They should have a stipulation that the winner of the All-Star game between the Western Conference or Eastern Conference gets to have the conference Champion host the NBA Finals and the winner of the NBA Emirates Cup gets an extra lottery pick that they can't trade. And also as a baseball fan, f**k you for saying that the stipulation that the MLB had for the All-Star game was drastic because it actually gave us some of the best moments in baseball history.

I think, by and large, all-star games are kind of a relic of a bygone era. The novelty used to be "oh wow you're seeing all these big stars you don't normally see and they're playing together" but in the era of a) superteams where plenty of superstars are teammates and b) social media and easily accessible highlights...what value do they really have beyond "tradition"? nobody remembers anything that happened in an all-star game proper, usually only the support events. EDIT: I see the 3v3/2v2 proposal and...NHL is doing it, it's not working there either haha

Add another layer to it, have the top 10 teams in both conferences play in a 3v3 single game elimination tournament. Make it a first to 15, 1s and 2s game, and for players that aren't on teams in the top 10 in their conference have them as free agents that can be picked up by any team.

i remember in the mid 90's when McDonald's had an NBA All Star Game voting poll. u read magazines about themselves, u feel a sense of personal connection with the players back then without social media and ur vote actually mattered. SLAM Magazines was the shit the nba players had a sense of aura larger than life something that u strive to be. now it's feels scripted all of the modern nba players cry online making fake accounts to troll, trolls. the street ball format doesn't fit the allstar game.

As far as the injury concern and if it’s ever happened, imma just point out Nick Nurse played Kemba over 40+ minutes in the 2020 all star game after resting his knees the prior games to the break, and Kemba was never the same after that Besides that, can’t think of any significant ones

The 2v2 and 3v3 is a good idea, cus you're getting something you don't normally get, and so if they'er not playing 100%, they're still giving you something to watch

This year's ASG simultaneously set a new HIGH in points scored (211) and a new LOW in watchability. THIS GAME SUCKED!

Tfw when the ad I got for the video was for the nba all star game

I like your idea of a 2v2 or 3v3, heck throw in some 1v1! Let the players decide who plays which. This could be fun.

I can't believe what has happened to this league. The all star game used to be an event. The only difference between it and a regular game was that they made sure they didn't do anything to hurt each other. It was a real game with the best players in the league going against each other in the greatest pickup game. Now it's just an overhypped shoot around.

They need to add the Triple stacked hoop from MTV's Rock and Jock, the lowest basket was regular if you hit the middle one it was 25 and the highest was 50 (teams were allowed 1 per game), Gary Payton put up 151 points in a game. You could lower those to 10 and 20 a piece but it would be more fun.

the players are too soft nowadays to do that

Funnily enough, I believe fans and the media in the internet age have some responsibility in this. Let's say, for example, Paul George decides to try and ball out in the all-star game. No one is going to give a shit. All the discourse would be "he's not doing it in the playoffs". It was similar with the in season tournament, "it's not the NBA championship so it doesn't matter". It's not that the players have no responsibility in this, but if everything you hear in the media is that it doesn't matter because it's not the championship, well, both the teams and the players are better off not trying at all and resting for the games that actually matter. A star does not get his contract to play the all-star game, he gets his contract to win a championship for his team. Now, to be clear, I do care about these things. I want players to compete and I will give props for any game you ball out in, be it all-star game, regular season game or in season tournament game, but I completely understand that for the players and their teams it's not worth it most of the time.

3:49 They said they’re gonna treat it as more of a game this year Adam Silver said on the Pat McAfee Show that they told players they want them to take it more seriously and better defense. Then Tyrese Haliburton went on the Pat McAfee show and he said before the season league officials met with every team and told them they wanted them to tale the In-Season Tournament seriously (they did) and take the All-Star game seriously (so let’s hope they do lol).

I'd be interested in seeing 'seconds' trialled. The stars who get selected can choose another player to represent them if they're so worried about injuries. Still show up for the weekend and be apart of it; but wouldn't that be something to see?

Thats a good point about the drew and summer league stuff

8:57 perfectly said why would a fan care about them playing over money- they already rich

The Algorithm Gods have spoken, this hit my feed just as the 1st Quarter of the All Star Game started. Both teams currently have 40 points with 2 minutes to go in the First Quarter and I'm already over it.

i was not expecting cold war BO mp music 🔥

Why tf is Dame starting. He shouldn't event be a reserve

I expect there to be load management in effect and none of the starters are going to be available, all sitting on the sidelines in pedestrian clothes. Result would be the Pistons vs Wizards for the All Star game

Hell, I’d say that they should make it so each of the top 10 teams has a guaranteed AS, while they have 5 wild card spots. Then you have the team-wide payout that y’all talked about, and it could really help some young players

Make it a full exhibition game. If they aren't creative in shooting 3s or dunk. It doesn't count. It would at least be funny as hell. The MVP will go to whoever brought the most swag and style.

