Here’s some insight from the broadcasters and analysts who will be covering the NBA All-Star game
Marv Albert on the excitement surrounding the 2015 NBA All-Star weekend: “It’s a fun weekend for basketball, and the first one in New York since 1998…we’ve had some great finishes in recent years.”
“I don’t think the Knicks and Nets play so far this season will keep fans away, because you have all these great stars coming there. I think it’s going to be a wild scene, both Saturday in Brooklyn and Sunday in the Garden.”
Grant Hill on the emerging stars of the future competing in this year’s All-Star Game: “It’s an exciting time because you are seeing new faces and new stars emerge. [Warriors point guard] Stephen Curry was the leading vote getter, something that LeBron James had done for many years. This year we are seeing new faces, like [Kings center] DeMarcus Cousins, [Warriors guard] Klay Thompson, [Raptors point guard] Kyle Lowry and [Hawks point guard] Jeff Teague. These are some of the young and up-and-coming players who have the chance to be in that upper echelon category. That is the consistent thing about the NBA, the changing of the guard. Through the years, new faces come in, and new faces become old faces. It’s fun to see these guys who have potential be recognized for that, but you still have the familiar faces. It’s a bit of a transitional point right now for the league.”
