A dozen brave men from the Baller Mind Frame team took it upon themselves to do what they can’t do with their significant others on this Valentine’s Day… predict what will happen. Yes, we just can’t figure you out, women of the world. However, being the basketball-crazed group of men that we are, we feel fairly sure in whom we think will win the various NBA All-Star Weekend events. And, to confirm, we will all be missing tonight’s BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge because of the aforementioned Valentine’s Day… the things we do for love.
