Time for the All Star Game to Return ?
NBL seems to be doing well in terms of generating interest and a great deal of talent on board this season. While I know it is probably too late to organise now for this season, is it time for the All Star Game to make a comeback ?
We've only seen one NBL all star game in the past 12 years (2012-13), and i think the league is in a considerably better position know than back then, particularly in popularity & talent.
Personally I'd like to see a Aussie Vs World/Import format, and surround the weekend with the traditional 3pt shootout etc, and I think a tonne of other curtain raisers could be added to showcase as well (I think the USA/Aus game had an Indigenous Vs Maori game ?).
I just the game and NBL has a lot to offer at the moment and a weekend like this could really showcase this to the non and casual basketball public.
