NBA's Jarrett Allen Found Out He Was An All-Star While Playing Pokemon, Couldn't Pause Game
You'd think that learning of your first-ever selection for an NBA All-Star game would be a moment worth celebrating wholeheartedly and for hours--in the case of Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen, however, Pokemon Legends: Arceus took priority.
According to Fear the Sword's Evan Dammarell, Cavaliers coach JB Bickerstaff said Allen's conversation regarding being named to the team was very short because he was playing Pokemon Legends: Arceus and couldn't pause the game. He wasn't ungrateful, but when you can't pause a game, you can't pause a game.

head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said that Jarrett Allen was unable to pause Pokemon Legends: Arceus so that’s what led to a quick conversation about him being named to the All-Star team. Allen seemed to appreciate the message and went back to playing.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is quite good, if you haven't heard, so this commitment to the game isn't unwarranted. Perhaps Allen had just spotted a new monster and needed to capture it before it was too late? In our Pokemon Legends: Arceus review, Steve Watts gave the game an 8/10 and said «its distinct qualities set it apart from the core series and ultimately elevate it.»

Allen is a fan of other Nintendo properties, as well. In fact, he thinks Mario is the greatest athlete of the generation. He's a replacement this year for James Harden, who is of course best known for his work as himself in FIFA 18.
