘Umbrella’ at a K-Town karaoke bar breaks the internet. Six weeks from Aaron Gordon deciding that he only wants to shoot twenty-eight footers during the dunk contest. And six weeks away from Ben Simmons stepping onto the court at the Staples Center as the first Rookie All-Star since Blake Griffin in 2011.
