The sheer number of women screaming in the arena made one thing crystal clear: tonight wasn't just about basketball.
TNT's broadcast booth was packed with talent: Magic Johnson, Steve Kerr, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Earl Johnson. Their broadcast table was set up right in the Staples Center, and during the break before the Western Conference All-Stars were introduced, TNT played a clip of their staff selecting a male donkey in Nevada.
During halftime of tonight's game, TNT would be leading that hand-picked, magnificent male donkey into the Staples Center.
Kenny Smith would fulfill his end of the bet in a media room inside. When the time came, TNT would broadcast it live across America and the world, and they would even invite Su Xi to witness it in person.
Kenny hadn't been able to eat since noon. His spirits were low. He was like a freshly castrated donkey, completely devoid of enthusiasm for anything.
