all-stars on the court at the same time. and the question we've all been asking and wondering about is who will that fifth player be. i know who. a lot of people want to see because of the kevin durant-russell westbrook feud, a lot of people want to see russ just for the drama. would russ pass the ball to k.d.? would they look at each other? would they communicate? would russ pass the ball to anybody for that matter? i don't know if we're going to see that. i talked with steve kerr. i tried to help him with his decision. i want to see anthony davis do. >> you? >> hometown guy, new orleans. it take you from a super team to an uber team. what do you think? >> i like that idea. i will take it under consideration. >> all right. that doesn't sound like that's the direction you're leaning in. >> not really. but it's -- any time you offer any thought or suggestion, i'm going to take it to heart. and probably go back to the room and watch some tape and study the nuances of what that

combination would mean. >> you know the abc 7 coaches staff is undefeated. we've not lost a game circumstances that right? >> mike shumann and i are undefeated. >> wow. i had no idea. >> anthony davis, even though it's a hometown game for him, it seems like that would be a natural selection. that would be cool. but i think i know who the fans want the see. and we'll see what happens. >> hey, just seeing all the warriors out there will be quite a milestone. remember, this is a franchise that had no all stars for a long time. from latrell sprewell all the way to david lee, it was a decade and a half without any warriors representation in this game. so this is going to be a special night, a milestone tonight for steve kerr and the guys. let's head back to the studio and the other half of the abc 7 coaching staff. shu? >> we'll have more from mr. beale at 6:00 p.m.
