World bench has too many scrubs

In a few years it might be a cool idea to make a small tournament. Team USA, Europe, Canada and Africa. Short games. Maybe 4 minute quarters.

Right now it's becoming close where team usa vs the world would be a competitive game. If you split up team world then team USA will kill everyone.

Probably missed that part when reading but I think itll take at least 20 years or so for that to happen lol.

ESPN exec: "Coach, ratings are dropping by the minute. I'd like you to play more Okogie, Wagner, Ukrainmaker, and Melli."
World coach: "But sir, we'll lose if we do that. I'm playing the Canadians and Luka."
ESPN exec: "You do that and Trump will try you for treason."
World coach: "I will take the bribe."

This is great

US is just still way deeper than anyone else. The top level talent is catching up, but this game is a perfect illustration. As soon as the World team bench came in, they just couldn't hang.

[RamonSessions7]

The world just went quit mode so hard

[Jcity08]

World are bricking all their shots, including layups. God damn.

[jourdy]

In all fairness the world rosters have had better talent in recent year, this year an exception (in part due to Ayton missing). So to say that it's becoming close to a competitive game is incorrect IMO - USA usually has better depth while the World typically has the better top talent.

I agree though that things shouldn't be split up - but who knows maybe in the future it could work. Something like 6 man rotations since the games are shorter, and probably with a USA A and a USA B team. E.g. 6 teams consisting of USA A, USA B, Europe, Canada, Africa, Rest of the World. It would delude the talent pool and lower the threshold of being selected a "rising star" though.

So who will start to chuck for MVP in the last minutes. Right now it is still an open race.

[deneem4]

Could the top rising stars players challenge either of the allstar teams???

Trae
Ja
Luka
Zion
Jackson

[aggerrard]

We should integrate the WNBA into All Star Weekend. I think it’d be fun.

im down to have the rookies vs the wnba allstars

If they let them play 7 v 5

... they might only lose by 50 points, if both teams took it serious.

11/42 from 3 in an all star game. Yikes
