  • Summary

  • Could the NBA All-Star Game be coming to Boston? We dive deep into what it would take to bring the event to Beantown and how the All-Star Game itself needs a major overhaul. From Jayson Tatum’s amazing performance to the awkward 18-minute break during the game to celebrate the broadcast, the guys discuss what worked and what didn’t at this year’s All-Star Weekend. Travis loved the Friday and Saturday night festivities but wasn’t impressed by Sunday’s games. Is it time to fix the format and make the event more exciting? The conversation heats up as the hosts debate whether the NBA should get rid of conferences altogether and just have the top 16 teams face off in the playoffs. Trav even suggests cutting the number of teams in the league to improve competition. Plus, Ountae puts Travis to the test with a list of the highest-paid players who’ve never made an All-Star team—can he guess the top 5? The guys also talk about this season's biggest disappointments—are the Suns or 76ers more underwhelming? Is Paul George the biggest letdown, or is there someone else? And which team is the biggest surprise: the Rockets or Pistons? Ountae recommends watching Hornets at Lakers for some trade drama and LaMelo Ball magic, while Trav’s looking forward to Clippers at Bucks to see if the Bucks can beat a hot Clippers team at home. They wrap up with a preview of the upcoming Celtics vs 76ers game. Tune in to Hold My Banner with hosts Travis Thomas & Ountae Campbell for all the basketball talk, hot takes, and their vision for fixing the All-Star Game in Boston!
