Honestly the players don’t respect the fans enough to give any type of effort which is really telling on the type of players we have in the nba. Players don’t care about fans even tho the fans are the ones supporting the league and putting money in their pockets.
To be fair since y'all always act like y'all pay players and consistently disrespect players, I give them a full pass to not give a f. It's not like they getting respect, so why give it?
@@Dotsetcthat’s not majority of fans gang you jus be on the internet too much. The people that actually watch and go to the games and rep their teams show love to their respective players all the time
@@ctrlawpdelete8266 'their teams' and 'not the majority of fans' are two entirely different things bruh. The people that watch their teams at the game are logically the actual minority group either way bruh. Tf that has to do with 'the internet' or how many fans actually consistently disrespect players?
@@neutral_10 BS. It has zero to do with 'being on the internet' creative genius. Players say this ish all time, but you're saying its just me being on the internet?
@@ctrlawpdelete8266 he's the major part of the softness, lack of enthusiasm and integrity of the game with the rules he's implemented and giving the players all of the power in the league.
@@progamer_otaku6542 When??? Adam silver took over in like 2014-2015. The league was in a much better state back then. With out the woke bull shit being pushed, softness in the game, the catering to offense etc the referees are now ABSOLUTELY GOD AWFUL. He's the biggest reason for the NBA being the way that it is. He has zero accountability for himself and the players, viewership is going down, he leaky told KG he wants to see more offense. It's him
I feel like this goes back to Draymond complaining about the 65 game rule. Ultimately the players just do NOT give a sht about the fans. They just want to clock in, clock out
@@mimosajdthats a dumb take because they can also get injured at pick up games in the summer but they still go hard and play defense. Even at drew league and shit
Who wants to compete at high levels on their break like what? Especially after doing all the press and all the stuff for all the organizations and stuff what’s wrong going yeah I ain’t gon play finals basketball. Also how many of those players even play defense that well anyway.
@@joaorodrigo6304Yeah because that’s not a job. All-star weekend is still on the job if you get selected. 99% of the league wasn’t doing stuff. I’m sorry, but the fact you’re emotional over a dumb game, speaks volumes to your life. Nobody who doesn’t make basketball content has no incentive to moan and be mad. Straight up
@@mimosajd 🤓🤓bro ur replies say MORE about your life... joaorodrigos made a valid point, a lot of these guys play pick up in order to train.. which boils down to a meaningless rep in the grand scheme of things if considering your risk to reward ratio... it "doesnt make sense from both a business and personal sense" The all star game is actually meaningful in 1. promoting a brand 2. contract negotiations and 3. increasing match up hype between players leading to higher ratings and views in the playoffs. I understand the players dont directly get paid from viewership but over time they are.. they shouldnt want to be part of a diminishing product but the FANS who fund it all essentially see the players not care if the product is diminishing are somehow in the wrong for not wanting it that way? I dont even comment usually but the guy u replied to wasnt even emotional and you took the extra time to comment on his life for being emotional 🤣🤣 Never seen a person project so hard.. takes a special loser to create that much conjecture and put it in a comment in order to somehow feel better about himself.. bro u replied to didn't even insult you, he just said ur take was dumb 😆 Cant wait til u start getting stupid defensive to this comment.. Straight up
@@Ataraxia_Atom FUCK NO!!! Pretty sure most NBA guys shoot 3s now. So while I can maybe understand using a "professional dunker" like Matt McLung, there's no reason to put focus on a girl losing. Steph is the GOAT shooter. Not just stood in a empty gym but in NBA games!!! Robots can shoot 3s in empty gyms; few cared.
@@ronnypookythey wouldn’t take that seriously either because nobody would wanna go out and get embarrassed 1v1 it would just be a shoot around with no defense
@@VinceLyle2161savage? He’s the dummy that created most of the issues the league has now but changing the way the game is officiated and giving the players too much power.
They really should start considering doing what the MLB did with the All-Star Game pre-2017, whichever conference wins gets home advantage in The Finals. It's the only why they're going to compete since there's something of value on the line.
@@Wrestle_Kingdom It's only for the finals and it would totally work, because playing in the weaker conference would not automatically give you home advantage.
Giannis was the only one I looked forward on this game since he somewhat took all-star games seriously but sadly, he dgaf on the defensive end. He had chances to make a highlight block but decided not to smh. Oh yeah, i fell asleep at the start of the 4th lmao. Watching all those 3s and no defense can help one's insomnia i suppose.
Saw a comment that said any NBA contract incentives involving making All-Star teams should only kick in if you're on thr winning team. It would definitely make it more competitive but players would never agree to it lmao.
