Or you could stop babying these players so ppl actually try at the game. Man I use to love the NBA but slowly Adam silver is just killing it and enabling it.

David Stern (RIP) was principal Wartz. Adam Silver is Mr Simmons

The best allstar game is baseball. Best of the best going 100%. Basketball and football all stars are a joke. Get rid of it .

I really feel what they saying…..but they act like every single morning on first take they got all the energy in the world hahahahahahah. If you could get paid more to do less…wouldnt you?? Thats literally the American way. Work smarter not harder. These players are starting to realize their worth meaning there’s only so many people in the world who can do what they do. Some of y’all call outta work because you got the sniffles hahah. GTFOH
Not everybody is Kobe and Jordan type guy who want to compete night in and night out. Some guys just wanna go hoop and look good doing it haha. Theres 82 games in a season with back to backs so they need to quit acting like they care for their health. Have y’all ever done a high intensity exercises routine and tried to fly on a plane after??? It’s terrible for recovery. These older cats may be talking about they they did…but does anyone really talk about where most of them end of physically or mentally? Im not really on either side but sometimes people who talk for a living really forget if they played or dont even know what its like.

Nobody cares about the All Star cuz for at least 20 years now taking heads got on TV and said the only thing that matters in the NBA are championships. NOW YALL ARE SURPRISED PLAYERS DON’T CARE?
Media moved the goal post on what accolades matter. Yall made every conversation about championships or nothing. The media especially ESPN is the reason no one cares.

For once agree with Stephen A, today’s players led by LeBron are a disgrace. All star game has been so unwatchable due to the soft players, in the past was played between competitive men. Today’s players are overpaid and soft, nba made worse by such a poor commission who doesn’t realise how he’s made the product so much worse.
