Do people actually watch the NBA All Star game?

Hasn't been any good for years IMO.

Agree. It’s painful to watch. And I only watch about 10 minutes of it. Marv Albert is calling the game like it’s game 7 of the finals.

Why even bother with it. Give the cry baby/Lebron the days off.

I hate the new format...it is absolutely terrible! I watched some of it last night and there were a couple highlights. One...Lebitch missed like 3 or 4 layups! I was dying. The other highlight was the ally-oop to Chef Steph Curry...probably the best part of the game for me. Other than that it was a snooze fest

Used to be the highlight of my year back in the late 80s-early 90s when I was a kid.

However, that was when you didn't ever get to see most of these guys on TV except for 1-2 times a year if they weren't in your local market.

All Star games...MLB, NBA, Pro Bowl...that all was magic back then. Now, meh, not at all.....you just see all of the players everywhere now.

I don’t watch the NBA at all.

I don't normally watch NBA either but my two youngest are into it so we watched the all star game ad we will watch certain NBA games

pikkagtr · 03-29-2021, 06:23 PM

I was told that I was not the target audience
So my 26 yrs as a spurs fan and buying league pass for most of those years and making a tradition of watching them play the warriors when they were in town during the rodeo road trip is now sadly over
Too woke for me
To be honest I don't really miss it
It's just a Rec league now
Dribble dribble dribble ......pass shoot a 3
Rinse and repeat
No defense no plays called no post game

That certainly sums up the self-professed NBA MVP James Harden. Dude is annoying. But yeah overall the NBA has changed dramatically.

Rshas · 03-30-2021, 04:52 AM

I don't usually watch the NBA, but my dad loves to watch. So sometimes I join him.

tcphoto · 03-30-2021, 02:03 PM

I suspect that people play it on their PlayStation, not the actual game. It was a must watch when played by MJ, Magic, Bird, etc. but no more.

Is it just me, or is Chris Webber a great commentator for TNT? He's smooth, knowledgeable, and funny.

I haven't listened to him in a while as I haven't been watching much NBA lately but yeah, he's a good commentator. Been watching my local Hawks every now and then on local TV. They've improved a lot and I think their head coach is the main reason (Nate McMillan). I remember Nate when he was playing for the Seattle Supersonics when I was young growing up in Seattle.

LaVitaEBella · 05-06-2021, 10:53 PM

I do watch it but I am not a super fan of the NBA.

TiMSport · 05-06-2021, 10:55 PM

More of a soccer fan nowadays myself.

Not since they went all political, no thanks

Instead of kneeling, Lebron can continue to sit.
