I wasn't able to watch the All Star selections live along with everyone else, because the team was in the air on the way to Utah. So we found out on our phones. Of course we all wanted to be picked. Andrew, Zach, myself. But it doesn't matter that we weren't. What does matter is we're still making progress on becoming the team we want to be. That means more to me than any All Star Game.

I did get picked for the Rising Stars game—which is the U.S. team versus the World team—and that's going to be a lot of fun. Both teams are very strong and I'm looking forward to competing with everybody, especially my teammates. Andrew is from Canada, so he'll be on the other side, playing against me and Zach. There's nothing better than going to such a grand event with your brothers. It's going to be great. For the first time in my life, instead of watching the All Star Game on TV, I get to experience it live.

I have so many favorite All Star memories. I remember Michael Jordan's final game. Vince Carter throwing it off the backboard. I even remember watching one of the older games when Magic won MVP after coming back from everything he was going through. I was just watching his dunk contest against Steve Francis. That was one of the best I've ever seen. No bias, but Zach LaVine's performance last year was absolutely tremendous, too. It's amazing what he can do. I haven't seen Zach working on any new dunks for this year yet, but knowing him, he always has something up his sleeve.

I heard Sting will be performing. I've never seen him, so that'll be something new to me. I know I've heard some of his songs, but I don't know them by heart or the titles or anything. Drake was at our Big Blue Madness at Kentucky, so I know him already and it's Toronto. That's his town and his country so if I have Andrew Wiggins with me, anything can happen.

Before we wrap this up, I thought I'd switch gears and answer a few of your questions from Twitter:

@JohnFarmen: "Would you rather fight one Pekovic sized duck or a hundred duck sized Pekovics?"

I'll take the hundred duck sized Pekovics. Because my feet are so big I could probably beat a lot of them up.

@RetepAdam: "Duck Duck Goose or Duck Duck Grey Duck?"

WHAT? I don't know how to answer that. I don't even know what that is.

@Dakota_Schmidt: "If you were building a basketball team of dogs, what kind of dog would you have at power forward?"

A greyhound? Something big, but strong and agile enough to hold its own.

@PokemonyeWest: "Which bear is the best bear?"

I don't know. Yogi?

@Howsito** : "Top 5 films?"**

Hmmm. Coach Carter for sure.

Space Jam is my all time favorite though. It just brings back so many memories for me. Basketball, baseball and Looney Tunes? That's a pretty solid combo to me.

Love and Basketball.

The Dark Knight Trilogy. I'm gonna count that as one movie. If I had to pick one though, I'd say the second one. The Joker was a great character and the whole movie is just perfectly made.

The fifth one would be Paid in Full. I don't think it's the most politically correct answer, but it is my answer. I felt the movie was so good because they didn't have to act, they just lived the way they used to live. I love Money Makin Mitch. He'd spread love. The streets loved Mitch, and Mitch loved the streets. He probably had one of the greatest speeches ever in a movie when he was talking to Ace: "I love the game. I love to hustle, man. I feel like Bird or Magic or something…."
