Then that would make the all star break pointless. It used to be East vs west, now it's some stupid format like a tournament but there's no incentive in it, and the dunk contest has been lame for years. So why have an all star break if none of it means anything. Get rid of the in season tournament. It's stupid and pointless, nobody cares about it. Just make the all star break East vs west with the winner getting home court advantage
It used to be a honor to play in the all star game. Now the players feel like they are not getting compensated enough. When Kobe retired it was the end of the all star games he was the last player to bring fire to the game. Everything now is high fives and three pointers.
Back in the early 2000's players actually played with effort, played defense and it was an exciting, tight game... nowadays its not even worth to watch it over a Netflix movie :D
All-Star game is a joke to these players becuase they are getting hundreds of millions of dollars to play in the regular season and playoffs and that causes them to not to try on games that dont matter
The only way to "fix" it is to pick a score target score or do the Kobe rule again turning off the game clock in the 4th and playing to the target. You'll see more competitive game of the target score 150 and and the score is 135-140 guaranteed they'll play harder and compete for that score. My opinion
100% agreed with SAS btw... he is right. LeBron could talk about those All-Star games when he was defending Kobe like its a playoff game... Different times :( Also missing Shaq and LeBron's dance competition before the game :D
No Steven A is absolutely correct. They look like they don’t wanna be there, yet they want the title behind their names. -selfish!! They get paid alot of money to at least PRETEND TO PLAY N CARE ABOUT THEIR FANS /audiences It’s once a year
But cry when they get snubbed saying they deserved to be on the team. They wanna get picked so they can also move out of the way when somebody is doing a layup@@dragonzodiac78
The blame should be broadly spread out. Blame the NBA Franchises, Head coaches, with their conditioning coaches who dont value that game, in fear of their players getting hurt. Blame how these players are paid to due to their performance in regular season and playoff games. Blame how these players are only incentivized to make the team, but not play in it. Blame the NBA for not wanting to pay these players more for playing. Blame the players for buying into the idea that their full participation in that game is more of a privilege and that their selfishness has helped hurt the product... How to fix it doesnt fall on any one issue. During the next CBA, put better financial protections in place that better serve the Players and Franchises. If the Franchises feel better about their 100 million dollar player playing hard in that game, that would help influence participation.
They should’ve put the money stipulation on the all star game just like they did for the nba cup, that a make them nba players play hard in all star games but do winners get 500k and losers get 0
You can't pay them hundreds of millions of dollars and expect them to go out there and bust ass in the All-Star game without getting some paper there needs to be a prize for the winner and them boys will be out there hooping and to be honest East versus West would be real nice right now as far as matchups
I’ve been to all star weekend when MJ was on wizards and no one cared back then 😅 the fans don’t care if the game is good or bad they go there to meet the players and celebrities. There’s parties all around and other shit going on which the nba gets money off of . Why y’all think they still have the all star weekend they’re making money . Have the players are hung over from parting or tired from going to “paid” obligations. Why would they ball out for a free game 😅 make it make sense
Just take out the all star game and the money that money with it in their contracts and you will see their reaction. Why pay them to be all stars if they gonna play like this. You work hard to make the all star team to just shit on it.
I DONT WATCH THIS SHOW.TO MUCH BULLSHIT, BUT IT CAME UP IN YOU TUBE...AND I AGREE WITH STEVEN A.. THE ALL STAR WEEKEND IS A FN JOKE...THE REGULAR SEASON ISNT FAR BEHIND....I PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH GAMES I WATCH...THESE GUYS ARE A JOKE..THE LEGENDS ALIVE AND DEAD ARE ROLLING IN THEIR GRAVES..
No wonder the NBA is failing!!!!.....They should do a playoff bracket, 4 teams, 2 east, 2 west, USA players EAST and WEST and International players EAST and WEST.
Play with effort...get hurt and end their career; y'all won't give a damn... All these people wanting the players to play hard , DON'T GO DON'T WATCH... I want them to play hard, but surely most can understand or just don't watch...
”Disgraced the game of basketball”. Whoaah, hold up, maybe only the dolla murica milk the cash kind of usa basketball bonanza but dont blow it out of proportion.
I completely agree. I stopped watching the all-star game last year
They should make it East vs West and the winning conference gets home court advantage in the finals regardless of record for the team that represents.
Like baseball
That valid

Do away with the All -Star games.The players don't want to play.
This is why we miss Kobe
His Rape Victim doesn't Miss Him.
Facts…his spirit was definitely felt in the 2020 ASG. Which we haven’t seen since
NBA became soft post- Kobe
He didn’t make the fuckin Allstar game stop

