Message: [QUOTE="Mr. French, post: 2056119, member: 2292"] The NBA all-star game just became THIS level of a joke in the last 10 years or so, maybe even 5 ... I remember watching 90s - 00s all star games that were fun,they allowed different stuff i.e. Shaq running the break, T Mac off glass, Magic/Michael in their final games banging 3s ... The last couple times I watched any of it, it's like each possession is "here, do something cool and us 9 guys will literally get outta the way and watch" which is not a game. I've played in all star games or alumni games or whatever, and you can play for fun and entertainment while still actually playing a game. And I've always been that way, even when playing pickup. There is no fun to a pickup game that's as I described. it can be fun, light, entertaining and not going balls to the wall while still being somewhat of a "game." [/QUOTE]
