I like a good game of HORSE, but that would take forever.

Maybe a free throw shooting contest between Mitch, DeAndre Jordan, Ben Simmons and Jakob Poetl?

You could put a shot clock on the attempts and then a time limit for each matchup. So if it's running too long, someone is declared a winner after either 10 or 15 minutes.

It fun to think of the matchups. I would love to watch Curry and SGA duke it out. And for the bigs Jokic vs Embiid and Wemby versus Chet in round one, winner advances to championship round.

It would be fun to see what they come up with and we'd see their personalities on display. Have them all mic'd up

I have just as much interest in the NBA All Star game than I do in Jared Jeffries' career field goal percentage.

I'm gonna watch the 3 point contest, Steph vs Sabrina and that's probably it. Will Toppin 2.0 be worth watching in the dunk contest?

The All Star game itself is not a watchable product anymore.

They should change the format to match the rising stars tournament. That was pretty fun.

2 East teams vs 2 west teams and the best 6-man team from east and west play each other to a fixed point total like 30pts. Defense would be played.
