We almost there.

Baby A.J.E. is on the way.

Hopefully, we have a March baby, not April. He hates it.

He hates my belly.

So I walk around and torture him looking like this.

And then at night, when she kicking,

I put my stomach on his back, and she kicks him.

He gets annoyed 'cause he'll be like, "How do I supposed to sleep?"

But I think he's excited.

- Nah, I just got a song, you know. - Let go. Let go.

You got this...

I try to do as much as I can, like, with him.

I'm spending these last days to let him know, like,

"It's not just gonna be me and you no more."

"We added a new addition."

I feel like the maturity level is definitely gonna rise.

We'll see a different Ant

as far as home life and core life when the baby gets here.

I got a baby on the way now,

so I gotta grow up a little bit. But I feel like I'm still a kid.

I still don't care about nothing, still the same way.

They said the baby gonna be here in the next three weeks or something,

so yeah, I'm super excited.

Hopefully, it's not on a game day.

That was a good win.

Oh my God, I forgot to send you this thing

of this little kid.

He is so funny.

I love this kid.

- And then... - Look.

Talking about cute.

Girl, you in... I'm in middle school. That's okay!

- No, ma'am. - No, ma'am, no ham, no turkey!

No, ma'am, no ham, no turkey!

This is my 20th, uh, actually being an All-Star.

Twenty straight. Um, so it's pretty cool.

Do you hate that you didn't make it the first year?

Yeah, I hate it. I definitely hate it.

I think my first one was at Denver, Colorado.

It felt like I was doing something right.

I was appreciated for what I was doing, and I was gonna be out there

with guys that I'd looked up to for so long,

like Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant

and, you know, Vince Carter, Shaq.

And I was out there to let them know that I belong.

Like, "I belong out here with y'all."

And then, like, back then,

21 years ago or 20 years ago, whenever that was,

like, we wanted to go to every single All-Star party.

Every single one.

Every single thing. We wanted to do everything.

I don't wanna do shit now.

I wanna relax, chill with my family, chill with my wife.

This one actually could be my last one.

Who knows? You don't know what tomorrow holds.

So, you know, the torch always has to be passed.

♪ I used to run the block Now I'm corporate ♪

Two-time All-Star.

That... that hit a little different. Two-time All-Star Anthony Edwards.

Hey, man.

Vacation has started, brother.

Real talk. We a long way from goddamn West Side though.

Being named a All-Star is super dope.

I actually got picked to come to the game the first time.

- We only got a two-hour flight. - Shit.

Two hours is it!

So it's my first real time making it, so I'm super excited to get there.

When I first heard he was gonna be a All-Star,

I'm like,

"What did you..." I mean, "What did you expect?"

♪ Cost money... ♪

Two, three, four.

And that shit might not get in.

Your memory can't be that... We need to talk. Hold on, bro. Hold on.

Look!

How many y'all got? How many y'all got left?

Boy, you got five left.

All-Star weekend, man. There's nothing like it.

Watch out!

What a spectacular comeback by...

It's something that, as a kid,

when you... if you watch basketball and you, like... that is a moment.

"I wanna be out there with the best players in the world

on the same floor, on the same court, during the same weekend."

This is what the crowd's been waiting for.

Unbelievable!

For the money... Whoa!

Look at the air. Look at the hang time. Look at the flying motion.

Three-pointer...

Yes! Oh my!

That's... that's where you wanted to be.

Iverson, down the lane, scooped it in...

It's one of those times where everybody's gonna step out.

You're gonna have the best of the best of the best NBA players.

There's gonna be star-studded celebrities.

There's gonna be entertainers, actors, actresses.

It's just one of those gatherings where you know it's gonna be the spot to be.

We all wanna be All-NBA All-Stars.

Coming from middle-school basketball to high-school basketball,

you're not even thinking about,

like, "I can be amongst the best players in the league."

"I can be in the locker room with LeBron James, Steph Curry, and KD."

When they finna get ready to retire or not many years from it,

like, I was in the locker room with them boys.

