Is that how life works? Like if you're talented of course you should be PAID. They don't care about the all star game anyway what matters to them is what's going to happen on the month of April - June.
It's easy to make the All Star weekend mean something, remove the All Star Game and have an All Star selection instead. Just like the All NBA selection at the end of the year. Keep all the activities on Saturday and on Sunday, will be the In Season tournament finals. We're holding on to something that will never be the same as it use to be because of nostalgia.
So “we” the fans vote you into the All-Star game and now we have to pay you to compete? Make it make sense. How about we not pay you and go compete? Or we can cancel the event all together. Man I miss the 90s and early 2000s. It’s ridiculous.
I know its annoying to say it, but I am thankful to be a 90's kid. The league was just different back then. There is so much talent today, but they are becoming more and more out of touch. It's becoming less enjoyable to watch overall, beyond the all star game.
The idea of giving more money to allstars that make 30-50 million a year already is ridiculous. Players in the 90s 00s got paid less and gave more effort. The NBA nowadays is such a joke.
@@luthfeeghazale6206 MJ made been making 35 million a year from Nike since 86!!!! He was doing quite well by 96, lol! In today's money that's like making 140 million a year!
The All-star game is horrifically bad. All-star weekend should be CANCELLED until vast improvements are made. If the players don't play with pride & competitive spirit then just cancel the entire event.
@@tlungu962no its the players fault. They dont love the game. Fans and the media should not dictate how the players should feel about the game, thats stupid
Respect the panel's opinion but what a horrific message. It's starting to look like these ballplayers have no remorse holding a weapon to the throat of the average fan. "Pay us so that we play hard"? Respectfully, what is that? Quite saddened to see players like Luka and Ant absolutely mail it in too as it seems out of character. Austin said it best as it is supposed to be the greatest pickup game in the world. With these stars being paid astronomically more than they ever have; with incentives for in-game tournaments, and now with this honor, it is still "pay us even more". I understand that is the way the world goes round but rewatching the highlights of the 2001 All Star Game is so refreshing. Night and day in terms of effort and emotion. I fear the players are being a bit shortsighted towards their regard to the customer. If I were Silver in this moment (who has made efforts to push these guys btw) I would scrap the game altogether rather than be blackmailed for the effort of the game's current icons. The fact that the trophy bears Kobe's name is an actual tragedy.
How out of touch can you be. “Pay them”. Even if that worked (it won’t). Us as viewers, the most important aspect in all of this…won’t watch. I am a hardcore NBA fan. If it takes them to get “paid” even more to play competitively, I’m not watching. Disrespectful to fans and the game of basketball.
i dont think paying them is going to work, this players are millionaires, at least in the in season tournament you have guys that dont get paid as much as a kevin durant, lebron james so you would understand there is an incentive but for this players with supermax, money incentives wont work imo
@@luisdanielvega99 exactly. Crazy that these “analysts” on TV don’t consider these things before putting it out there.

Who cares what it takes to get good basketball. Money ain’t coming out of your teams cap. Players doin more off the court than players did for all star weekends back in the day. I didn’t feel disrespected cuz I know goin into it what it is lol we won’t talk bout it til next year.

Perk is off-base about $500,000 being motivation to play hard. These all stars are the guys making 40, 50 even $62 million a year. Now regular bench guys, for sure, or for me, that is real money, but not to these guys. Besides it should be for pride.
This is not just a All Star problem, Guys resting, teams tanking, building Superteams, like NBA is my favorite sport but ima shame that the best players doesn’t want to compete
Same i always defended the all star game but man last night was just embarrassing and Edwards shooting left handed and Scottie Barnes backwards half court shot
it is a league wide issue you are right, the whole thing is a shambles, the nba might have the most talented athletes in the world, but true basketball you will find in europe
The irony of this whole thing is that the All Star Game trophy was named after Kobe Bryant, who always gave us his best effort whenever he was on the court
Yes the overly friendly players have outnumbered the competitive players to the point where the competitive players don’t want to stand out. I blame LeBron, Curry and Gianis for spreading that friendly vibe to the rest of the players
Nobody in this generation is cut from that cloth. In the 90's players took pride in the All-Star game and wanted to prove themselves as the best to everyone on the court. In today's NBA they will all hug and go to dinner together after the game. That's not what sports is supposed to be about. These players act too entitled.
