Kid had his funny moments, he gets a bag for every video so I don’t blame him, but that wasn’t funny at all. Nor do I think it was as disrespectful as Kyrie took it.
You don’t understand why a Native American would take offense to a white dude mocking their ritual that honors their dead ancestors?
 
OK, but having the game means all the players who don’t make an all-star team will be left to their own devices for a week. So, even if you’re right, the all stars only get the safety benefit of being in the game, the majority of the league doesn’t.

I don't think you should make perfect the enemy of good.

The fact that not all the players are at all star weekend isn't an argument against all star weekend.

Should we not have had the bubble because not everyone can be in the bubble?

Plus the other players benefit from Allstar weekend, it brings revenue for the league which is pretty import in empty stadium pandemic season.

To me all star weekend is not some crazy unreasonable idea like it's being painted by some in the media.

Lots of cultures do it. Whether it be for health, getting rid of spiritual evil spirits, evil eye reasons, or ancestral reasons etc. Hell my culture been doing it for centuries.

Kyrie takes everything to an extreme level.

Has the league even talked about how they will make up all the games they postponed?

From their website only two have dates. Another one has been moved to the second half.

I don’t think having an all-star game is a crazy idea, but to me the risks outweigh the potential rewards.

Since we’re talking about a scaled down AS weekend anyway, just seems unlikely it’s going to be a huge revenue generator or attract big TV ratings.

I dunno I think it would def be a ratings draw. Didn't they say all star voting is way up this year. Seems like interest might be up.

And I think it mitigates the risk of star players catching covidn while on vacation.
 
^^^ Nic Batum also had a kid recently and has been playing well. NBA quarantine baby boom in effect.