So super dope, for sure.

Tatum is really popular today, but I'm sorry to break the bad news.

We are completely out.

All out of Tatum jerseys?

Yeah, it's been... He's been really popular.

My first All-Star, I was so nervous.

I'm still very happy to be here.

I've gotten to the point where I know exactly what to expect.

I know how it's gonna be. I'm excited.

Where's Sabonis?

What happened?

This year, I didn't make All-Star. It is what it is.

When I found out I didn't make the cut,

you know, at the end of the day, um,

there was a lot of good things that happened after that,

and we took a big family vacation.

Haven't done that in a long time with my wife and my kids, you know,

and could really experience it.

Oh!

Like this.

Aw!

A heart!

How do I normally handle disappointment?

People who know me,

it just kind of

lights a fire in me, and I just wanna go and work harder.

Work harder. Um, kind of put the blame on myself.

I always think I could do more.

Family and friends say it's not always your fault, or it isn't your fault,

you know, but, uh, as a competitor, being one of the leaders on the team,

you kind of always kind of wanna blame yourself in some sort of way

'cause you just have to be better.

Don't you wanna get in the pool?

Say, "Mommy guapa."

Mommy guapa.

Louder. Louder.

Mommy guapa.

- Yay! - Muah!

I kind of understand my father way more now.

Trying to balance the life of a family and... and work

and trying to be as present as you can.

Four, three, two, one,

blastoff!

Am I able to turn basketball off during vacation?

Hell yes.

I can totally turn it off, forget about it,

and just focus on the family.

♪ Won't you take me home? ♪

I didn't make the cut, and nothing's gonna change.

You know, my goal is to be consistent and help my team win, you know.

My goal is just to get everyone as competitive, as locked in,

and take every little thing serious, and then at the end of the day,

you're gonna put yourself in the best position to win games.

Welcome to the cold, freezing city of Indianapolis...

...where it is a brisk 25 degrees

with a wind chill of 12.

Snow on the ground.

Everyone's in big coats,

scarves, warm furs, and hats.

Stay warm, kids.

Indianapolis, Indiana,

the Circle City all dressed up for the NBA showcase event.

We welcome you to the 73rd NBA All-Star Game.

I've played in 20 consecutive All-Star Games.

It didn't feel like a big deal to me until I got to the arena,

and I seen how many cameras were following me.

- Well, hello there! - Excuse me, sir.

Damn!

We in the '80s?

The fuck? Who gave me these shorts?

- You're rocking 'em. - No.

Listen. I'm not like these younger guys. No, I need longer shorts.

Who I got...

I can't... Yeah, I'm not like...

This is for Bronny, not for... This is...

- I'm senior. - All right.

I can't hoop like Clyde and them used to do back in the day.

I need a little flow in my shit.

- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

Yep. Thank you.

- Good to see you. - Good to see you.

Good to see my guys.

- Hey, LeBron. - What's up?

Yeah, get that flick.

- It never get old. - What up, dawg?

- So good to see you. - How are you?

- What up, dude? How are you? - Good, man, good.

Look around the locker room, see the names in here,

and guys that have been doing it for a very long time.

LeBron, KD, myself,

and the new young... young crew that's coming through.

So I hope to be here plenty more years,

but... old man. You see some grays?

Got some grays coming through.

Let me get that star on the back, the 20.

- Does it say it on there? - Do it say it or... What is it?

- Twenty. - Like the number 20?

- Yeah, the number 20. - Oh, that's pretty cool.

- Wow. First time. - Yeah, I didn't even check it out.

I didn't look at it. I just put the motherfucker on.

At 6' 8", guard from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Voted as a starter...

My first All-Star Game...

...LeBron James!

...I was extremely happy to be a part of it.

And, uh, I remember that moment being out there,

you know, it was just super cool.

Any advice you'd have for LeBron?

Nah, he's doing a great job. I've been impressed with him.

He's mature, extremely talented, and the league's in good shape in the future.

Watch this!

