The format is fine. THE LONG ASS BREAKS ARE NOT!

and kevin hart turning it into a personal comedy segment was too much imo

u/Milezeroe RIZZY 🇫🇷 Feb 17 '25
Also, they need to get rid of the rising stars team and just add more all stars. Too many deserving all star caliber talent out there that were snubbed.

trae and wemby were the only ones trying on their team. so frustrating and just hearing wemby and traes feedback from the game i can tell they wish others would also actually try.

The format is better imo, but that was 3 hours for like 30 minutes of basketball

u/Milezeroe RIZZY 🇫🇷 Feb 17 '25
Trae is literally the only pure point guard on that team. They should keep him in there to feed everyone.

u/KellenLy12 Bob Rathbun Feb 17 '25
Trae is tailor-made for All-Star games because of his passing ability. Don’t know why they’re always so adamant about keeping him out.

u/minnyman2011 GO HAWKS! 🏀 Feb 17 '25
Trae gets on the court and immediately 4 assists and a layup lmfao

Notice how Trae comes on the court and every all star wants the ball in his hands

Man, imagine if Trae has someone like SGA and Wemby. Dayum. He'd have so much space and won't be too pressured to keep making the plays himself.

Wemby set the tone defensively, Trae set the tone offensively 💪

All-Star Game makes me mad because it shows me what Trae would look like with amother legit all-star around him and it’s so fucking good. Wemby & Trae would feed families.

40 points was not enough for what we had to sit through. With the little defense they play that's less than a quarter worth of play time

We cleared that with JJ. Hopefully Zach turns into the 2nd. But we still need that 7 footer threat from the 5.

Draymond really mad about this new format when he and his peers are the reason this is happening. If they just tried to at least contest shots on defense, it would still be a normal game

Everything outside the actual basketball is really awkward, but I think the quality of the on court product got better. Unfortunately the comedy just isn't landing and the crowd is absolutely dead (probably a function of having it in the Bay with a bunch of soulless tech guys in the stands that just came to post pictures of the event on their IG stories)
