🙄🙄 How many times has this dude and others blamed LeBron for “destroying” the dunk contest and all star game. The amnesia on SAS to save face is hysterical at this point.

FIRST: Teams started load management and tanking for a high draft pick.
THEN: players realize that they have to win a chip or be ridiculed so the regular season is just prep and the allstar game is a chore

If you don’t expect play off intensity then cancel the allstar game because there’s no point.