Iverson to the open floor...

He goes all the way! Whoo!

LeBron James!

Here's James off the reverse.

Pass to James!

Boom!

LeBron takes it to the rack!

- LeBron. - He didn't. Okay!

LeBron James on the alley-oop!

- For the books. - Yeah, first of many. I had a good time.

Like I said... like I told y'all, we were gonna get this win, you know?

You know, we did it.

It's always fun and humbling to be a part of this weekend,

and, uh, for me to be in my 20th All-Star Game

is super-duper surreal.

And we welcome everybody to Indiana,

where the main event's about to happen, the 73rd NBA All-Star Game.

Honor to meet you.

- You too. - So good to see you.

- Been looking forward to seeing you. - Man, me too.

You gotta start cooking, for real, bro.

We ain't trying to double-team you no more.

My coach... my coach was like, "Can you shoot anymore?"

This back screen for, uh, KD, okay? Don't be on the line, yeah, for the lob.

- Just be a bit deeper. - All right.

Let's go. Let's go.

- Win. One, two, three... - Win.

LeBron's 20th All-Star Game,

the most ever at 39 years old.

- Ah! Yes, sir! Yes, sir! - What's up?

Tatum, the MVP of the All-Star Game a year ago...

And that's how the scoring starts.

Get an easy one! Get a layup!

Yeah, Ant, get a layup, man!

Great pass!

You did that, man. I just checked in!

Uh-oh!

LeBron!

Goes coast-to-coast!

He's still got it at age 39.

You know better. Hey, it ain't the takeoff. It's the landing now.

I can get up that motherfucker. It's about landing.

You're still running up there like you were in '88.

I know. It ain't the takeoff. It's the landing. Bill, what's up, baby?

Your first All-Star Game, do you remember?

Yep, it was, uh... it was me,

Wilt Chamberlain,

Bob Cousy...

...court for the Eastern Conference...

- No. - Yeah.

Dr. J. The guy who was talking before, yeah?

That was my first All-Star Game, back in, uh, '68, I think?

205 points.

That's the record. Dame shooting from half-court.

His second half-court shot of the game!

Stop it!

Fifty piece.

Yo.

- Daddy! - Throw it in the crowd.

Successful weekend.

And, uh, I'm ready to get to this last part of the season.

Let's see if we can make another push like we did last year. I'll see y'all.

An All-Star hit is, like, two thirds of the season.

Right after All-Star, it's, like...

it's sprint time. It's, like, literally, like, go time.

And like, this'll either make or break the rest of the season,

so, um, you have to be ready right after All-Star to get going.

Catching a wave, catching a hot streak,

who's playing the best leading to the playoffs

can catapult you to some things that if you wasn't winning,

no matter what your record was previously to that,

can put you in a position where you can use that as, like, momentum.

Momentum is a huge thing in sports.

If you can ride the wave of momentum, it can change some things,

no matter if you're the underdog or not.

Right after All-Star break,

all of my teammates, they really need me to be a lot better.

I wanna always answer to that call.

What's up, Coach?

Good to see you.

Jimmy, this is Graham. Graham, this is Jimmy.

- What's up? - How are you?

- Graham Bousley. Nice to meet you. - The coach here.

But I could care less about basketball right now. I don't care.

- Two. - I got you, Graham.

Two to three.

Yeah, I work out.

Yes, I train because I love to do it,

and it takes my mind off of my dad.

For that moment, I'm lost in the game, in the art,

in getting better.

But as soon as that ball's done bouncing

and I'm back home,

like, it'll all settle in.

Fourteen. Yeah, I got your back.

Thirteen. Fourteen.

Two misses. Fourteen.

Man, it, um... it sucks to hurt.

It sucks to lose people.

They expect you to be superhuman, which is,

you know, it's a thing in itself, but...

I'm... I'm very much human,

and I'm hurting right now as we speak,

and I hate talking about it.

I hate it. But, um, here we are.