Players from the losing team should get votes deducted in next year’s all star voting. That’s one way to keep them competitive. Players seem to consider it high honor to be an all star (and a huge snub and disrespect when not selected). So the risk of not getting selected because of getting less votes (due to deductions) should make them be more competitive to win the game. Home court advantage was already suggested before and it’s a ridiculous idea. It won’t bump the needle. The same way they did the 65 game rule, it has to apply to everyone and should hit the players where it matters most… their ego and/or their money.
The 2000 All star Game is the best. Players today should be ashamed. Kobe, TD, Iverson and whatnot played their hearts out like it was your last day. What a shame.
that’s b/c fans celebrated a player like Iverson no matter what back in the day. Today, he’d be ridiculed for not winning a ring or getting back to a final after his first stint.. so why would go hard for an exhibition match?
@@007ninja88 bro it don’t matter how much money you payed these dudes back then…they were coming to take heads off😂. Men were built differently back then
All the suggested solutions seemed to be rewarding the players for not caring about the game or the fans. They don't deserve any kind of financial incentive for the game. How about the winning team wins home court advantage in the finals for their respective conference? Ridiculous yes, but at least that would theoretically inspire legitimate effort for a real purpose.
just cut their wages viewership is down.. meaning sponsorship money goes down which means your taking pay cuts untill you make it entertaining and get viewership back up
I've heard it before the dunk contest needs to be made public. It'll need to have some organization but you find 10 contestants, put up 100k. Watch these dudes go CRAZY 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why should you pay All-Stars players who make millions already to compete in a game that they said they already love you shouldn't pay for them to compete
Early 2000's were legit too. Around 2007ish is when things started to go downhill. I don't even know fully how or why, but it for sure changed for the worse.

Money wont work man. You shouldnt have to tell athletes to compete. Especially since this game is meant to be for the fans. Telling players to play for the fans shouldnt be a thing.
most of the stars don't really care about the little money that they would get paid. the in season tournament incentives worked because everyone on the team got the money
@@pkboolean Thats why i think if only the winning team got money it might make them compete. Aint no one wanna spend all weekend doing things and not getting paid. 1 million isn't gonna make anyone play harder. The thought of not getting anything while the other team gets your money might work.
i said the same thing. make them go back to basketball without the three point line. all 3 point plays have to be and ones, no matter how far you shoot it from it will be two points
It's easy to make the All Star weekend mean something, remove the All Star Game and have an All Star selection instead. Just like the All NBA selection at the end of the year. Keep all the activities on Saturday and on Sunday, will be the In Season tournament finals. We're holding on to something that will never be the same as it use to be because of nostalgia. The In Season tournament was a good idea but the finals can gain so much more by being on the All Star weekend.
I would rather cancel the All-Star weekend than pay these athletes more. They are already getting generational wealth each contract they recieve. Being an allstar is an honor. If that honor and wanting to perform for the fans isn't enough motivation to play, then cancel it. It's so disrespectful, tone deaf and I think rewarding them with more money to do what they should already be doing is a terrible idea.
The All Star weekend as a whole is nothing more than a money grab. It’s not enjoyable and also future all star weekends should never be done in Indy.. ever again lmao
I disagree on the Indy part. I believe ANY city that has a team should get the chance to host the All Star weekend. You can't keep rewarding the same cities.
Yes, lets have it in Las Vegas or LA, just like with everything else. Great way to show 90% of the fans that you don't care about them. lol This is actual brain rot, as if fans from other states don't deserve to have this stuff in their city because its not one of the 3-4 major cities. That is so out of touch. Indiana is one of the best states when it cames to basketball.
