The NBA has announced that the Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference system will no longer be a part of the All-Star game, but will include two captains picking their own teams to battle it out for this season’s event in Los Angeles.
It’s no secret the NBA All-Star showcase has been a little hit and miss for some time now, but with the most recent change to the format of the weekend, we may see a return to the glory that once was the All-Star game.
The voting process will still take place as normal, players will be voted into the game by fans, players and media members, however the two all-stars with the most votes will be nominated as captains for each team.
