Once again, these NBA stars are showing no respect for the game. It’s another Dunkarama and 3-point farce. Not a single hand in anyone’s face. I’ll see how TCM is doing. See you next year. What a waste of time. Adam, you must do something. It’s embarrassing for your sport.

If you’re not personally offended but this disgraceful farce taking place right now in Indy, you don’t love or understand basketball, These “All-Stars” should be censured. And where are the coaches? Have any of them have any pride? They’re all acting like athletic court jesters.

We need things like the NBA All-Star Game so we can protect the tradition of old sports writers getting unnecessarily angry at things. https://t.co/UZYbjHuv7P

I mean you aren’t wrong. The All star game is a joke. Think about NBA regular season and the way guys chuck up threes. If you think there will be any sort of coaching or cohesion in this game you are crazy. https://t.co/wldaQiho6b

People take the ASG way too seriously. There is no incentive for players to play hard and potentially injure yourself. https://t.co/rrfyWttFMB
