Last weekend’s 2023 NBA All-Star game had the lowest ratings in the history of the event, according to data from ‘Sports Media Watch.’

About four and a half million viewers watched the game. That’s even fewer than watched the 2022 game, which set a then-record low. Maybe the stakes are just too low?

Even Nuggets head coach Michael Malone, who led Team Lebron, is on the record calling it “the worst basketball game ever played.”
Curry To Miss Another Week

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry will miss at least another week of play as he recovers from knee and leg injuries, the team announced Wednesday.

Curry has been out since being injured on February 4th. The Warriors are playing the Los Angeles Lakers tonight.

 

Wembanyama Still Growing

Victor Wembanyama, the young French pro basketball player who is a favorite to be the number one overall pick in this year’s NBA draft, is still growing at age 19.

He used to measure seven foot three inches, but he just put on a growth spurt and now looms seven foot five inches, according to ESPN.

Shaquille O'Neal is relatively pint-sized at seven foot one. Wembanyama’s wingspan has also grown, from seven foot nine inches to eight feet.

He currently plays for the French team Metropolitans 92.
