Yes, sorry you are.

Doesn't matter what the format is, no one will take it seriously because the risk of injury means too much in $$$$$.

Just kill it already.

And if the format is going to mean another case of 30 minutes of game alongside over 120 minutes of ads and self-promotion and talking heads, then they should just drop it for the waste of time that it is.

Its a pretty dying concept in US Sports.

Why not just have a mid season break, have a all star weekend, player apperances, 3x3 comp with G League players, skills comp, dunk comp. Just a festival of basketball, global NBA Academies etc and then everyone goes home.

The America's versus the world is what I’d like to see

Every year it comes up and ends up being a failure. The only thing left to try is USA vs overseas. Maybe round robin, USA, Europe and then rest of world. Rest of the world wouldn't have the superstars, but maybe they could raise the competitiveness. But there's really no incentive for players. Back in my day, 90s, 2000s it was still an offensive showcase, but if it was close in final quarter it did become a little competitive. If they went back to conferences and made the winner get home court in finals, it wouldn't really be fair to top teams. Imagine the Thunder having a great season and then losing the advantage because Luka wants to shoot half court shots. It's like AFL state of origin and NRL being like NBA and NHL all star game (that being 4 nations tournament this year). NRL is fantastic because of the rivalry and NHL had fights in the first 9 seconds.
As for rest of the weekend, the dunk comp used to be great, the only real interesting one in recent history was the Lavine and Gordon years, now it's the Brett Rainbow gala, a guy that's not even in the league. Skills challenge was Chris Paul trying to rort the system, but who really wants to watch bounce passes. 3 point shootout can be interesting. Rising stars, who cares.
So just scrap it really, don't even name all stars and watch players moan, but they're the ones who spoilt it. Maybe in a few years revive it to see if it can be worthwhile.

USA v World All Stars is the only meaningful game that can be considered.

I think they'll be working up hill to get back on track after this one. The players barely hide their disdain now.

I wonder what the ASG is worth to the NBA in terms of revenue / profit.

If there is enough loot in it, couldn't they create some type of prize pool for the winning team? Surely a few million bucks between them would be enough incentive?

Players will soon be earning a million dollars a game in the regular season, so it may have some incentive, but it shouldn't be the case where players making so much money have to be paid even more.
Maybe make the prize money go to charities and have recipients on the sidelines. That way Luka can tell little Timmy with cancer why he stuffed around to his face and cost the charity a million bucks. Might even shame the losers into donating to make up for it.

Just kill off the game and give the players the weekend off.

Still have All Star teams and the voting etc, just don't have All Star weekend and the BS that accompanies it. Give each player selected a trophy, some cash and they can wear a special badge/patch on their jersey for the rest of the season celebrating their all star selection.
