Time for the fans to steal back the election. Make the NBA Allstar game great again. Time to vote in cats who will try. Stuffing the ballot for McClung and Thanasis next year.

i agreeTime for the fans to steal back the election. Make the NBA Allstar game great again. Time to vote in cats who will try. Stuffing the ballot for McClung and Thanasis next year.
sure i think it's a terrible business decision,
Adam Silver should illustrate why it's terrible business decision, and he should do everything in his power to shame them,
but I agree he should do something not just talk, fine them, come up loser award for the player who doesn't try.
something.
look heres and NBA player trying in a meaningless game;
and here;
and here
NBA players seems to do this all the time and try in meaningless games.
No, they don't1) At this point, you’re right. Buying a ticket to the game now is knowing what you’re gonna get. My counter to this is that it wasn’t always this way.
Competitive basketball, especially in the all star game, left with Kobe.
2) Again, you’re right, these cats don’t owe it to the retired players before them.
THEY OWE IT TO THE GAME ITSELF.
Especially when we see more intense basketball from these cats when they making they IG reels.
i agreeThe game sucks because the best players give absolutely no effort anymore. It is what it is.
IMO Jokic performance yesterday was disrespectful… it wasn’t funny at all.
The only way it is a bad business decision with that it lowers the market value of Silver being able to get a premium for the All-Star game in the TV deal. Given the size of the TV deal, the All-Star game would still be a relatively small amount, and the owners take half of that hit.
how many injuries have we had during the all star game? people act like this is a common thing. NBA player don't even play in it unless they are 100% healthy.The monetary gain from a competitive All-Star game is not worth the risk to the players.
Might not make business sense from a pure revenue standpoint, but makes perfect economic sense to me
fine try carrot first, I just don't think it will work because NBA player make so much money.Handing out fines is bull**** IMO
We talking about using the stick without even considering a carrot
He was tired of everything during the rising stars gameWemby going to lead a recalibration of competitiveness when he gets to the ASG.
No, they don't
By that logic, every NBA player needs to go 100% every time. And we give them passes for not doing so other times.
Like, do they owe it to the game to play hard in the first game of pre-season too?
These are NBA players, against mostly lesser competition
Cherry-picked examples posted to the internet
I have been to plenty of PRO-AM games that were trash
I am sure there are tons of trash UCLA runs that never made it to the internet too
Yeah, I’m definitely mulling over taking a 3 day NT and sports media hiatus.Three more days of this

Da **** is wrong with this dude
I was gonna say, I see folks whining about one playerHave to blame Luka and Jokic. Even Giannis. Best players under 30 didn’t bring the intensity
It’s bout to make me complain about the people complaining lolYeah, I’m definitely mulling over taking a 3 day NT and sports media hiatus.
Maybe get back to the gym finally, read some books, catch up on some movies and TV.