He right doe the players messed it up
Doe? SMH
Nah he wrong that gay Mr silver messed it up
Facts Mr Smith
All-Star game is a joke to these players becuase they are getting hundreds of millions of dollars to play in the regular season and playoffs and that causes them to not to try on games that dont matter
Stephen is absolutely right ! From france i used to wake up to watch the all star game
It was 15 years ago
I loved the East vs West format but it was not been competitive or fun watching it. It's also the players who played caused all of this change
The only way to "fix" it is to pick a score target score or do the Kobe rule again turning off the game clock in the 4th and playing to the target. You'll see more competitive game of the target score 150 and and the score is 135-140 guaranteed they'll play harder and compete for that score. My opinion
Maybe they wouldn’t change shit if y’all sorry ass play defense and try to play hard.
E X A C T L Y
The players can complain all they want to but maybe this wouldn't happen if they didn't treat the all star game like some meaningless pickup game smh
How you gone blame the players for what the commissioner has done
100% agreed with SAS btw... he is right. LeBron could talk about those All-Star games when he was defending Kobe like its a playoff game... Different times :( Also missing Shaq and LeBron's dance competition before the game :D
He's right. Keep it East West.
No
Steven A is absolutely correct.
They look like they don’t wanna be there, yet they want the title behind their names. -selfish!!
They get paid alot of money to at least PRETEND TO PLAY N CARE ABOUT THEIR FANS /audiences
It’s once a year
But cry when they get snubbed saying they deserved to be on the team. They wanna get picked so they can also move out of the way when somebody is doing a layup@@dragonzodiac78
He said a round robin 🤣🤣🤣
What if the players refuse to
Play ??
They Should make the all starr game mean something towards playoffs
All in the bron era he started everything but nobody is saying the truth YNOT???
I agree w Steven A Smith it’s washed up players made it easy no competition dunk contest not real dunkers they not doing real eye dropping dunks
You're correct KD.
I agree wit KD
Make it US team vs World team with a cash bonus to the winners
They are all trying to be friends,come back with the hate the other team game😂
They should do the top college players vs the nba all stars. Embarrassment will make them play
Why don’t they just ask the damn players what they want to do 🤷🏾♂️
They should’ve played harder. The competition was terrible. It was basically a layup line & 3 point shoot out .
Kd and Stephen a right
blame the fans, if nba fans didn't watch or go to allstar weekend, players would play harder because it would affect their money
It wouldn't affect their money
The blame should be broadly spread out. Blame the NBA Franchises, Head coaches, with their conditioning coaches who dont value that game, in fear of their players getting hurt. Blame how these players are paid to due to their performance in regular season and playoff games. Blame how these players are only incentivized to make the team, but not play in it.

Get rid of all star game if they are not willing to play competitively, they are really considered all stars if they are not willing to do that.
They have to at least try changes to the format before they dump it completely
Literally a fact that these boys play harder at Rico Hines, crossover league, drew league etc than the damn All star game . I don’t get it either 💯
You can't pay them hundreds of millions of dollars and expect them to go out there and bust ass in the All-Star game without getting some paper there needs to be a prize for the winner and them boys will be out there hooping and to be honest East versus West would be real nice right now as far as matchups
Unsubbing from League Pass last month wasn’t such a bad idea.
If you want more defense, just say so. There's no need to change the format.
I’ve been to all star weekend when MJ was on wizards and no one cared back then 😅 the fans don’t care if the game is good or bad they go there to meet the players and celebrities.

Enough Gimmicks. Quit Rigging for LA and clean up your damn HONESTY.
NO, WE WILL MAKE YOU ADMIT LA IS THE BEST BECAUSE WE WILL MAKE THEM WIN. TAKE WHAT WE FEED YOU
If I’m a player making 100 million why the hell would I want to go hard at the all star game for free 😂😂😂😂
All star and NBA games suck. Why wouldn’t anyone watching it. Common people 😀
Another overweight guy typing from the basement

STEPHEN A is right
It was curry planed
Stupid fire the comnshier
Play with effort...get hurt and end their career; y'all won't give a damn...
All these people wanting the players to play hard , DON'T GO DON'T WATCH...
I want them to play hard, but surely most can understand or just don't watch...
”Disgraced the game of basketball”. Whoaah, hold up, maybe only the dolla murica milk the cash kind of usa basketball bonanza but dont blow it out of proportion.
Everyone was done with the 90s 6 months ago now tell yearn for that competition 😂😂😂 na keep that same energy also fire Adam Silver he’s trash
Anything to disrespect Jordan 😂
Stephen A nobody care if you don't come to the All-Star game you won't be missed
Stephen A is speaking for everybody that thinks the all star weekend sucks because of these soft divas.
The NBA is a joke
Nba players play soft all-star game
