NBA All-Star Weekend is getting another makeover, and TNT’s “Inside The NBA” crew is playing a significant role in it.
On Thursday, Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith took on temporary general manager jobs as they each drafted an eight-player squad for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game. This year’s All-Star format functions as a mini-tournament, as the units O’Neal, Barkley, and Smith constructed will face off against one another.
Two of the eight-man All-Star teams will meet in one semifinal game, while the other All-Star team will face off in a semifinal matchup against the winner of the Rising Stars championship game, an event that includes a collection of the league’s young talent. WNBA legend Candace Parker will be the honorary general manager of the winning Rising Stars team that will go head-to-head against the All-Stars.
O’Neal, Barkley, and Smith built their own rosters Thursday evening, and the first three selections were LeBron James, Anthony Edwards, and Nikola Jokic. By the end of the draft, Team Shaq included a group of veteran stars, Team Chuck was built around big men, and Team Kenny had a collection of young guards. Now, each of the teams consisting of top-notch talent will look to walk out of the All-Star tournament in Chase Center victorious.
The Sporting News tracked live updates for the 2025 NBA All-Star Draft on Thursday. Here are the results from the draft.
