The NBA All-Star game was facing a lot of challenges going into this weekend’s festivities.
First, there was the loss to NBA Commissioner Emeritus, David Stern. If that wasn’t enough, Kobe Bryant left the NBA family about a month ago in a helicopter crash that some are still is trying to come to grips with. As bad as those tragedies were, there was something even more important to address.
The NBA All-Star game had become garbage. It’s true and gives credit to Adam Silver, Chris Paul and the powers that be to at least try something to spice up the game.
