Sports and sugar = a winning combination,

NBA (NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION)
The NBA All-Star Game is this weekend in Charlotte. The highlight of the weekend is usually the skills competition, which includes the slam dunk contest and the three-point shooting contest. It’ll be a homecoming weekend for the Golden State Warriors' Steph Curry, who will take on his brother, Seth - who plays for the Portland Trailblazers, in the three-point contest. BROTHERLY LOVE
Team captains LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo, will attempt to lead their handpicked teams to victory on Sunday. BRING IT ON
OVERTIME
The Toronto Argonauts (CFL – Canadian Football League) signed a new player and he’s drumming up a lot of attention. Not only because of his play on the field, but because his nickname is Poop. No that’s not a spelling error - poop. Apparently, he’s a frequent bathroom visitor, hence the nickname. HE’S THE SH*T
SIDELINE STAT
This could be the most controversial topic since Laurel and Yanny. Golfer Matt Kuchar decided to enter a tournament last minute and his regular caddie was unable to make it. Kuchar hired a caddie from the local course in Mexico with an agreement that he would make $3,000. Kuchar ended up winning the tournament and nearly $1.3 million in prize money. He tipped his caddie $5,000. PGA (Professional Golfers Association) Tour caddies make 10% of the golfer's earnings and while many have said he didn’t do all the work the regular caddies typically do to warrant 10%, that he should’ve tipped him a bit more. DID HE GET THE SHAFT?
COACHES’ CORNER

WHAT TO WATCH
Actress Regina King was minding her business courtside at a New York Knicks game, when seven-foot-tall Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers ran after a loose ball, jumped over her head and creamed the guy sitting behind her. She almost ended up with a shiner for next weekend’s Oscars, and not the good kind. SHOW US PLEASE
