Why do people think the NBA doing USA vs World would be any different if it replaced the ASG?

[MikelArteta]

Terrible idea.

Imagine Cade not making the team yet Jakob Poetel plays in the game to fill out the international roster

who cares though?

even in the hockey tourney some of teh best players in the nhl didn't play because their country wasn't in the tourney, no one shed a tear

who cares though?

Players with incentives in their contracts tied to whether they make the ASG or not, and Lord knows these players ain't gonna do this exhibition for free.

Respect for the creativity. But wouldnt you basically have the same teams every year? Does every region have enough guys? Do you even need to vote? Steph was born in the same hospital as Bron. Which creates another issue? We goin by where you was born or where you was raised? What about people that moved around?

We have the same teams now plenty of liberties could be taken to make it work. Should just be based on wherever you wanna rep for. That AJ kid who's supposed to be #1 next year in the draft moved from New Jersey to Utah for his senior year of HS; he could rep for either one if he wanted to

Touchè. There is some difference year to year though and its not all but locked in. But if you talkin giving nikkas options now that could really be interesting. What if you allow them to rep where they have played too? So Bron could be West, Midwest, South or Jimmy could be...well...anywhere .

This is when you realize there aren’t enough foreign stars to actually make this work.

All that talk about foreigners taking over the league when it’s actually just a handful of elite superstars and not much else.

The gobal team got smoked by the OGs just last week And they were half assing it. Seeing the history of Doncic and Jokic as teammates in the past all star game. I’m so sure this is what’s gonna make them finally take this game seriously

just keep it 10v10

Did the All-Star start being trash when they started fukking with the format or was the format change because of it already being garbage for a couple seasons prior? I remember when they first started screwing with the Dunk contest but that was because it was trash for a couple seasons.

As far as trying to figure something out to make the actual game enjoyable they should just make that shyt like MTV's Rock and Jock was back in the day, it's what they are already aiming at, go full blown with it .

It started being trash and high scoring once Kobe stopped being a factor and the emergence of the 3pt shot. 77% of Steph Curry’s FGs have been 3s. 84% of Dame’s have been 3s, and like 80% of Harden’s.

The NBA’s culture is all fukked up. That needs to be addressed first.

The game needs to go back to being played in the early afternoon. Too many obligations and by the time game starts they're like
