About this episode
The episode features a special NBA All-Star Selection show where hosts Dana Auguster and Charles Combs select their All-Star teams based on personal experience from 1980 to today.
A few months back we did this for major League Baseball. Then during the NFL Playoffs we did this for the best players that we have seen in pro football. And now during the height of the NBA playoffs, it is basketball's turn. In this all new episode co-hosts Dana Auguster and Charles Combs have put together a special NBA All-Star Selection show built entirely on firsthand experience. This isn’t about stats alone or reputation—it’s about the greatest players we've personally watched from 1980 to today. In this episode, Dana Auguster will be selecting his All-Star team from the Western Conference, highlighting exciting playmakers, high-scoring athletic legends, and dominant big men who defined that side of the league. On the other side, co-host Charles Combs will be selecting his All-Star roster from the Eastern Conference, focusing on the dominant physical style of the stars of that conference and iconic players that shaped that part of the league in what we call the NBA's golden era. Together, this episode blends basketball history, personal perspective, and honest debate as we build our ultimate All-Star lineups. Also the guys are not putting together just a hypothetical…
