Cavaliers’ LeBron James proved he is the best in the 67th All-Star Game Sunday by picking up another MVP honor in the classic. LeBron poured in 29 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists for the Team LeBron 148-145 win. Another big scorer in the Classic was GSW’s Kevin Durant who had this to say: “We wanted to kind of change the narrative of the All-Star game being a joke.” And the beat continues!

They believe they can be anything.” And the beat continues!

You would have thought Bubba won the race.
