2.14.26 Denton Day gives his reaction to NBA All-Star Saturday Night and what needs to be done to fix it. Denton says the dunk contest needs to have stars and the winner needs to paid for it. Why this year’s contest proved that the dunk contest “isn’t any fun anymore and needs to be thrown into the sun.”  Then Washington Wizards guard Tre Johnson joins Denton to react to his performance at the Rising Stars Game on Friday Night, his relationship with Bub Carringtron, and what having Anthony Davis as a teammate has been like.  Denton then gets into the major problem the NBA has in tanking and Adam Silver’s comments on it on Saturday. The NBA threatening to take away draft picks will only make things worse.  Denton then dives into Malik Willis’ future as the Packers backup QB is likely to be on the move this offseason. Will Willis get paid like a franchise QB? Who is the best option between Willis, Tua Tagovailoa, and Kyler Murray? Denton makes the case that Willis shouldn't be trusted yet because of his track record, but he’s still better than Tua and Murray.  Denton then looks at College Basketball and Cam Boozer’s early game performance of late, what to make of the Darryn Peterson saga in Kansas, and Texas Tech’s strong performance against #1 Arizona.