Coming out of All-Star break, when it comes to Jimmy Butler,

he almost starts to rev up,

where you can start to see him sprinkle a little triple-double here,

a little double-double there.

Second of a three-game home stand for the Pels,

and also the second of a back-to-back set,

as they face, for the first time this season,

the Miami Heat.

Miami, they're in a desperate spot.

They wanna get in the top six in the conference.

They're right now seventh over in the East.

So they're playing for their playoff lives as well.

Come here!

There's some players that just know when to turn it on.

They know when the moment's big.

Butler. You want pace? It's lost.

Jose lost it.

Unforced error. Butler will go the distance

and get the roll.

You can just literally flip the switch,

and all the sudden now, you're averaging more points, more assists, more rebounds.

Everything goes up.

On the switch.

Butler on the step-through,

an easy one, and he got the tap and the foul.

Jimmy Butler blocked away by Jonas, but he got it right back.

Yes. And...

Butler from behind, must have gotten a piece of it.

Run to the basket!

Tried to hammer it. Martin goes...

- Go now! Oh! - ...the three-point play.

Looking for Jimmy Butler on the lob.

Easy. Seven-point game.

When your best is needed, you gotta show up.

Z took it away,

and he's held up by Kevin Love.

Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Uh-oh!

- Jimmy Butler and Naji. - Yeah.

I don't think you really understand

until you understand that athletes are... are human too,

that we hurt, and we cry,

and we grieve,

and we're angry.

Something's going on in our life. And you can't see it,

just like we don't understand what's going on in your life either,

but that doesn't make us a bad person for being human.

So, finally, the two teams separated.

For the altercation, Butler will be ejected.

As tired as I am,

I still know why I wanna win now.

Because I want my dad to be able to say that I was a champion,

that I was the best.

It's gonna be for a reason,

and everything is for a reason.

I like it.

Today is not about me though.

It is. Very much so.

- It's about the baby. - And the baby.

Can't forget the baby.

I'm waiting on Shannon. She taking forever.

I'm never late.

Whenever y'all put this out, everybody gonna be trying to play me.

Hey, girl.

Oh hell.

Come on. Today...

Yeah!

Yeah!

Okay, yeah, so...

Yeah.

You look so beautiful.

Oh my... It's big. It's real!

Mmm.

Hell nah.

Hi, everyone. Um, my name's Anissa.

And I'm honored to be here today to celebrate Shannon,

Ant, Krue,

and, of course, baby Aislynn.

So we're gonna start off with the bottle chug game.

We need ten guys to come up here.

Ant's gonna join.

Let me guess. I gotta play all the games?

Yep.

Mike. They're calling you out, Mike.

What is it, though? What's in here?

- Apple juice. It's apple juice. - It's apple juice.

Okay, on your mark.

Get set.

Go!

Oh!

How the fuck do you drink it?

- How you drink it? - You gotta suck it!

Man!

I can't use that...

On your mark, get set, go.

- How many seconds? - Keep going. Whoever finishes first.

Focus!

Where the baby at?

I've lived with a lot of people that had kids. I don't question nothing.

I just try to remember everything that they did,

all the right things, all the wrong things.

I knew I weren't winning that one.

I mean, at the end of the day,

I'm raising my own baby, so, you know, I gotta figure it out.

♪ I'm him, huh ♪

♪ I'm him, huh ♪

♪ Yeah, I'm him ♪

♪ I'm him, huh, yeah, I'm him ♪

Thank you.

Sorry I'm late.

- Hey. - Hey, Dr. Latta.

- I had my baby shower yesterday. So... - Thank God. How was it?

Dr. Latta, that was a time.

- Yeah, did you have fun? - Yeah. Let me show you.

Yeah, I wanna see some pictures.

Oh!

You look radiant.

"You look radiant."

That's so great.

How are you feeling?

- Pressure. - Pressure. Okay.

Painful contractions? Or are you in pain?

My stomach hurt, when this hurts. Now it's in my back.

- It's in your back. - I'm getting nervous.

- I know. - "I know."

