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.

Hopefully, you are right, and I think majority here will agree on what you say. I'm not sure about the Kevin Hart thingy or who wanted that to be included in the show, but yeah, there's a lot of cringe moment when he started to talk from the locker room to him and Shaq trying to entertain the crowd, but fans and players themselves didn't seems to like it. He keeps on interjecting himself and it was really annoying.

We understand that the NBA is trying to reinvent things, but having Kevin Hart? That's a bad decision by them.

This is not a roast show but a All Star game that everyone should be enjoying.

Him amd shaq have a history and with him being a comedic personality it made semse but agreed it failed. There wasnt enough about the basketball as there shoukd have been. I like how baseball puts the winner of the all star game as the conferemce that will have home field advantage for the world series. Puts some post season risks attached to winning and losing. I think thats the only way is to put post season advamtages towards the game.

Even the players themselves really don't know what it is going on, and then the breaks, it's too long that's why the players competitiveness are gone in this game. NBA is very wrong when they inserted a comedic personality like Kevin Hart.

And I don't know, it seems that Kevin has been attach to Diddy as well that's why it's not good to see him in the All Star.

As for the games, the only schedule is Feb 20 with Lakers vs Hornets, wherein Lakers in the huge favorite. Not sure though if Lebron is going to play here. It is also being noticed that Lebron might have robbed Powell his All Star appearance as Lebron was late in declaring that he is not available to play in the game.
