    NBA All Star Game

    I'm just speaking for myself, I'm allowed to vent.

    Can the media STFU already about this meaningless exhibition game that, I don't want to say nobody gives a shit about, but I couldn't give a rats ass about a game where both sides play matador defense. We all know how many points scored there will be. 818 points.

    Honest to God, it's draft pick this, and captain that 24/7

    And while I'm at it, can these overpaid gazillionaires that didn't make either squad I don't give a fuk if you think you deserve to make the team, stop bitching and acting all butt hurt, a) it's not a good look for a professional athlete b) I can neither empathize nor sympathize

    Do the players realllllyyyyy care if they make the team or not.... I don't think so. It's not going to make their pay cut any less or make a team not want him on their roster. Its all bullshit and throwing it in our face that they care.

    Only all star game worth watching is baseball. I do like to watch the 3 point and dunk contest as well but I never watch the game. Worst is the NFL, they need to get rid of that game.

    They do care and when it comes to max and supermax contracts all star appearances can affect how much you can make

    I guess it depends what media you choose. I usually have the TV on FoxNews, or some car show, or silly sitcom. I'm on the internet doing pleny of research on capping games, or posting here, or many other random things online. I have not heard a damn thing about the NBA all star game except from the few threads here on SBR

    So maybe you should stop watching that useless espn crap. They always pound something stupid - they used to be a really great brand that is really complete crap now. Watch FS1 if you MUST WATCH sports crap all the time. Far better programming

    Yeah I don't get it. Like who cares who picked who first? Does the NBA and media seriously think that changing the format to where captains pick teams will actually make people care about this? I think in the future they will televise the captains picking teams, which could be fun, but other than that who cares.

    I agree with you, but it’s too bad that my opinion doesn’t matter much. These guys make a lot of money.