Perk you’re the main person pushing this type of play. Stop the cap. And if you felt that it was that bad (which it was that bad), stop saying LeBron is the GOAT. Because he is not! The players of today are soft. There is no defense. I’d rather watch College Football and basketball before watching the NBA
The money ($500k-$1M/player) wouldn’t make that much of a difference because almost all of the All-Stars have max contracts. During the In-Season tournament, certain high-profile players like Lebron were saying they were playing hard so that the guys at the end of the bench could get paid.
This “Pay them more” solution is completely out of touch and the most delusional and privileged point of view to have. These guys play harder in summer work outs against each other, but could care less when it comes to competing for fans. Give them more money to care about fans and to have competitive pride? Got it If anything, give them a break during this week with only All Star Saturday night (minus the dunk contest) and move the game to the summer. Otherwise get rid of the whole game
Anyone who watched the all Stars just proved fans are sheep for supporting the NBA. This new generation of pros are showing its not about the fans, they mean nothing to them. Why pay them more than the millions they are already being paid to entertain.
The Nba Season should be 82 games . .plus 1 all star game. Which ever conference wins, its 1 W for all teams. And 1 loss for all teams on losing side. ! PROBLEM SOLVED. ITS NOW A REAL GAME THAT MATTERS.
@@brandoblack7318 No it isn’t how is they fault they didn’t get voted in to an all star game they have 2 players that could’ve very well made it but since they didn’t they have to have a loss added to their record for that come on now that’s foolishness
@@brandoblack7318 Same with teams like the Jazz or Rockets 1 loss could determine if they have a chance at making the playoffs or not just because they don’t have a player in the all star game they should be penalized for that
Biggest thing no matter what you suggest is same problem. Players have less pride/are cool with losing now. I think so many teams embracing tanking and fans celebrating losing played a role in this too. Players enter the league thinking "losing doesn't matter" unless it's about playoff games/playoff races
Taxpayers pay for the stadiums and we’re trying to give millionaires more millions so they play harder and there are folks out here that can’t get groceries? Y’all what are we doing?
i feel like that would also benefit the NBA as a whole. example, Kawhi is on a contending team right now, and lets say they win the ASG. Clippers knowing that they are on a contending team, and can possibly make the Finals will increase the intensity and competitiveness in games.
Or players should just feel honored to be selected and excited to perform for all of the fans. You know, how it used to be. lol I would rather cancel all of it rather than incentivize them more when they don't even pretend to care. It should be for the love of the game, and respect of the league.
Why should they get more money to play in the All Star game. If they do not want to play hard then eliminate the all star game. It should be an honor to play in the All Star game. As a fan for so many years waiting to see an All Star game, from now on I really do not care. To waste my time watching a live game I will probably watch the replay on you tube. Screw the networks and the NBA. Also Its time to get a new comisionar.
Its nothing new. The game has forever been trash for the first 3 quarters and unless if we get a close game it’ll be bad in the 4th too. Just looks worse with todays nba of the trey ball. They should scrap the full 48 min game with mini tournament games like rising stars.
There forgetting that the reason the inseason tournament worked was not just because of the money it was because the games still counted towards the regular season record
All Star game/weekend is not competition. It's just exhibition. You want competition, wait till Thursday and they'll be back for that. It's more than half way through the season and these guys need a little break, take it easy and enjoy themselves a little bit. I don't understand this expectation about competition. I understand what Antman said.
I have never seen a group of athletes who do everything in their power to harm their league, but the league continually turns around and rewards them with record-breaking salaries. These guys don't want to play regular season games, they don't want to play an in-season tournament, they don't want to compete in the all-star game, They want to sign long term contracts but still be free agents and go where they want to go. They want to demand trades they want to demand firing of coaches. It's insane!
I agree. But in my opinion the in-season tournament was stupid and unnecessary. Most teams didn't give af. And why would you make the 82 game season even harder.
