NBA changes All Star format again (Four Teams, Three Games)

[KnowledgeDropper]

Seems gimmicky, but as others said, you may need gimmicks in order for players to bring intensity and defense

Recently some poster mentioned something about Silver's fixation with tournaments. How right he was

 

[WesCrook]

Like someone said before none of it matters if it’s not competitive and entertaining


I miss the days of a simple ease versus West competitive game

All of this NBA and All-Star weekend shyt seems forced, but I will see how it goes in February February

There's not a noticeable distinction between the conferences anymore.

There used to be an incredible balance of big name stars in each conference. Stars who were known to represent their conferences for many years. Those days are long gone.

All-Star game is a gimmick, in itself.

Why they switching up the format if there is nothing wrong with the product and the TV ratings don’t matter?

 

[jdubnyce]

Still gonna have 100 three point shots attempted per game

At the end of the day you have to switch it up and do something. Maybe players will take it more serious with this format

Sounds trash

What makes you think they're changing this for "TV ratings"?

Let's make players that sit out games that actually matter play more games that don't count for anything at all. Brilliant idea!

Why is the tnt crew drafting players when they dont even watch games? This format is already meh but now it will be unwatchable.

Can we stop with that captain and drafting players shyt? All that shyt is lame. We didnt need to do that before to get excited for the allstar game.

Can yall imagine if players from the 2000s were around and they had to be drafted to team Lebron or team Steph? Yall think Kobe would let that fly? Or Shaq being drafted to team Dwight when Dwight was really popular? Stop that dumb shyt.

I dont want to hear from Shaq, Kenny, Barkley.

Kneejerk reaction I don't like those old nikkas who barely watch games to pick the teams, they won't know who the people wanna see together



But then I thought if they were picking the teams years ago they would've 100% put KD/Russ/Harden on the same team while they were beefing


And I feel like the young nikkas on the Rising star team will pressure them to not embarrass themselves

All Star weekend is purely for entertainment, I'm fine with them experimenting until they find something

To think we almost had this lame ass crew outta with the new media deal. Stop giving guys who dont watch basketball so much power and influence. Neither Barkley or Shaq cant name 2 players on every nba team. FOH with these clown ass dudes.
