It would be like an MLB all star game with no fielder's or a pro bowl with no defense

Defense is half the game and they ignore it


Dude, the All Star Game is really just about being selected. They have fun for a weekend while catching their breath. Give the fans a show.

They only have 26 games left till the post season so why go all out?

Like someone earlier said, if semi close with 5 minutes left, they will play hard.

terrible defense and effort. All these players forming two superteams, just scared of competition. NBA is way down







I think it is safe to say that the Bird Celts, Showtime, MJ Bulls were all super teams. What about the Rockets trying out the Hakeem, Clyde, and Barkley group? Or the Hill and Duncan free agency where the rumor was linking up in Orlando?

I'm a traditionalist I guess

I appreciate good defense. I think the shot clock should be 45 seconds like it used to be. Force teams to actually defend. Also offenses are much more creative with a longer shot clock.

All this Push to shorten the shot clock especially at the college level is stupid.

Thats what the pro bowl is every year anyway.

MLB all star game is different because actually playing defense in baseball requires a whole lot less physical exertion than in basketball or football

Offenses are not more creative with more time. They're actually as slow as molasses and their only goal is to burn the clock. Are you one of the resident trolls? Lol

Its fun to watch. I can't dunk. Seems like NBA jam in real life. I love watching the dunks. Not like the game matter, nothing to brag about.
Sure as hell don't want Anthony Davis playing hard risking an injury in a game that don't mean shite. Especially when the Pels are trying to get the final playoff spot. I'm sure Cavaliers fans don't want LeBron playing all out, risking injury. Common sense. So just let them go to the whole and dunk.

The dunks and 3s are spectacular when somebody is trying to stop them from happening.

Five guys standing still while a dude drives the lane and drops the ball in the hoop isn't interesting. ASG used to be good when the players had pride

I love when they throw the bucket of confetti at the crowd and everybody ducks because they think it's water. Hilarious

Joke's on you if you chose the ASG as the event to get your NBA fix

I love the NBA and I rarely watch it myself. Not watching this year

As our high school coach once said,
"What's the name of the game boys?"
Random player "well coach jones I believe we're playing basketball"
Coach jones "quit being a god damn smart arse son, and start running until I tell you to stop.... Defense boys! Defense is the name of the game!"

This is even worse than normal. There's a reason 2 people are going to break a record that's been held since 1962

Who cares? It's not worth it for these guys to go all out and get hurt in an exhibition when the playoffs are so close. Complaining about defense in this game is dumb.

I disagree.

The All Star game is what it is, but it's not because fans don't want to see competition and defense.

It's kind of crazy to me that some think that.
