About a month ago, the NBA released a new idea in hopes of saving their All Star Game.
How does this solve the whole “the players are mailing in this game” thing?
Just because there’s some sort of fugazi tournament and “pick up” style?
I guess we’ll have to wait and see, but the whole thing seems a little unnecessary.
I’m not even someone who is anti-new ideas.
I love the Play In, I think the NBA Cup is fine and is serving its purpose.
Change and innovation don’t always have to mean things are bad.
But this All Star idea?
This may be where Adam Silver loses me.
Look at his face while all the rules are being explained.
Enough of this captains/picking rosters bullshit or fake tournament gimmicks.
Even he knows that reviving this shit
is the way to go.
The second that went away and guys just picked their friends, all the intrigue was lost.
Sure there was that one year we had Giannis vs Harden beef, but overall the product has suffered.
I’m open to that possibility.
Not everything needs to be some complicated fancy new idea or gimmick.
