This is kind of cool but weird since they do actually practice and work up some plays, but the all star teams will be selected live the day of game.. but I guess it's pretty much a no defense scrimmage game

Great tv but stupid as hell imo

Dope.. gives it a pickup game feel.

Hasn't Silver delegitimized the league enough? sh*t is a joke. 90s NBA >

Every year its some new bullsh*t

i actually like this

slapped all the casuals accordingly

TriniSoldier said Great tv but stupid as hell imo

sounds stupid as hell… i mean, just like the play-in did. these guys put serious thought into every decision they make though. Silver never hit us with a “oops.”

im jackin it

Needless nonsense

This could be the best chance to do a world vs us game, it’s still not even but it’s getting close, otherwise back to east west and your team home & away unis, no more car dealership jerseys

Then maybe let the captains pick teams on the court

Leave last guy chose out there dolo like real pickup

Dumbest sh*t I've ever heard

wait...they always fu*king up ASG weekend

Silver can't be co-signing all this bullsh*t every year.

n*gga scrap the Skills Challenge, put all the money towards 3 point and Dunk Contest....hell up the prize even more if you got to but entice the real dunkers to show up. As far as the game they gotta find a way to give them more to play harder. Do some sh*t like give the winning teams players HS's money as a way to make them play harder cuz they know they really playing for they city.

Nah, they make too much money on the all star jerseys.. Same reason teams switch colors every few years nowadays

How many more gimmicks are they doing to do to try and make a meaningless game meaningful?

US Players scared to do a USA vs World ASG

LeBron
Curry
Tatum
Ja
AD

Vs

Luka
SGA
Jokic
Embiid
Giannis

It been a no defense scrimmage game lol

The live draft was cool cause you could debate which team would win depending on roster construction leading up to the game. Now you can't even really bet on the game cause you don't know who's gonna be on what team.

Dumb AF Adam Silver is a joke and trash AF.

Should to a 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 tournament like 2k…


The actual game doesn’t matter anymore… and they should have regular uniforms on like back then.

exactly. Why complain. It doesn't mean sh*t. Let them do it pickup style

Do they really not know how dope it was and we couldn’t wait for all star weekend to see East v West , players repping their team jerseys and really trying to show which conference was better all this Disney sh*t is lame

Personally I'm not a play in guy. It's gimmicky filth. We don't need 20 playoff teams what's the point of all 82 if we got 10th seeds getting in. Maybe if they reduced it to 5 or 6 playoff teams or something maybe but 70 percent of the league making the playoffs off top is crazy

Harden for MVP
