Want to know how silly NBA All-Star Weekend can be?
is a no-holds-barred opportunity to ask the league’s biggest stars some truly unhinged questions during their media availability Saturday ahead of Sunday’s game. Questions that would typically be considered shockingly inappropriate in any other context are fair game in this milieu.
Here are some of the most chuckle-worthy things that came out of Saturday. Anthony Edwards, who oozes charm and seemingly loved the odd-ball questions more than the basketball-related ones, was asked about a popular Instagram account ranking him as the seventh hottest player of all time.

I be trying to hide it and be ugly for these folks. But they ain’t wrong, though. They probably got me a little low on that list, honestly.”“I’m going to go with JB,” he said of Boston’s Jaylen Brown. “He is from the city . He can’t date my sister.” Then there was Kevin Durant, who was asked if he had to either give up X or video games, which one he’d choose. Durant, of course, is infamous for trolling his detractors on the social media app. “I’m going to go Twitter because they don’t deserve to hear this God-level talk I’m giving to them,” Durant said.Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic was asked whether he’d rather win the MVP Award every year or have his horses win their races.Another highlight was when Luka Doncic was asked in front of Boban Marjanovic if the center was his favorite teammate. Now that we’ve had our foray into the silly, here’s more relevant news. Victor Wembanyama said he wants to make the All-Star Game more competitive by making “exclamation-point plays, playing in a solid manner and sharing the ball with energy.” Other NBA stars weren’t on the same page, including Edwards who balked at the idea that the U.S. versus World format could duplicate the intensity of the Olympic Games. “No,” he said. eb 14, 2026; Los Angeles, CA, USA; Team World center Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs during a new conference for the NBA All Star game at Intuit Dome.

Let’s set it up.”because of a hamstring injury, he intends to “play a little bit” on Sunday. He said he feels “pretty good,” though he added, “No, I will not try to dunk on LeBron.” On the subject of James, who’s the only All-Star holding a news conference Sunday, Edwards acknowledged that whenever the superstar decides to retire, he “might cry a little bit.” Wembanyama doesn’t think he’ll tear up when James hangs up his jersey, but the future face of the league said he’d love to pick the brain of the guy who’s held that title for the last two decades. “I’ve never had the chance to spend time with him, to have full discussion, but I would love to,” Wembanyama said. “I don’t know how many millions of basketball players are on Earth, and all of them can learn something from LeBron.” Meanwhile, when Edwards was asked if his interest has increased in becoming the eventual face of the league, he didn’t hesitate.