What i would do: Replace the skills challenge with a 1v1 tournament 5mill prize, open to non allstars. All star game cash bonus that decreases with the amount of points you let the other team score. (Lets say the bonus is 5mil and decreases by $50,000 every point you let the other team score over 100) Make a show of it. Have graphics that show the money draining so evryone is aware cos the money isnt the point, pride is. Maybe even let steals and blocks take money from the other team but fouls give it back so it doesnt get overly physical. Tell the coaches to bench lazy players. If you aint trynna play you aint gotta be there, sit on the bench fr. Just my thoughts
Skill! Skill! Skill! That's all what people talk about in this era of basketball. What these players are missing is heart. They're soft! None of these dudes care anymore. Most can't even post up or slide their feet on defense.This batch of ball players are afraid of competition and lack effort. I didn't even watch anything from all star weekend.
Exactly. The most skilled era yet also the most boring era because these guys rarely try.

bro players and coaches makes just the best decision, don't get tired or risk an injury for nothing. In this way they can give their best into the playoffsù
It’s the mentality of today’s stars. They feel like they have nothing to prove, even though they clearly do. it’s like they don’t take pride in being the best player anymore.
Not even on some nostalgia shit but the league is not in a good spot. We have the most talented stars in history but they treat playing basketball like it’s a chore.
It’s sad to say but there might not be a fix. Not just the all star game but the nba in general, a lot of the players have just lost that love and passion for the game. Back in the 90s all star weekend used to be hype cuz you know MJ is about to try and dunk on someone. Chuck and pippen were in each others faces etc. in the “Kobe” era. he went out his way to mess with Lebron, I just don’t see that stuff happening now. I don’t think it’ll happen ever again
The allstars get a massive bonus for being an allstar. They should take away a portion of the bonus and give the winning team a bigger portion of the $ that is the only way they get these dudes to start playing for real
They make 100 million and the bonus is not anything comparable to that. Let’s not act like the bonuses matter with the exception of all-nba and defensive teams.
They only care about winning championships honestly and it’s most in part them making as much as they do and being scrutinized for not winning championships. However these nba players just don’t care and they are starting to feel super privileged when in fact the ones who are paying to see these athletes suffer yet they do not care at the end of the day. It’s kinda like hip hop stars coming late to concerts that others paid for I think a lot of these big headed people need a reality check fr fr
One way I think you get players to care is if you make the MVP more important, then they'd actually try. My idea is that the MVP has their city host the event in the future. I went more in-depth on my channel, but I think that change gets players to care more about the games, the fans to care more about voting, and for non-basketball fans in NBA cities to care more about their teams. BTW, that sweatshirt is crazy
The dunk contest is an easy fix. Just let pro dunkers do it and let the NBA players sponsor them. 5 NBA All Stars pick the dunker they want to represent them and they do it like that. Be way more interesting then whatever that that hot garbage was Saturday.
That's a good idea...they got some street ball dunkers in each of the NBA markets that can put on a show let the best NBA dunkers do a round of 32'can put up the pot with half of the money going to the winner and the other half going to charity.
May as well just forget the whole thing and hire some street ballers for the all star game itself at that point. These dudes have no competitive drive anymore. Once they get paid most of them couldn’t care less about the fans
Sabrina scored 37 last year from the women 3 so I think Kenny was just saying it would of made it more interesting. Because after she got 26 we all knew steph was getting that
Y'all tweakin acting like what Kenny said was SO bad. He basically wanted to see her win, and mentioned her shooting where she's used to shooting from and this sensitive PC world we live in acting like he said she was trash from the 3.
Fr when I first saw the discourse on Twitter, I thought he said something like "she should go back to the kitchen" or something like that. Then I heard what he said and was so confused as to why everyone was so up in arms
There are tons of easy fixes. One would be making the game a halfcourt game and condense the floor even more by only extending the floor about 5 feet behind the 3pt line instead of all the way to the normal halfcourt line. This would make the game more like an irl pickup game. And because the floor is condensed, it makes playing defense easier, and it eliminates players form lollygagging up and down the full court. Another one is to make the game 6 minute quarters for the first 3, then 10 minutes in the 4th. That way they don’t have to spend 36 minutes messing around before they finally get to the last quarter. This speeds through the part of the game that’s not as serious, then let’s them actually give effort for a 10 minute period. Another one is do some type of king of the court instead of the game. One that I think would be cool is scrap the game since they don’t want to do it, and grab some of the best defenders in the league and have them go one on one with some of the best scorers in the league. Rules can be whatever. Maybe 3 or 5 dribble max if they wanted. Defenders only play defense, and scorers only play offense. Scorer doesnt score, defender gets a point, scorer makes a shot he gets a point. Perimeter players face off and bigs face off so that there’s no cross matches like a trae young against nic Claxton.
Yeah, that was the worst All-Star weekend ever there wasn’t no competitiveness. Everybody was there just because they had to be. There was no excitement for this weekend. I remember as a kid, the dunk competition in players actually being competitive to win.
