I am thrilled to announce my 205th Scorum Sports Cast! You can find me @thesportsguru and I will be giving you the best 5-10 minute sports rants here on Scorum every day. On today’s episode I will talk about NBA All-Star Weekend and go over the odds to win the MVP tonight!

What did you guys think of the Dunk Contest and 3-Point Contest last night? Incase you missed the action, I highly recommend reading @mateonav53’s recap. It will fill you in on everything you need to know.

As far as tonight’s action, I think Lebron James is going to go full on beast mode. He has zero shot at winning a title in Los Angeles this year. He has zero shot at winning the NBA MVP this year. He has zero shot at winning the scoring title. And in almost every measure, this season will go down as one of the worst for Lebron James and be a massive disappointment for the Lakers fans as they are struggling to even make the playoffs.

BUT, Lebron James can win the NBA All-Star Game MVP and try and save some face. And I think he will.

Usually the home town players get plenty of shots up and that player is Kemba Walker. The game is being played in Charlotte, home of the Hornets. It has been a great year for him and he is averaging a career high in points at 24.9 points per game. I expect him to play very well and at least be in the conversation for the game MVP before it ultimately goes to Lebron.

The over/under really caught my eye for tonight’s action. It is currently sitting at 313 points after opening at 311. For a point of reference, the over/under in the Ohio State vs Michigan State game today is 136.

Can we get just a little defense?

I would love to tell you all about it in my new Scorum Sports Cast. To check out my 205th show just click the play button below. I look forward to hearing your input and comments. Cheers!
