We can cut right to the chase—the most exciting night of All-Star Weekend is All-Star Saturday Night. All players have arrived, the controlled chaos of All-Star Media Day (we’ll get to that) is out of the way, guys get to button-down and just show up to the game as fans and supporters of friends, and the air is electric.
