There were many memorable moments during the NBA’s All-Star Sunday night, and perhaps none more bizarre than the decision to stop the championship round of the mini-tournament and give TNT’s “Inside the NBA” Crew their “flowers” before the show switches over to ESPN next season.

Jayson Tatum was spearheading an 11-1 opening run for eventual champion Shaq’s OG’s when the game was brought to a halt. The “Inside” crew received numerous gifts, including signed jerseys from all the players and fishing gear, which was a nod to the popular “Gone Fishin'” segment from the show.

It was a long and awkwardly-placed goodbye to a legendary show that isn’t going off the air, but merely switching networks, it was announced in November.

Celtics forward Jaylen Brown said the ceremony “took the gas” out of the game for a while. The TV cameras cut to him during a point in the ceremony and he appeared to say “get them out of here.”

“I didn’t. I didn’t know if the rest of the guys knew, I didn’t know,” Brown said when asked if he knew about the tribute beforehand. “So that kind of like, yeah, took the gas out of everything for a little bit. I know we’re just trying to be great professionals and do different things and explore how to keep generating viewership. Tonight was just us trying to do something different.”

Part of the reason the NBA switched up the All-Star format this season was due to previous concerns about the lack of effort and defense in recent years. As a result, the NBA switched to a mini-tournament consisting of three games with a target score of 40 points instead of one long game with a fixed game clock.

With the league asking players to play harder, Brown was asked if there were any physical concerns following the long pause in action.

“You could say that,” Brown said. “I would say that’s not ideal to stop like that if you want guys to play and be physical and play harder. I think all the guys were still out there having fun. All the OG’s, team old knees and old backs, we came out on top so I don’t think anybody else should have had any excuses. But, it’s definitely not ideal.”

Brown and the OG’s did not allow the unorthodox presentation to dash their championship hopes. They clinched the championship with a 41-25 victory over Chuck’s Global Stars. Jayson Tatum clinched the win with a dunk on the final play. Stephen Curry, who knocked down four 3-pointers in front of his how crowd at the Chase Center in the championship round, was named MVP.
