NBA All-Star game, what the hell happened to men's basketball?

168 3-point attempts.
211-186
Fans in stands just twittering and Instagraming.
Is it still a legit sport? Or just Disco entertainment?

a. The All Star game has been a pure exhibition since the 80s/90s
b. The players are more rational and intelligent today and are focused on avoiding injuries/wear to save themselves for real games.
Better than 168 2-point attempts

The turning point was the Magic Johnson aids all-star game in 1992. He announced the aids in November 1991. He played in a comeback in the 1992 all-star game and the others players were afraid of getting aids and or didn't play defense against him because it was all about Magic and letting him score. Since then the NBA all-star game has become a joke.
It was awesome to watch in the 70s-80s and until 1992 as players cared about who won.

you're asking about a sport based on its all star game?

Just like most games. No defense.

The all-star game is not too far off from a regular season game. Both are garbage.

They just need to cancel it the same way the NFL did with the Pro Bowl.

Is football still a legit sport? Because their all star game was also so bad they play flag football now

They need to change it like the NFL. A good concept I saw was a 3v3 tournament. Use the same rules as that 3v3 league that the old players play in. Short games, can't just hide on defense, a little something different that might stoke some competitive fire in the players. Worth a shot

AAU culture has trickled up to the NBA.

All-Star game should be NBA vs. WNBA, then the men's players would actually try to win