Here’s some solutions for the All Star Weekend Events: Some these events are too complex and need to be simple. Celebrity Game- Get some celebrities that can actually hoop and let them play. Stop tryna get the most popular people that acts like they can play knowing that they can’t. Rising Stars- Be competitive. Just that simple. Skills- Go back to the old format. It was nothing really wrong with it. 3Pt- nothing don’t change it. Dunk Contest- the most difficult thing to change. Superstars don’t wanna do it cuz they’re mad p*ssy and afraid to get embarrassed and losing to someone who not a Star like them. It’s hard to come with a solution. These dudes today afraid of losing and being embarrassed front of millions of people I guess. Shoutout to Jaylen Brown for participating even some of his dunk were boring. All-Star Game- be competitive, yall don’t gotta perform like it’s game 7 but damn show better effort on defense. Yall gonna play harder to make the Olympic team in the summer. No one wanna see 211-186 scores. They might have to make some new events or bring back some old ones.
@@JamesASharp 😂 you know what I meant. The skills challenge was way easier before they change it to a completely different format. They mixed in the spot up shooting competition with the skills challenge and it wasn’t necessary.
I love ALL the All-Star weekend stuff, Saturday and Sunday. I'm the only one. I get that. The skills, 3 point, dunk, and even the game with no defense. The commentary was bad, mainly cuz of Kenny.
To be fair, here’s what I did during All-Star weekend: Friday: I only watched the Celebrity game. I couldn’t watch the Rising Stars game because TNT decided not to work on many televisions here at NIU, and my television and FuboTV don’t have TNT, either. Saturday: SAME reason why I couldn’t watch All-Star Saturday, including the Steph vs. Sabrina 3-point showdown. Sunday: SAME reason why I had to watch the All-Star game on RU-vid without any footage. The other sites that streamed the game were worthless.
The only thing that was great about it was the lighting. MVP's for all the electricians. MCCLUNG did a dunk never seen before- judges didn't see it. They shouldn't give scores until after watching video review of dunk angles. Steph and Sabrina shoot out- good stuff
Combine All-Star weekend with the In-Season tournament. Have the group play be in January and then knockout round in February. Expand all star roster to account for players that play in the championship game of the in season tournament (kinda like how the NFL does the Pro Bowl/SB). All star game should be pickup style, all ones, first 21, best 3 out of 5. Take the entire week off from games for all star , unless you’re a quarterfinalist for the tournament. Those games will start all star week in whatever city it’s in. That way, there is enough time during the week for corporate and sponsor obligations to be met by players. And they’ll all be in one place.
Move it to after the season. Move the in-season tournament (IST) playoff to where the ASG is now. Give money to all participants and a top 10 guaranteed draft picks to the winner only for the IST. Pay the ASG participants and ensure the location is dope. ASG MVP and defensive player of the game both get cap incentives or an extra mid-level exception for their team. If that doesn't fix it, get rid of it to show how loss will impact their legacy.
I have spent alot of time thinking about this. Ok lets start with a shift in the schedule. The last games before the break should be on Sunday. So players are going to get Monday -Thursday off. The ASG will still be on the next coming Sunday but then players go to their next cities and prepare to have a game on Tuesday. Celeb game is what it is. But bring back Rookie Soph game, No USA vs the world, no drafting players. Keep it traditional, the best 9 rookies vs the best 9 soph. On Saturday between events have a 10 min performance from a variety of artist throughout the night. I would like to see artist that the kids would get excited for, Drake, Kendrick, Travis, Doja Cat, Billie Eillish. Now for the events. We should stick with 4 events but I think we should have a large pool of events to pick from. So I think we should have Dunk, 3pt, Skillz, but we should also add a 1 vs 1 tourney, and a 20 man game of knockout(5 NBA players, 5 fans, 5 Celebs, and 5 legends) Every year we only play 4 of the 5, each year 1 event will not played. Also for the love of God, let the 3pt contest be the last event of the night.
Thank you for saying that there is no problem with them putting in effort . I’m tired of hearing this “why risk injury” because your entire career and stardom relies on people enjoying watching you compete .
Rhis is Sad AF too! Growing up, I fuckin loved All Star Weekend! They did MTV Rock & Jock back then too! Players actually cared back then about the Dunk & 3 point Contest & the game itself was always better 🤘🏾🫡
@@JWNS08 🫡 My Man! Dope you remember it! No joke, I dug all of the R&J's, Basketball, Football, & Baseball/Softball! This made me think about it so I just threw it in the RU-vid search bar after I commented and they actually have full games uploaded on here! Dope! The more I get older, the more I realize how special that time/era we were fortunate enough to experience truly is! Like undeniably not just my opinions 😏🫡
The look on Larry’s face while he was watching that dumpster fire said it all i thought he was going to get up and leave which you couldn’t even have blamed him Kobe nailed it when he said they play harder in summer pick up games.
the dunk contest came back last year just to be disappointing again this year, as for the all star game, its never been competitve except for 2020, but i wish instead of the long distance 3s, there was more flashy plays like how it used to be
This is just what the NBA is now. Players not playing to prevent injuries. lol. The last game I watched the first 11 shots were 3’s and only 3 were made.