- Dr. Latta, I'm getting nervous. - It's okay to be nervous.

- I think Ant's getting nervous. - I... I bet.

Right at 34. That's perfect.

- Can you believe we've come this far? - No.

Moving around in there.

Your kid's head down.

- She head down? - She's head down.

I think, though, this is why you're feeling so much pressure.

It's 'cause that head's pretty low.

What if I was to have contractions or go into labor?

We'll just have to play it by ear, which is really scary, for both of you.

Before then, let's just, like, be cool.

- Okay. - Okay?

If it's on a game day, what does that look like?

I gotta miss the game.

And I don't wanna miss the game, but if it's on a game day,

I gotta go.

Good evening, and welcome to Crypto.com Arena,

and the Lakers taking on the Denver Nuggets.

These games are huge for these two teams,

as Denver just a game out of the top spot.

The Lakers currently tenth, but only three back of the sixth spot.

We're gonna bring you some history tonight.

When he scores his ninth point,

LeBron will be the first ever NBA player to score 40,000 points in his career.

What's going on today?

It's a little bit bigger deal than I thought it would be, I see.

Five NBA championship titles or eclipsing 40,000 points?

I'd much rather have more championships

than have a scoring title or record or something like that.

- But I embrace it, appreciate it. - Yep.

I don't take it for granted. You gotta play this beautiful sport.

It wasn't like I was breaking a record, 'cause I had done that the year before.

LeBron James, a shot at history...

And there it is!

The NBA's all-time scoring record

now belongs to LeBron James.

But I started to get a sense of

it was something that's never been done before.

Oh, my son's in.

Yeah, let's go, boy!

Your biggest supporter.

How often do you talk to Bronny about the game?

Just a little bit. Not much.

Whistle inside...

I'll let him figure it out on his own and what he wants

or wants help or asks me for help, then I give him advice,

but I'll let him figure it out on his own. I've always done that.

I give him my little points from time to time when I'm there.

But...

I let him figure it out on his own.

The Los Angeles Lakers led by LeBron James,

who, my guess is, he would like to get the nine points quickly,

get it over with,

and start concentrating on what is a very important game

for the LA Lakers.

Just a nice extra buzz in the building tonight.

I know you scored double digits for 300 days.

- No. You did it for 300 games. - Yeah, 300...

- We'll stop you. You're going eight now. - No!

Nuggets have hit five of their first nine.

The shot won't go. Davis grabs the rebound.

James, drives, goes down the lane.

The layup is good.

That was smooth as fuck.

Left side, Hachimura, now to LeBron, left corner.

One-on-one against Jokić. Shoots a three over Jokić

and buries it.

So now five points for LeBron James.

Four left to go to 40.

Brother pushing 40 right now!

How's he moving like that, man?

He has some... He has some of that Space Jam juice.

LeBron down the middle. Powers up. Foul and a bucket!

Yeah, Lakers!

James hits that one. Now two shy of 40,000.

Watch. He gonna do something crazy.

LeBron behind the three-point line,

guarded by Michael Porter.

A lot of the fans standing up.

They have their camera phones ready.

LeBron dribbles at Porter, sizes him up.

360 spin to the rim and in!

There it is!

It's 40,000 for LeBron James.

The NBA's all-time leading scorer with another milestone,

as the legend of LeBron continues to grow.

LeBron James has become the first and only player in NBA history

with 40,000 career points.

Yeah! Whoo!

We're ready to get back to live action.

Jackson gets in a lane. Left-handed, too strong off the glass,

and the Lakers come the other way.

Reaves finds some room.

I'm wide open!

Murray sees the double-team. Gets away.

Throws it up, and Watson throws it down.

Blitz. That's a blitz.

It's what the Nuggets do. Let you hang around for three quarters,

and then they step on the gas in the fourth.

Defense!

Jokić. Backdoor, Holiday throws it down.

Now that's gonna do it.

The Denver Nuggets beat the Lakers for the third time.

Good one. Stay healthy.

