You’re never going to get all the best players on the court competing at a high level for a game that doesn’t mean anything. This has been the case for as long as I remember when it comes to the all-star game. I think you just have to view it in a different light...or just don’t watch it, like Bobster said.

The Elam ending stuff is fun. Though it didn’t matter this year. I’m all for getting creative. Maybe have 4 captains select 7-man teams and do shortened tournament style games, put a 4pt shot on the court, etc. I like they’ve added longer shots to the 3pt contest. I feel like they could change up the skills challenge..that one is mostly a dud.
It is awful. I mean, the stuff they do, any middle school player can do. And probably not much slower than they do. It isn't a test of skill. And head-to-head sounds like a good idea, until you watch it. Put some real skills in there, make it timed (or scored, like you get 5 passes to make as many of those as possible). Then top 5 advance to finals or something. But ugh, the current iteration sucks.

I would really like to go back to a HORSE game (but I assume you sponsor it so they play NIKE or something).
The players don’t even give an effort, it’s pathetic and pointless
I really think they should bring in a few NBA players and a couple of the YouTube dunkers to compete in the dunk contest. That would liven up the dunk contest and show a lot more creativity.

LeBron James killed the dunk contest.

When he was young and declined to participate, it became uncool to be in the dunk contest. There's been a stigma attached to winning the dunk contest for a while now because those players get labeled as "dunkers" or "athletic players". Combine those two factors and now we're here with fringe rotation players and G-League players in the dunk contest.

No way in hell would a decent NBA player enter a dunk contest with YouTubers or "professional" dunkers. Their ego's couldn't handle it.

Wow, a bunch of us 81ers. Pretty sure Bobster’s in that group too.

So, it turns out I was right that Ayton’s empty whirling dervish move would make Shaqtin’ A Fool.
