With LeBron James making an exodus to Los Angeles, the talent imbalance between the Eastern and Western Conferences may never be more pronounced. So who is the most unlikely candidate to make the All-Star team in the East that you’d actually believe could occur in the coming season?

That is just one of the pressing questions on a new episode of Fastbreak Breakfast. How many All-Stars will be taken just from the Celtics, Sixers and Raptors? Will the Magic, Bulls, Nets get any? Shouldn’t we eliminate the conferences for picking these things anyway?

Also covered:

  • Why is qualifying for the NBA leaderboard on field goal percentage based on field goals made and not field goals attempted? Should minimum statistical requirements be collectively bargained?
  • What one word would we change in Kawhi Leonard’s letter to San Antonio?
  • Is it delusional to think Jahlil Okafor might finally be able to find a spot in the rotation in New Orleans?
  • Did Zaire Smith fall prey to the curse of The Process? Is there a better explanation than “generational sin?”
  • If you were Shaquille O’neal and in the market for a stuffed mountain lion in Nashville, where would you go?
