Sometimes you need things to get much worse before it gets any better. The new system was terrible obviously, not only the teams and such part was terrible, but also the fact that we have seen the whole Kevin Hart thing, everyone hated that and everyone was disgruntled about it too.

The players were literally telling Kevin Hart to shut up basically, like I can sort of understand commentators talking about players behind their back while the game is going on, but giving that feed directly to the players while the game is being played? Lebron was out from the start the moment he learned the new situation. But at least we got something out of this, we know that this isn't going to be working, and we are going to go back to old ways soon.

I agree with your take. They need to stop letting celebrities run the event. Nobody wants to see that. The celebrity game had promise when it was first introduced, but nobody knows who these "celebrities" are anymore that have taken over all star weekend. The game itself was a mess. The new format is terrible.

I agree with you that hopefully this will get them to start getting back on track. We want to see players representing their teams and being the center of the weekend. They need to get rid of anything that isn't centered around the NBA stars and stop trying to use fame from B-list celebrities to get eyes on the sport.

Yes, I can't remember when the celebrities starting to be in the all star games, they should be just fans and watching from the sideline and not need to play. But obviously, we have seen a big chance since the time that we have all enjoy and looking for the all star.

And if not for McClung, all star will be dead again. He has won multiply times already, and I think it's about time that a real NBA player should join the competition for next year and bring the hype again.