@griffinpeters38 I'm OK with the in-season tournament because they use regular season games. The Championship game is the only extra game. If it was extra games for the entire tournament, then I'm with you. I would say it's a bad idea. I just don't understand why these guys are not motivated to compete. NFL players are the least protected, play the most violent sport, but are willing to leave blood on the field equally week 1, week 8, week 17 for a league that treats them like cattle and considers them disposable. It's crazy.
@@moustaphamoussabouh9985lol yeah I don't understand the logic lol. Because they are not all stars I guess they don't like watching basketball like all of us now lol. Good point.
Amazing... It's sad, so sad. These so called professional athletes are already highly compensated and lazier than ever. So Pay them more as as incentive? What da!

Giving them money created this effort problem in the first place lol... and now you want to give them more money? What are you going to do in 10 years when that million dollars no longer motivates them? Give them 2 million? That's just dumb to think giving them more money fixes anything... it doesn't it just prolongs the problem... if the players don't care then just cancel the all star weekend
The past few all star games prove why I don't watch and support Jokic, Luka and others during the season. Mike, Iverson, Vince Carter, Shaq, Kobe, Jason Kidd and others would NEVER disrespect the game and fans like the new guys do. #HallsSportsAlmanac #HallofFameProductions #DubaNation
Luka & Jokic were two of the worst ones. With Larry Bird in the stands, the man both are compared to the most. They should have wanted to play hard just because he was there. Instead the left him shaking his head.
25 -50 Million a year an endorsements and no effort is PATHETIC!!! Worst 4th quarter effort in All Star history that i saw on Defense. No Pride whatsoever!!!
Growing up to me the all star game was always one of the most anticipated games for me. I couldn’t wait to see all the stars play together and it was always amazing to watch. But this was a complete joke. I will not waste my time to watch another allstar game again if it’s going to be like this.

@@DADON99 that is true,and is a sad reality,
But hear me out..
All the suggested solutions seemed to be rewarding the players for not caring about the game or the fans. They don't deserve any kind of financial incentive for the game. How about the winning team wins home court advantage in the finals for their respective conference? Ridiculous yes, but at least that would theoretically inspire legitimate effort for a real purpose.
That's a good idea to have them compete for home court advantage in the finals. That would never happen, though.
Agree 100%
@@Klonopin365if it works then why did mlb abolish it dummy?
just cut their wages
viewership is down.. meaning sponsorship money goes down which means your taking pay cuts untill you make it entertaining and get viewership back up
MLB tried that. Didn't work.
I've heard it before the dunk contest needs to be made public. It'll need to have some organization but you find 10 contestants, put up 100k. Watch these dudes go CRAZY 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why should you pay All-Stars players who make millions already to compete in a game that they said they already love you shouldn't pay for them to compete
A ring? No way. Theres that lack of loyalty and pride
They already get rings for all star selections and have for decades.
Never heard of that.
They need MORE money to compete... 200mil 300mil not enough?!?
Keep saying it 90s Era is the best
Yup and the early 2000s
Early 2000's were legit too. Around 2007ish is when things started to go downhill. I don't even know fully how or why, but it for sure changed for the worse.
This All-Star Game was terrible & it had been for the last ten years. The last competitive All-Star Game was 2003
So you mean 20 years?
2020 was pretty good.
This your math 👀
2020 was good too
That was the best all star game ever... DOUBLE OT... Real high level of basketball
Yeah just feed their greed more 😂

Money wont work man. You shouldnt have to tell athletes to compete. Especially since this game is meant to be for the fans. Telling players to play for the fans shouldnt be a thing.
Try this: 12 Players per Side equals 8 Three on Three Pick Up Games. Make it into a small night of tournament.
