Drama Digest

The super hit basketball showcase of 2019 is back. The 2020 Super Penguin BasketBall All-Star game basketball game exhibition is here. The show presents some of the best and hottest Chinese celebrities and ex-NBA legends. The showcase showcases some of the best matches and showdowns in basketball. Watch this 8 episode showcase to see how it all plays out.

The Feel-Good Part

Sports play a vital role in many people’s lives, so it’s always fun to see a showcase of talents such as the Super Penguin League. Super Penguin League already had a very successful first season, so for it to return a second time and do what it did the first time even better is just amazing. It also highlights some of the best Asian players in the field. It allows them to play a minor league or something, not NBA related, to have fun and enjoy their sport and everything they offer. What’s more? Super Penguin league is also a fun time, with guest appearances, extended episodes, and a chance to understand and enjoy with all the players on each team.

The Disappointing Factor

Since this is a network tournament, it may be a little glamorous and off. But that depends on how invested you are in the sport and your seriousness. However, one of the most disappointing moments in the show is when Dylan Weng loses his cool and curses out a referee. Basketball is a professional sport, and it is very disheartening to see players lose their cool while playing on the field. However, we can understand and sympathize with them because of the stress and pressure of the show. Unlike regular showcases, this show has eight episodes, so it’s not just a simple standard game. It is a massive tournament. If you do not have the patience or energy to sit through or watch eight episodes of a basketball game, this show might not be for you.
