    Why can't they just have east vs west?

    Another one of many reasons I have given up on nba. It's become a mickey mouse hip hop Disneyland.Total joke I cant understand how people pay hundreds of dollars to watch this crap. Grew up in the 80s watching basketball at its prime... It's so bad I'd rather watch NASCAR and I do, which is pretty sad.
    Team Lebron vs team Steph
    get the fcuk out of here.

    Yep it's sad. 80's and 90's NBA was freaking awesome.

    IT is still the very best basketball to watch still to this day... but all of the appointments around the game is trash. The marketeers seem to be telling middle America that they do not want our money.

    I don't mind watching them play for fun and set-up cool and unique passes and plays. I don't want to see them chuck up 150 Three-balls competing to see who can make the farthest one.

    Not 100% sure, but I think they started doing it because one year the game ended in a tie due to the fact that they ran out of pitchers, so they made that rule to put pressure on the teams to make sure there was a winner. I don't think they do it anymore.

    too many shooters in west... with little D being played. west would win no doubt

    who won last year tho? maybe im wrong but PG now in west, Butler... etc

    close game cause steph and harden are a combined 2/16 from distance

    It was a success because James' team came back from 15 down at the end. If team Steph put their foot down this would have been one of the worst ever. Props to Harden & Steph for letting them back in, it makes sense for everyone ..kerching! $$$$$

    kind of unrelated and i know its been said b4 but ive watched some of the interviews this past week or so these guys collectively might be the dumbest group of pro athletes ever

    actually heard one say "people have no idea what we go through, we have to travel from hot to cold climates"

    Agree, hard to handicap when team is named for Lebrick. Am following college more than NBA.

    I for one dont watch anymore, period. Just dont get why they would take the west vs east outta the equation. Whats next team diddy vs team kanye? Watched the dunk contest on taped delay. Besides Nance dressing up and doing his dads dunk that was wack too.

    There are certainly reasons to dislike the NBA, but eschewing the East/West All-Star format isn't one of them.
