It’s the “fans” that requested all this cute **** to begin with. The Team Lebron crap, etc. They got bored with the old formats.

Serves these fools right to have to deal with it now. :lol:

I don't think the fans requested it.

Ever since LeBron became the star of the All-Star game, the game stopped being competitive and it has turned into a circus. Adam Silver, instead of enforcing or incentivizing these players to play harder and to respect the fans, just came up with this lame draft idea so he can say he did his part while maintaining good relationships with the players. Right there, a long tradition of East vs West thrown out the window for a format that makes absolutely 0 sense. They're selling two versions of each jersey right now because they don't know who's gonna be playing for which team :lol: Serves them right as you said.

I think Silver's a weak commissioner and the game is starting to lose its integrity under his watch.

well ... nba is at it's most global and we're pretty much in the golden age of euro players.

so making it usa vs world makes sense. not everyone is born in america. :lol:

It's not the American Rookie and American Sophomore game.

The fans via Social Media were clamoring for SOME stupid change, and they came up with this. So, I still blame the fans.
