Moving on to Day 2, we have the All-Star practice and then the Media Day. All the All-Stars were there except LeBron James, who was listed as unavailable due to personal reasons. Despite the King not being there, the festivities weren’t dulled.
Giannis Antetokounmpo arrived as a happy party, celebrating his win last night. In fact, keeping his cheer on, Giannis even clowned around a bit.

As always, each player had their own stage where the media could approach them and ask questions. Giannis was asked about his aspirations from this season. The 2x MVP chose getting a 2nd ring over getting his 3rd MVP honors.

It’s a shame no one pointed it out to KD, else we might have gotten them both on the same mic. That could have made for an excellent interview.