This is actually a really good idea
No matter how you put it…they aren’t competitive…
Great content for basketball enthusiasts! This channel covers everything from player interviews to game breakdowns, keeping me hooked for hours
Stop it
honestly they should do only winning team gets payed.
bingo
most of the stars don't really care about the little money that they would get paid. the in season tournament incentives worked because everyone on the team got the money
@@pkboolean Thats why i think if only the winning team got money it might make them compete. Aint no one wanna spend all weekend doing things and not getting paid. 1 million isn't gonna make anyone play harder. The thought of not getting anything while the other team gets your money might work.
also its stupid to reward players for not trying with cash. They might screw up all star weekend even more to incentivize the league to pay them more.
U think Lebron kd & luka cares bout a “measly” 500k-1M$ lol this can’t be fixed with $
Stopped watching all star game for 15 years
Use the format of the rising stars, mini tournaments with G league and rising stars, these guys would force competition.
McClung put on a dunking clinic. His dunks are in the top tier of NBA dunks.
Perk: “I was close to making it one time”
No you weren’t, my dude.
THEY DONT RESPECT THE GAME ANYMORE 😢
First thing to do is to remove the 3 point shot so they go back to playing basketball! That game was embarrassing beyond!
i said the same thing. make them go back to basketball without the three point line. all 3 point plays have to be and ones, no matter how far you shoot it from it will be two points
It's easy to make the All Star weekend mean something, remove the All Star Game and have an All Star selection instead. Just like the All NBA selection at the end of the year.
Keep all the activities on Saturday and on Sunday, will be the In Season tournament finals.
We're holding on to something that will never be the same as it use to be because of nostalgia.
The In Season tournament was a good idea but the finals can gain so much more by being on the All Star weekend.
Nah, I like this idea. The Pacers were in the this year championship too! In front of Oscar, Larry, And Reggie? That would've been 💥🤯
😂😂😂
All-Star Weekend is broken, man. Will never watch it again. I only cared to play my newly acquired $250 512 GB LCD Steam Deck last night.
I would rather cancel the All-Star weekend than pay these athletes more. They are already getting generational wealth each contract they recieve. Being an allstar is an honor. If that honor and wanting to perform for the fans isn't enough motivation to play, then cancel it. It's so disrespectful, tone deaf and I think rewarding them with more money to do what they should already be doing is a terrible idea.
💯
The All Star weekend as a whole is nothing more than a money grab. It’s not enjoyable and also future all star weekends should never be done in Indy.. ever again lmao
Once the fans stop showing up then changes will be made but that isn’t happening anytime soon seemingly
I disagree on the Indy part. I believe ANY city that has a team should get the chance to host the All Star weekend. You can't keep rewarding the same cities.
Yes, lets have it in Las Vegas or LA, just like with everything else. Great way to show 90% of the fans that you don't care about them. lol This is actual brain rot, as if fans from other states don't deserve to have this stuff in their city because its not one of the 3-4 major cities. That is so out of touch. Indiana is one of the best states when it cames to basketball.
@@YerpDerp17 Finally someone making sense
@@YerpDerp17 not really
Pay them? That's not enough incentive. They're already banking big dollars.
Pay them ??? Why are you still watching?
This Rivers dude may have a bright future as a commentator. He's a good (even stellar player when healthy/motivated), but his personality shines here.
then people should stop voting on all those players that doesn't care about the all star.
Perk you’re the main person pushing this type of play. Stop the cap. And if you felt that it was that bad (which it was that bad), stop saying LeBron is the GOAT. Because he is not! The players of today are soft. There is no defense. I’d rather watch College Football and basketball before watching the NBA
The money ($500k-$1M/player) wouldn’t make that much of a difference because almost all of the All-Stars have max contracts. During the In-Season tournament, certain high-profile players like Lebron were saying they were playing hard so that the guys at the end of the bench could get paid.
kobe, AI, KG, Duncan, Vince, jordan, shaq, dwade those were the times🥲🥲. Now it's bunch of show guys
Rivers and Perk hating from outside the club you can’t even get in 😂
pay all stars more money? are you kidding me
*They're trying their best to avoid the World vs the NBA convo.*
That wouldn’t really change anything
This “Pay them more” solution is completely out of touch and the most delusional and privileged point of view to have. These guys play harder in summer work outs against each other, but could care less when it comes to competing for fans. Give them more money to care about fans and to have competitive pride? Got it
If anything, give them a break during this week with only All Star Saturday night (minus the dunk contest) and move the game to the summer. Otherwise get rid of the whole game
How would Rivers know?
