the fault lies with the NBA, they sacrificed defense and some rules of this sport for a show more focused on attack and performance. And yet I find that the matches now are much more boring to watch than the matches of the 80s/90s, there are not only bad sides, for example Lebron surely would not have had such a long career if he had played at that time. The game is evolving but not necessarily in the right direction, hence the misery of current all-star games

I don't even think anyone says that. The NBA just likes to perpetuate that kind of play to bring in fans that don't watch basketball at all. Brand new fans. They've started to allow defense now and not just blowing the whistle at the slightest contact. I think they realized that there's no point in getting fickle new fans when they're losing their old fans. The All-star game, on the other hand, is a shit-show because players aren't willing to injure themselves or even exert effort for a game that doesn't matter at all. They see the all-star game as a vacation. The NBA can fix it by putting actual stakes on it. Like giving the winning side homecourt advantage in the finals. Similar to what the MLB does.

@@Seattlefan77You'd be surprised at the number of FANs saying that. A fan of the new era of the NBA once argued against my point and said isn't that the point of the game? To score more? The team that scores more wins? And claimed I was dumb to want defense as that would defeat the purpose of the game. 🤦 Then I argued it is more satisfying to see a player make a contested shot over tough defense. Not all fans but some new fans no longer appreciate the competition between offense and defense. For them the competition is about who shoots more (basically uncontested shootout). Again not all but you'd be surprised at how many wants a shootout.

Well i watched 2 minutes and saw 4 missed layups, an airball by MJ, an airball and a pass into the stands by Bird. But yes, I do see that they actually kinda give a fuck. Theres 2 things very noticeable though. The first is that the refs are officiating this like a real game. They are just as relaxed and lenient in todays ASG. Another is the 3's. Obvious I know. But it perfectly explains your last point. Theres a fuckload of space in todays game. Its almost impossible to guard the 3 at times. In this game, its all midrange and paint play. I saw 2 missed 3's in 6 minutes and thats it. Im sure if they were all shooters as they are now, it would look nearly identical.

We didn't realize how good we had it back then. Thanks for posting.

You can say what you want about players today, but the all star game of the NBA is going the same way as the NFL pro bowl went. Ergo: Players not playing hard, and the experience of watching the game suffers because of it. You could look at the scores and say that the all star games have always been higher scoring than the average of the time they are in. And while the NBA has a lot of talented shooters, it’s tough to say that defensive effort was there when one team scored 200+ points in a regulation game.

Much fewer stops. *The intensity of the defense (despite being an all-star game). *Most fouls are obvious. * The idea of singing the national anthem as weird as possible apparently goes further back than I thought.

I am 50 years old, from Washington State and I remember watching this game with my dad. We were so excited to get the All Star Game in Seattle to begin with. The only Sonic on the team was Tom Chambers, who was an alternate that replaced an injured Ralph Sampson, and went on to win the MVP. That was a great moment. RIP Seattle Supersonics, 1970-2008, 3 Finals Appearances, 1 NBA Championship.

Lebron is playing the "my ankle is sore card" in the 2nd half of the AS Game because he knows he has zero chance at MVP. Yes, that's how petty and narcissistic he is.

I graduated High School about 2 months later. Growing up in the golden age of the NBA was cool. Tyson Fights and Jordan games. What a blast. These millennials have ruined everything. I haven't been to a game in 20 years and haven't watched one at all in at least 15. I even gave up college hoops.

The P.A. announcer for the 1987 NBA All-Star Game was Jimmy Jones, the SuperSonics TV play-by-play broadcaster & former Trailblazers announcer. What a classic voice when class came 1st! Gave me goose bumps when he announced to the crowd post-game "Ladies & Gentleman the leading scorer of today's game with 34 pts....Tom Chambers! The Kingdome went nuts! What a special night for TC & the SuperSonic faithful that day in Feb '87!

@tanrirem42435 ай бұрын
I thought all star games always had no defense to open the door for more flashy stuff. Seeing this is really an eye opener, I'd rather see the best players actually play real basketball than see them shoot open threes and leave the paint open so that there's opportunity for flashy dunks. In every aspect this is a soft league. I don't care if people say stuff about him, in my opinion, whatever had remained from the NBA died when Kobe retired. He had the same mindset that these guys had.

It's always been a popularity contest for the fans, but in reality, for the players it was a competition and a platform to prove that you belonged to the best of the best.

And the nerve of these guys to Freeze out Jordan with only 2 points at halftime Nah all jokes aside one thing I loved about old school sports and the media is they did not have all the BS Hype before the game.
