If you are a basketball junky like me and love the NBA, then after watching the “NBA All Star Saturday Night” you realize that MAJOR changes need to be made and made now.
It was very very boring. The 3 point shootout……boring. The dunk contest….boring. All the rest…..boring. Something needs to be done to change things up for next year. It has to happen. I only watched it because I love basketball.
In the so called “highlight event” of “All Star Saturday Night”, the dunk contest, who was the players? It was a bunch of no names. I have never even heard of the winner Jeremy Evans of Utah. It was very very boring and unexciting.
Something has to be done to hopefully get players like Russell Westbrook or King James or Deron Williams or other big names to be in the dunk contest or sorry to say just do not have it anymore. The NBA needs to try that next year a game between American NBA vs Europe NBA. I think that would be different.
The All star game was a dunk contest. Some of which should have been in the dunk contest. But the last 10 or so minutes was very exciting and even featured a very hard foul by D-Wade against Kobe. By the way the Heat come into the Staple Center to play the Lakers so that should be interesting.
If James wants to be TRULY great he has to start to make key baskets when it really counts like Kobe does. Because he did not come through in crunch time AGAIN late in the 4th.
Unless the NBA makes major changes to “All Star Saturday Night” they will have to change it to “All Star Boring Night” That’s real talk! Gordon Curvey
