    I think it should just be a 1 day break with the All-Star game being played. And regular season continue immediately the following day. Its tiresome but there's a reason these guys are paid millions !

    Why these all star game overs are money... They even tried to play defense a bit in the 4th was odd

    Agreed. So laughable that teams are playing b2b2b but they are still playing an AllStar game. Anyother league would not play an all star game in a strike shortened year.

    Team Europe versus Team USA in hockey rules. Though personally I'd like to see team Africa take on team Antarctica myself.

    At least the NBA all-star game isn't as bad as the pro bowl and have you even considered how cool a 276 point over bet would look on your spread sheet? Maybe winning a bill on the game might be what it takes to turn that 50k sink hole around...

    Would have gone under if they remembered there was a minute on the clock and not allow Wall to showcase his skills.

    Only thing fun about All-Star Weekend is the 3 Point contest and Slam Dunk contest. Sadly the dunk contest will be dead by next year

    The one good thing about All Star weekend is that it leaves me more time to hang out with my kids, and less time turning the boob tube on.

    Dunk and 3 point contest were awesome back in the day. Bird, Jordan, Dominique, Webb, SkyWalker.....

    Now there's simply nothing original left to do.

    The game will be fine

    I enjoy watching the three pt contest and the skills challenge. Fun to bet on too

    And there are certain givens in life...death, taxes, over in the nba and nfl all star games, under in MLB asg and tt warrior will always be a fat slob.

    And jj I'm 9000% sure you didn't know wall could dunk like that til last night there are probably 30 guys better in the league who can't be bothered to enter. Risk of embarrassment outweighs reward of winning.

    Agree. They should have skipped it and added more games to the season. The season is too short to name all-stars and it's just going to make the best players more jet lagged having to take another flight.

    NBA All-Star game is a social event for black people. Can't get rid of it. The Pro Bowl on the other hand...

    These jabroni's will have better dunks than Jordan, Nique, Lebron, (insert your star).

    But it will still be boring to the average fan these days.

    you have to be impressed by Kyrie Irving and I think some players need a break. This schedule is running them ragged.

    Dude, what do you know that we don't? Jordan, Nique, Erving, and Vince Carter are what this competition is all about.

    The Sprite amateurs dunk contest (the "Sprite Slam Dunk Showdown") was amazing (as it usually is). If you want to see real dunks, watch that.

    If they canned the all star game Orlando would riot. The built a new arena and people were counting on it. Once Howard leaves they burn the city down anyway.
