The NBA All Star Game has become less and less entertaining over the past couple of years, and it’s sparking the debate of if the NBA should keep trying to fix it or if it might be time to try something new.
There were plenty of entertaining moments from the NBA All Star Weekend, with Mac McClung having some of the most electric dunks we’ve seen from an NBA Dunk Contest in years. The NBA Three Point Contest was at least remotely entertaining, with Damian Lillard securing his first win against Buddy Hield and Tyrese Haliburton, but the All Star Game itself felt underwhelming an lackluster.
The NBA All Star 2023 Weekend was just another underwhelming entry in a long line of boring All Star games.

Thats the reason why i am not watching the All star game, for me its a waste of time to watch those games. The one that i am watching is the 3 point and slam dunk contest as thats the exciting part in the said event
It's not even the lack of defence. Playing no defence is fine if the players are moving at 90-100% speed. But those dudes were doing their best "grandma got Nordic walking sticks for Christmas" cosplay. Celebrity game is more competitive and I hate myself for saying that but it's true.
What can be done? I was thinking that maybe a small 3×3 tournament would be better, this way they could also take more players so there would be less "Fox/Dlo/Brunson should be an all star" takes. Maybe NBA donating some huge prize for charity in the name of the winning team would motivate guys (or for example team cap would designate a charity and whoever wins gets 70% of the prize for their charity and 30% goes to losers charity). I'm sure something can be done.
Here comes the hateful white backlash, you whining and complaining about nothing chump ,and no one told you to stay fixated and watch all of that fanboy ,I did not? get a life outside of watching sports and stop talking about black men because you don't give a damn about us and the feeling is mutual .the nba is fubu for us by us and if you don't like this culture ride then go watch hockey or baseball ?sports that are mostly full of white guys ..and what Anthony Edward's the kid said was bullshit about people having just enough money to come to one game. Only the middle class and rich can afford those games which are full of white folk who made there money off of corruption and the back of slavery.
And one more thing before i go fanboy ,you are irrelevant, your not starting a movement or banning anything because like I said before ,the real nba fans can't afford to watch our people play because of systemic racism so be happy to be entertained, because if had it my way none of you would be watching sports In this damn country unless there reruns or instant classics.
nba all start game is dead… totally useless
Couldn't agree more. 1000% accurate. I can't watch the thing. I only watch the highlights the following days. Not worth my time.
Agreed the 3 point competition was much better
Next, lets try USA vs World format. We need to sign a petition for this
The NBA has always been about the star player. In the '70s the leads NBA finals was on tape delay. The NBA was not a very popular league. David Stern decided to make the league about the players. And of course because his best players were on certain teams… Those teams also were elevated. The reason why you remember the Chicago bulls, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Boston Celtics is because of their stars.
Turned it off after 5 minutes…probably the worst ALL STAR game in history…they need to go back to EAST vs WEST
Scrap it
It is not just the All Star game that is dead.
It is the NBA.
I was a huge fan but they lost me years ago with the soft play, no Defense, constant whining, joining up with your buddies to try and make a Super Friends team…
Zzzzzz….
Give me a single game of 1990s Bulls vs Knicks any day over this watered down crap.
American sports corrupted and the aim is to make money. When that’s the main goal of a sport it looses genuine competitiveness and love for the sport which makes people fall in love with it🤷🏻♂️
Look at the total over every year over is hitting .5 player minimum 2 defense players
In the past, we have players who are all about their team or their region, their state, or their town. I never understood the "Team player this" vs "Team player that" – when NBA is still Eastern Conference vs Western Conference kind of weird American competition format.
I am viewing this All Star game degradation and connecting it with the excessive "player empowerment" era – where NBA execs and media keep saying "it is all about celebrating the players" or "it is for the players" – and they indeed "own it". A player today talks too much in social media and easily gets bored when their team is no longer contending. Also, why fussing over "All Star snub"? Does it matter any more?
Players change teams like players change condoms. Of course when the game goes out of favour, they started shirking and losing interest.
On the other hand…
They played 82 games a season, plenty of back-to-back on the road games, and this thing as a "weekend break"?
Also, I would like to blame American corporation in trying to turn the sports into circus show. People there always excuse everything with capitalism and money. And that's what you get: it is just entertainment guys, the product of your system! Like people there often said: it is a feature, not a bug.
100% correct. They really have to play serious. To really know who's playing the best basketball on the court. Hope Silver can make this change.
It’s 100% the players fault. I just cannot comprehend playing a game of basketball and not playing to win. Even in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s players wanted to win. Now it’s honestly like they couldn’t care less. It’s no wonder why this Allstar game had the lowest ratings ever
😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴💤💤💤💤💤💤
Blame it to the guy who popularize load management just to get fresh in post season
Do it after the playoffs
Oh no.. past decade they've been trash. They play zero defense
Bored All star games…😭😭😭
