NBA All-Star Draft Wasn't Televised Because of the Players Association

Fans were pumped when the NBA announced a new format for the All-Star game this year. Instead of the tired East vs. West matchup, the new format has the highest vote-getter from each conference serve as a team captain. The coolest part: both captains draft their teams.

This was/is cool! We'd get to find out things like who LeBron thinks is the third best player in the league, and whether Steph would dare pick Russell Westbrook ahead of Draymond Green.

That is, we'd get to find these things out if the draft was televised, or at the very least if the draft order was made public.
