The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

Last nights all star game experiment was a disaster.

I agree with what Draymond said- it sucked.

What would be interesting is American players vs. foreign players. Either that or get rid of the game because it's been terrible for years.

People expect too much out of all star games. Baseball is the only one that can be played like a regular game and the other 3 major sports all star games isn’t good. American vs foreign players won’t move the needle much either. It is called all star break for a reason and it’s not to play a competitive game that they been doing since October. Imo they found something in this format if everyone in the media would stop crying already. As I said last night players not trying to play extended minutes in an all star game and this format accomplishes that. Add 4 more all stars/get rid of rising stars, less irrelevant breaks, and change target score to 50 and this is new format can work. Would even throw you a bone for your foreign point and wouldn’t be mad if they made one of the 4 teams all Europe or all international team but we should never get back 48 minutes of east vs west because people expectations are too ridiculous for that

In the 80's, 90's and even early 2000's I thought the all star game was good.

Back then I would look forward to it. Haven't said that in a couple of decades.

I don't think there's a good fix to the game though. It's on the players to take the game more seriously than the joke they've turned into the last several years.

And last night, hope they don't do that again. Didn't care for it.

It can be good with a few tweaks

Traditional format is only salvagable if they are willing to throw massive cash bonuses out to players from the winning team.

Losers don’t get it.

At this point I'm good with KD suggestion due to the nonstop complaints, get rid of the whole damn thing.

Just name your All Stars. Give them Friday-Sun off and get back to ball on Tuesday

 

[bksballer89]

They have tried picking your own team, elam ending, and now a mini tournament. People will find a way to complain about any and everything lol people still aren't happy so just scrap it

That would be sad.

People are spoiled.

Either stop complaining, or just don’t watch it.

Easy fix.

Yep it is a simple fix. Last year I stopped watching after the first quarter because I didnt like it. This year I watched all the way through because first to 40 can keep me intrigued but this been nonstop complaining except for like 1 or 2 years in the last 5+ seasons

Hopefully they keep showing it back when it was a real game so people don’t forget. Kind of like how I feel about 70s wrestling.

I'm going with my generation/era

Yep, I agree with that.

The Boomers.

Probably, the millennials most likely...or Gen X, but I would lean towards the millennials.

It is the millennials.

And I don’t think that one is particularly close either.

Yeah, I know....I just love me some Shaq and Kobe. I let my Laker fandom get in the way of these.....sometimes.....LOL.
