No it wasn't. I grew up with all them shyts on video tape. I'm 31. The All-Star game has ALWAYS been little defense until the 4th or so and scores in the 140's and 130's.
Then you dont know what the fukk you are talking about. The game is fast paced and filled with the best players in the world, that's why the scores have always been high. They werent blatantly playing no defense like they do today. Of course you've always had plays where u let that guy score.. now they do it almost on every possession. They play like they dont want to be there.. wild corny.
nikkas is quoting me like this is the 1st all-star game i ever watched. The defense doesnt even turn up in the 4th quarter anymore until like that last 3mins. shyt is wack.
I just searched a random allstar game on youtube:
Tell me they arent playing some semblance of defense here. Two completely different games.
