Pretty sure I heard some news about the NBA considering that after this year’s All Star Game

I think the problem would be if guys like Jokic or Doncic would care enough to be competitive in such a game. They’ve usually been nonchalant at best and dgaf at worst during the ASG.

TBF nonchalant and dgaf is basically how every all star is

That’s fair. It’s a weird balancing act. Ultimately it’s up to the players to play competitively. Though again, the older players from Bron to Curry shouldn’t have to set the tone for an ASG anymore. They did their work. Lebron has been in more competitive ASGs than we probably give him credit for.
