I haven't googled which players or on Team Lebron and Team Stephen..Are they each from the East and West or mixed for both teams? It may create a little stronger competition between the two players.

Don't think people will care. I doubt many will watch, like the NFL and MLB all star games.

I wish they would have shown the draft. I would have held the draft 30 min before the game. Give each player reversible jerseys. Guarantee you would see some intensity if it were done this way.

Just 1 of those things that has fallen victim to so much sports being on TV.

Years ago 1 of the reasons you would watch ASG's is because you didn't really see certain guys play much during the regular season besides sportscenter highlights. Now everything is just at our fingertips.

Dunk contest even sucks now too really, only so much you can do unless someone takes off from the 3pt line which probably isn't happening anytime soon.

The league needs to go from 30 teams to 15 with a hard salary cap

Also, have a white only league. That league would kill the current nba in ratings

Yea I'm sure everyone would tune in to see a lot of jump shots and guys who can shoot free throws

They would. How many tune in to see Steph curry? His game is a white game. Solid ball handing and good shooting.

look at iu basketball under bob knight. People were tuning in for that.

teams like those beat homeboy teams all the time. I loved watching the Cornell team from a few years back that ended up going to sweet 16.

I'd imagine the players in this game could care less about the "drafting" or whether they are on Lebrons team or not. It's just a marketing stunt. The game has gotten so bad with lack of defensive effort they had to try something. They might be a little more defense only because there was zero before and it can't be less.

It's never going to be a serious game unless they offer like 500k per player for the winning team or it's all first time all stars. There is just no way to make the superstars play 100% in an exibition.

I like the new format. For the first time in a long time, it seemed like the players were interested in winning the game.