You gotta stop breaking records. Every time you break one, we lose.

Every time, bro. Every fucking time.

This shit is disgusting.

It's not a record.

As long as you tell us when it's your last game. That's the record.

I'm not... I'm not telling nobody.

- You tell me. - No, I'm not telling nobody.

I won't... Nobody know. I just won't show up at work the next day.

Nobody's gonna know.

He get 45.

If you got 45, you might as well get 46, to double 23.

If he get 46, shit, he might as well go to get 50.

I low-key wanna see him get 50, but that's tough.

That's tough. That's a lot of buckets.

To play this game at this highest level, I mean,

I think back to when I was a kid and grew up watching the NBA

and wanted to be a part of this league...

and watching all the greats,

knowing some of the things that the greats did in this league

in order to become, like, you know, forever known and...

Some of this shit don't even... it don't even make sense, to be honest.

Don't even feel real.

It's like I'm living in a dream.

I really be trippin' sometimes.

- Man... - March 2nd.

Yeah, March 2nd, 2024,

the first player ever to score 40,000 points.

It's pretty cool, man. It's pretty cool.

I just wanna get home and get out of this shit,

put some shorts and a T-shirt on, drink some wine,

and relax. That's it.

I've never set out a record goal

or things like that in my... in my career.

I've had a goal of, like, winning Rookie of the Year,

being the MVP of the league,

winning a championship, making All-Stars.

- I wanna eat! - I'm... I'm starving.

You ate today. Listen, I'm starving too.

Hopefully, being the greatest that ever played the game.

Like, those are some of the goals that I had.

I never set out, like, scoring records

or things of that nature.

It just kind of organically happened.

I don't think no one's gonna beat it because I've seen a lot of players

like, have, like, a lot of points in their games and everything,

but, like, 40,000 is crazy.

- Sleepy? - Mm-hmm.

- You wanna go night-night? - Mm-hmm. I'm starving.

- You got school tomorrow. - No, I don't.

What's up? I like how you look. Know what I'm sayin'?

Doin' that thang, huh?

To be there and experience that with him

and to kind of have an understanding of the names below him

and how this is really a historic moment, like, happening in front of me,

I... I was just... My heart was full. Like, I was just super happy for him.

And, I mean, I couldn't bel... I couldn't believe it,

but I could believe it.

Savannah has allowed me to,

basically,

be as great

as I wanted to be with my career and my journey

'cause she knew I wanted to be the greatest of all time.

And Savannah allowed me to do that

by basically saying, "I got this," at the house.

"Don't worry about it. I got it."

That is, um...

Fuck, she's, uh...

she's the greatest.

You get lost in your own journey

because you're trying to, like, push the limit,

push the throttle, see how far you can go.

"Oh shit. That's the sky. Oh, what's beyond that?"

I'm trying to go, pfft, past that.

"Oh, that's... What's up there?" I'm trying to go, you know...

I wanna go beyond that. Like, there's no ceiling,

you know, and while you're on that trajectory, you know,

you're... you know, you're... at times, you're looking down like, "Oh shit."

"My family's down there. Oh, I gotta..." You know?

And they're like, "Go." Savannah's like, "Go."

"Fuck it. Go."

"We know you coming back. Fuck, just go."

"I... I got Bronny. I got Bryce. I got Zhuri."

"I got 'em."

And you just like... You trying to say thank you,

but you're so fucking high at that point that she don't even hear you.

My heart is full to know that he sees the work on the other side,

even though I'm not like, you know,

pumping and sweating and doing all the things.

Like, it looks easy, but it's definitely, um, nice for that to be noticed.

I don't see anybody else that would allow me to do that.

I don't see any other partner or best friend

that would allow me to do that.

A beautiful sight. Welcome into the Twin Cities.

Tonight, it's the Timberwolves taking on the Sacramento Kings.

Could this be a playoff preview?

I love playing Sacramento. It's always a good game.

I'm super competitive. I love to compete when I see them on the schedule

'cause they got DFox and Sabonis,