What Kenny Smith did believe it or not it was the best thing for the WNBA because now Sabrina and others are going to insist that the WNBA improve their products 1: by giving them an NBA size 🏀 basketball. 2: by using an NBA 3-point line
SIMPLE FIX.... ALL STAR weekend at End of there season. Contract for EVERY PLAYER is they must attend if chosen and Only transportation is paid for. 😮 1&2 in Competition Get paid along with Winner of the All Star game.💵 This makes ot so that the players are spending 💰 BIG money on something they have to do and only way to get their money 💰 back IS TO WIN!!!!!!!! 😮💲🤔😎😁
Here’s an idea for the all star game right since players pay are tied in by how many all nba teams they make the conference that wins the all star game only players from that conference can make the all nba 1st team.
Keep: 3pt contest Skills challenge All star game Celebrity game (with good celebs) Add: Buckets AKA 23 3 on 3 mini tournament Allow WNBA players to compete in all events 🤷🏾♂️
There are barely competing in the regular season, so it doesn’t surprise me that they barely even show up at the All-Star game, this is just the current attitude of the NBA, and until the stars affecting the bottom line and viewership in a very dramatic way it’s not gonna change
Bring the legends game back basically a better version of the Big 3 I’d love to see Gil or Tmac or Shaq maybe Wade or Vince would be cool to watch a little pickup up game see if they still got it but overall the last GREAT ASG was 04 to me and omg I agree Jaylen was cringe af 😂
Only way to save the All Star Game is to add in 1 vs 1 tournaments the Fans get to vote who play each other players got too much money now and how about play for Ego boom send me a check David Stern
Should add a 1:1 king of the hill game, Rookie king of the hill, 3 on 3 half court first to 21, etc etc. The people literally come up with better ideas than the wack ass skils challenge and what they got rn
Also cool all star idea, Beef Ball. It’s a first to seven, 2v2 match against two or more players that have beef. Think of it like this, Chris Paul and pat bev hate each other so they each get to choose one other player to help them when a match so the teams might be Pat and KAT vs Chris and Blake
Adam Silver needs to implement something of value that could improve the game. I’m not talking bout money either. Something like what people keep saying, the team who wins, their conference gets home court advantage in the finals.
One thing I must give Adam Silver is that he is very much aware commissioner, he does try and alot of his ideas do actually end up being good. Problem with All Star weekend is mostly the players, for example Jokic has this "i dont care" attitude which is cool but for an all star game it just comes off as being lazy
Hate how fans say this guy should have made it in the All-Star game, but as soon as they make it that player show no effort and now the fans mad I’m just saying
Had not thought about the different 3 point line. That makes her score insane…. She is used to a shorter one - if she played a season with this one, she would likely be even better.
They should bring back the allstar drafting but do it just before the game like a true pick up game. and maybe incentivize logo threes and artistic/athletic dunks with extra points. And if a team scores off a block or steal, idk maybe double the points 🤷♂️
They should play outside on the Black top! Preferably at a legendary place like Rucker park! They should have a game with "street ball" legends V.S. N.B.A. players! They should also have 1 V.S.1 games! They should play a game of 21 staring N.B.A. players! The dunk contest should be open invitation (as some of the best dunkers in the world are not in the leauge)! Make the N.B.A. players all put money in a pool with the winner taking all (or all the prize monies going to a reputable charity)! LOL I have a lot of ideas that would make All-star weekend fun again!
the more often you see Jaylens dunks the better they get :D first time I´ve seen the dunk i didnt even see that there was someone sitting on the chair :D
That Steph vs. Sabrina 3pt contest was really fun to watch. As a female, I was so proud of how Sabrina did even with the haters. Both athletes showed amazing sportsmanship and great shooting ability.
This is one of the reasons I haven’t been on board with basketball for a long time. Players are so apathetic with the mega millions they make to be entertainers
The Aaron Gordon vs Zach Lavine dunk contest in 2016 was the last great competition I've seen. It's like the players today just don't care about putting on a show
Dunk contest is an easy fix. Dunk contest is judged by the all stars, and do exactly what Deestroying is doing with football. 20 dunkers, 20k or a tryout. They will go crazy
Solution: The conference that wins get the home court advantage in the NBA finals. Also, the team for which the all star game mvp plays for, gets a loss overturned.
