Evan Mobley · If 2024-25’s NBA season taught the basketball world anything over the first half, it’s that possessions involving Evan Mobley and his All-Star point guard are destined to yield elite results. Testing that theory on the heightened All-Star stage, Cleveland’s celebrated one-two punch — with some timely-yet-ironic assistance from their Central Division foe in Detroit — uses a well-schemed pick-and-roll, pocket pass combination to bend the opposition’s defense beyond its capabilities. Cutting from the baseline to complete the three-player puzzle, Evan Mobley elevates, rocking the house with an alley-oop flush. Mobley’s day was defined by lob jams, as he concluded February 16, 2025’s game with six points (using three plays of similar fashion), alongside one assist. Team Chuck would prevail in a 41-32 win, but for Mobley, it remained a night to remember as he became one of six different players making their All-Star debut. · State of Mint
