This game is so trash.

If they go back to East/West, should they pay the winning team $1 million per player and the losing squad $250k per player?

or make it Team North America vs Team International?

For a Canadian I'm not much of a hockey fan but this 4 Nations tournament they're doing in place of their all star game is pretty intense.

The final game reverted back to the worst of recent ASGs, especially after the long TNT tribute

Worst all star game I've seen easy

Easily the worst ASG ever and that’s saying a lot. It was like 5 minutes of non-competitive play and hours of commercials. I’d want a refund if I paid for a ticket

There's no saving it. The all-star game, weekend, whatever has become trash. No one cares about any of it and it's all so uncompetitive. Betrays the game.

I mean, you can have an all-star baseball game. Players can play hard. w/e. Basketball just isn't like that.

It's a concept left over from when the league was still desperate to get into public consciousness and displace the Globetrotters

All-star weekend is a great time to catch up on shows and earn some much needed points. "Love lets watch slow horses. It's all-star weekend but I'm cool with missing that to spend some time with you" I get to skip trash hoops while making myself look better. I'm a vet at this sht.

Shooting 1-5 didn't help his cause much

The NBA should just stop
This sh** is a joke to watch
There’s not one part of all star weekend that is competitive or fun anymore other than Mac

I watched 2020 AS highlights when they used the Final Target Score, it was very competitive, guys were complaining to officials, both teams wanted to win...

Why did we get away from it? It was kinda fun

Without injury and Towns' being healthy too? I can deal with this all day long.

The whole "all-atar weekend" carried by a fringe NBA player's shoulder and I am being kind.

Nothing NBA can do if the players boycott it tho.

Watch the Hockey 4 Nations games and then watch this. Then you'll see what utter garbage this truly is.