I loved the Elam Ending. Made every all star game end in a game winner. Even if it was a blowout it was exciting to see the last shot

Yalls next video or a future video should be that the NBA has a jersey problem, yall talked about it but every team feels like it has 5 or 6 jerseys a year and always have 2 or 3 new ones

they just need some interesting gimmick like how the skills challenge had themed groups (Giannis and his bros, rookies, etc.)

My thoughts exactly. You guys are true basketball svantssssss

Y’all should do a video explaining what the the Drew League is!

Do you play out the all star game in 2k franchise mode?

Just put some real stakes to it. They are there representing their conference. So lets say the west wins, all western conference teams gets a game in the winning column and the east looses a game. Something like that, something that really impacts the season for all teams.

What if the winning conference gets to host the finals? Seems like an easy fix that gives the game high stakes

i got an idea whichever team wins the East vs West All star game the conference that wins gets homecourt advantage in the NBA FINALS

I think the allstar games decline has to do with the actual games I the season looking exactly like the allstar game with no defense and effort at all back in like 2016 (last good alltstar year in my opinion) the effort on defense was much higher during the actual season and it was nice to see the all stars play soft on all star weekend bc they earned it. And nowadays with all the rest days these dudes be taking they already have had that rest weekend pretty much

Guys phone it in on a random Tuesday night on the road in December - not the ALLSTAR game

It's east vs west again, which is very good. The draft version was a great idea, but nothing to be done over and over again. They should implememt a veteran vs young guys aspect to every competition like dunk, 3 point contest and so on. Like 3 vets and 3 young players in each of them. And by vets I mean superstar vets.

Wake me up when the conference finals get here.

I just think the NBA in general needs a reset, not in the players but in the rules of how the game is played. everyone basically plays the same way so more people are dropping 40. Everyone dunks the same so the contests are boring. Even the all start game and playoffs are boring in people eyes and it didn’t becoming like this til after 2017.

They should move the all star game to sfter the finals. Let it be a last hurrah celebrating the season. Let the guys who got bounced in the early rounds get some revenge. Let the good players on bad teams get some time to shine.

I think one solution would be to just play a quarter of basketball. That’s it. 12 minutes of play after the contests. that would lead to smaller margins and that, I think, brings back the competition. I know it’s impossible because the ASG brings lots of money in ads and tickets, but stil…

As you said with what the MLB did. East vs West. Winnner gets homecourt advantage in the finals

Maybe they should take the In Game tournaments Idea and make it Division Vs Division maybe ? Each Division Picks it's all Star team from players on teams in that division and they go up against The other Divisions , Short games of Maybe 8 minutes a Half .... I think that added onto the already flourishing In season tournament could be a lot more entertaining cause now each Division will have a Point to prove

The thing that makes it so boring IS THE LACK OF DEFENSE ! Giannis is probably the ONLY nba player that plays defense . I miss the 1 on 1 with defense not just a scoring buffet smh.

2024 - west: 186, east: 211. I wouldn’t scrap the game. Maybe pick the best of the NBA, like the current dream team and have them play the best of college. College players still have something to prove and would force actual play. Worst case scenario it’s an exhibition and no worse than the game is today.

How about this idea: Since it's east vs west now you can say that which ever conference win then every team who has a all star on the winning team gets a free win as a reward for both players and thejr respective teams

Steph Curry is the only person that keeps the All Star Game exciting, last year’s was so boring cuz Curry wasn’t playing but 2022 and 2021 that shit was crazy to see Curry pulling from half court every other play 😂

Maybe for the charity aspect add like 10,000 dollars extra for every block or steal. Cause in 2020 i vividly remember kyle taking a charge for his teams cause. Yeah the players dont need the money but those people the charities are trying to help do. Also yes individual jerseys need to return. They can have the same colored warmups but Make the All Star Game Colorful Again

What if all the players in the all-star game had to put in 5-10% of their salary for that season & the pot is divided among the winning team?

Yall missed the best game we could possibly have: Team USA (American All Stars) vs Team World (Foreign stars). Luka, SGA, Jokic, Giannis, Embiid vs Lebron, Curry, Tatum, AD, and Booker? That's a game right there!! Although I like the pick up game tourney, they can spread out the games to be like an all day thing, plenty of time for ad space, brings back a competitive edge too.

The other events are ok, 3 pt contest, dunk contest. The unwatchable ones are the skills competition and all the star game.

If they played a game of crunch that would b dope AF

I liked the 2017 all star game and how it was always kind of a show personally. The dunk contest has definitely fallen off, three point contest is alright

The way I see it, if you put the all star game right after the nba finals it might help a little with the effort in the game

It's one game just play hard for a half is all we are asking for at this point. Like why don't these players care, do we need to add money incentives for being in these different events and even then that's sad

I really think that they should do The World VS USA. It’ll start a debate on if the world has caught up with the USA. Guarantee American players will play harder.

All the stars doing the 3-points contest but not the dunk contest makes me sick.

Maybe if the All Star game was the All League defensive team vs the All League offensive team, then it might get interesting

The 2024 all-star sums up to what nba is today no pride, no competitiveness, no rivalry, no defense just timbaland shoes and fancy coat convention what a joke