Anyone who watched the all Stars just proved fans are sheep for supporting the NBA. This new generation of pros are showing its not about the fans, they mean nothing to them. Why pay them more than the millions they are already being paid to entertain.
I pirated like always, so my view didn't add to their numbers.
The Nba Season should be 82 games . .plus 1 all star game. Which ever conference wins, its 1 W for all teams. And 1 loss for all teams on losing side. ! PROBLEM SOLVED. ITS NOW A REAL GAME THAT MATTERS.
Some teams don’t have have all star representatives on their teams the Kings for example
@@zaveionchambers3809 that sounds like a Sacremento Kings Problem, and not an NBA problem .
@@brandoblack7318 No it isn’t how is they fault they didn’t get voted in to an all star game they have 2 players that could’ve very well made it but since they didn’t they have to have a loss added to their record for that come on now that’s foolishness
@@brandoblack7318 Same with teams like the Jazz or Rockets 1 loss could determine if they have a chance at making the playoffs or not just because they don’t have a player in the all star game they should be penalized for that
Biggest thing no matter what you suggest is same problem. Players have less pride/are cool with losing now. I think so many teams embracing tanking and fans celebrating losing played a role in this too. Players enter the league thinking "losing doesn't matter" unless it's about playoff games/playoff races
Search parties continue to look for Ramona's point. No updates at this time.
Taxpayers pay for the stadiums and we’re trying to give millionaires more millions so they play harder and there are folks out here that can’t get groceries? Y’all what are we doing?
They should change the rule that whichever conf win takes the Final home court advantage.
Nah.
I've been saying the same thing...that WILL fix it.
i feel like that would also benefit the NBA as a whole. example, Kawhi is on a contending team right now, and lets say they win the ASG. Clippers knowing that they are on a contending team, and can possibly make the Finals will increase the intensity and competitiveness in games.
Or players should just feel honored to be selected and excited to perform for all of the fans. You know, how it used to be. lol I would rather cancel all of it rather than incentivize them more when they don't even pretend to care. It should be for the love of the game, and respect of the league.
Why should they get more money to play in the All Star game. If they do not want to play hard then eliminate the all star game. It should be an honor to play in the All Star game. As a fan for so many years waiting to see an All Star game, from now on I really do not care. To waste my time watching a live game I will probably watch the replay on you tube. Screw the networks and the NBA. Also Its time to get a new comisionar.
Its nothing new. The game has forever been trash for the first 3 quarters and unless if we get a close game it’ll be bad in the 4th too. Just looks worse with todays nba of the trey ball. They should scrap the full 48 min game with mini tournament games like rising stars.
Make the game World vs USA. Make bragging rights a thing again
You have $50M players and they want more money?
Larry Bird said "leave the game the same way you found it". The Lebron era is doing the opposite. The next generation is going to pay the price.
make it like baseball regardless of the record the winner of the ASG gets money and home advantage in the finals
I bet they compete if the winner just the finals ,that’s the only way bro
Just take out the Sunday game they don't care, and leave the 3pt contest and dunk contest
Worst all star weekend ever
There forgetting that the reason the inseason tournament worked was not just because of the money it was because the games still counted towards the regular season record
Done watching NBA
Done watching the NBA allstar game for sure..
Rivers said 1mil and an iced out Superbowl type ring. Gtfoh
Exactly, he was bogus af for that 😂
Winner gets home court advantage in the finals - plus 100k.
U think these gazillionares concerned about getting 100k?
@@anthonytaylor7928 nope that’s why I said home court. The money is more incentive toward first timers
The winner ALREADY gets 100k
They will laugh about 100k
Like Baseball hun?
