Last year they at least tried when it came to elam ending time.
 
I think there's a lot of revisionist history about how hard guys from previous generations played in the all-star game. No one's taken that game seriously since the late 90s at least. The real reason it's unwatchable now is that the mid-range game is dead.
 
I will say this is leading to an uptick in competitive play but I really don't want to see non-All Stars in this setting

Had to look it up - mom is Panamanian.

KAT somehow has DR citizenship although grew up in Jerz.

Talk about loosely “global”
 
Steph Castle is the epitome of UConn. He and his family saw firsthand what UConn was about on his official. Nil didn’t matter. False promises didn’t matter. Role didn’t matter. Playing time did t matter. He came here, was coached hard, never put his head down, won a natty, and will be an nba superstar. This story at Uconn is not unique. It’s what we are about.
 
There was selective defense but still awful. I mean the last play at least try to play some D and get back and challenge Tatum. I think both NFL(Flag football game and not even good one) or NBA( just a bunch of 3s and a few dunks with no D) need to end. It isn't worth watching anymore.

No offense to the dude and the rest of the "rising stars" but this sums it up. What a mess of a production that was.

The fights were awesome. I loved it and want more of it.

Castle is going to be a star sooner than later

The league is kind of a mess now. It's just not a good product and with Lebron, Curry, Durant etc. near the end of the road I think it's going to get worse. There will always be great players coming up but the younger crop of stars don't seem like they'll move the needle like past stars.
 
The NBA should try doing what the NHL is doing in regards to a new All Star format. The 4 Nations Face-Off is very competitive with teams from Canada, Finland, Sweden and USA. USA beat Finland soundly and then they beat Canada on Saturday night. Good action.

Totally agree with you. Both the UConn Men's and Women's basketball teams seem to recruit high character players. This is not a slight against the other teams but I just know more about the basketball players since roster size is much smaller.
