First of all, there aren’t enough All Star players who would play on the World team unless they snubbed USA players. The main reason though is at the end of the day, it would still be an exhibition game. The World players may have pride for their own country, but not necessarily teaming up with players from different countries. Since it’s an exhibition game, what World players besides Giannis and Wemby would actually play hard?
Why do people think the NBA doing USA vs World would be any different if it replaced the ASG?
- Thread starter Po pimp
- Start date
Because its new and exciting and different and guys would likely play hard...for a year, maybe 2 then back to 
. Just like the team captain/elam shyt.
The toothpaste aint goin back in the tube. You aint gonna get dudes guaranteed 2 and 300 mil just from basketball alone, that cant even get through the regular season, out there going hard...just so fans and media can be like "that was nice but where them rings at doe".

honestly seems no different than an east vs west style allstar game which they moved away from.
USA vs World. Trying to create a fake rivalry but the players will still not be invested.
Only way to get the players to play hard is if the NBA allows the winner of the allstar mvp to add an extra W to their teams regular season record as a reward.
boom, the game actually matters now. Allstars are usually the highest paid on their roster so financially incentives aren't going to move the needle.

the nba should add 6 more players to each team, let the top 6 vote getters pick four other all stars and have a 5 on 5 tournament, include a cash prize, you have several games throughout the weekend, sprinkle in the contests and the other shyt throughout the weekend with the tournament games being the main event
I bet money that bytch not only gets ratings but will be very entertaining

Its not going to be full games necessarily, they gon take a page out of ice cube 3 on 3 book, and I think it would be more competitive than what they been doing lately, it’s going to be hard not to care when u on the floor the whole time, don’t let a “lesser” player get some shine on you

Get off your high horses. Its a good ideal straight up. It just did numbers and became a revelation for the NHL, it would would do the same and possibly be much bigger for the NBA. The foreigners will show up which means the Americans will be forced to. Its a win all the way around (the world). I say its happening next season. Why not. Every ideal should be on the table right now. They have nothing else to lose especially after this past debacle of an all star weekend.
You don't need to have everyone be a all star
The NHL killed it and not everyone on those 4 teams would have been all star.
The NBA controlling this no fiba , no Ioc just straight NBA $$$
People are going to tune in more if it's red white and blue vs other countries

The Rising Stars game was Team USA vs. The World from 2015 til the pandemic. It's not that the league didn't try it (and honestly those games were better than the actual ASG), but they probably didn't think it would merit the kind of success necessary to justify one for the real game.

You buggin. The world can easily fill a 12 man all star roster to play usa. Obviously not all 12 would be all star caliber players, but 7-9 definitely are and some are already the best players in nba.The world (especially p*ssy Canada) would get washed if usa basketball took that challenge serious
They(the whole planet)don’t have enough talent
Plus its only 1 game. The world can play a 8 man rotation and probably beat us. Lets not arrogant enough to think they can’t compete.

This would be under a whole new circumstance and era. Make it official, hype it to death, and put the marketing machine behind it(ads, said countries involved, networks, music artists, Nike, Addias, Gatorade, AmEx, etc.) They can make this thing as big as they want to. It even makes 100x more sense than the mid season tournament they just started up.2015 NBA Rising Stars Box Score | Basketball-Reference.com