Just pay the winners and not loser
All Star game/weekend is not competition. It's just exhibition. You want competition, wait till Thursday and they'll be back for that. It's more than half way through the season and these guys need a little break, take it easy and enjoy themselves a little bit. I don't understand this expectation about competition. I understand what Antman said.
then not expect fans to watch it, as simple as that
Then just cancel it..
Yeah except players are starting to not take regular season that serious anymore either
I have never seen a group of athletes who do everything in their power to harm their league, but the league continually turns around and rewards them with record-breaking salaries. These guys don't want to play regular season games, they don't want to play an in-season tournament, they don't want to compete in the all-star game, They want to sign long term contracts but still be free agents and go where they want to go. They want to demand trades they want to demand firing of coaches. It's insane!
I agree. But in my opinion the in-season tournament was stupid and unnecessary. Most teams didn't give af. And why would you make the 82 game season even harder.
@griffinpeters38 I'm OK with the in-season tournament because they use regular season games. The Championship game is the only extra game. If it was extra games for the entire tournament, then I'm with you. I would say it's a bad idea. I just don't understand why these guys are not motivated to compete. NFL players are the least protected, play the most violent sport, but are willing to leave blood on the field equally week 1, week 8, week 17 for a league that treats them like cattle and considers them disposable. It's crazy.
This is spot on
What I hate the most is the smiles for simple no defensive plays
Of course he said the Sabrina thing was good. He has to say that
Non all stars talking about the all star game 😂
Non NBA person talking about former NBA players

Amazing... It's sad, so sad. These so called professional athletes are already highly compensated and lazier than ever. So Pay them more as as incentive? What da!
Wow 2 players qualified to talk about anything all star 😂😂😂
yess sir.. These two clowns🤣
They not lying tho
The Hoop ASG used to be 'MUST SEE TV!'
Now it's justa "Pop Game" (i.e. Load Management)!
Don't annouce who has the most votes; after tallying up the numbers call the players and ask do they want to come! If they don't, they are NOT an AS and the next on the list is asked!
Hongry players enjoying all the bennies of other celebs, swag, free travel and acclaim will come! Those that don't will watch it and be jealous and want to come next year --- all this without giving away more 💵💰💸 to Multi-Millionaires already!
You tryna tell me Wemby, De'Aaron, Russ, DeRozan and them boys don't wanna go!
Those who don't . . . don't invite 'em, and they can't be called an "All-Star" for that year!
And can't be called an XX-time All-Star!
That'll fix it, cuz it messes with they 🧀!
#yafeelme
None of these guys have ever been an NBA All-Star, just like about 97.8% of the people in the comment section.
You funny 🤣
Giving them money created this effort problem in the first place lol... and now you want to give them more money? What are you going to do in 10 years when that million dollars no longer motivates them? Give them 2 million? That's just dumb to think giving them more money fixes anything... it doesn't it just prolongs the problem... if the players don't care then just cancel the all star weekend
All that for a bunch of players complaining about having to play at least 65 games.
The past few all star games prove why I don't watch and support Jokic, Luka and others during the season.
Mike, Iverson, Vince Carter, Shaq, Kobe, Jason Kidd and others would NEVER disrespect the game and fans like the new guys do.

Luka & Jokic were two of the worst ones. With Larry Bird in the stands, the man both are compared to the most. They should have wanted to play hard just because he was there. Instead the left him shaking his head.
25 -50 Million a year an endorsements and no effort is PATHETIC!!! Worst 4th quarter effort in All Star history that i saw on Defense. No Pride whatsoever!!!
Instead of giving them money, lets deduct their money. If the TV ratings for All star event is poor = 5% off your salary for rest of the year
Growing up to me the all star game was always one of the most anticipated games for me. I couldn’t wait to see all the stars play together and it was always amazing to watch. But this was a complete joke. I will not waste my time to watch another allstar game again if it’s going to be like this.
A bankroll isn’t gonna move them. They have to have players show some pride & WANT to compete against each other. These dudes are too friendly
