The NBA is looking to borrow one of the NHL's best ideas in recent memory. NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the league is exploring the idea of replacing the All-Star Game with an international competition that pits players from the United States against other top players from all around the world, according to The Athletic.
Silver — and president of league operations Byron Spruell — made those comments to the Associated Press Sports Editors on Monday.
Silver pointed out that next year's All-Star Game will take place during the Winter Olympics, which inspired the NBA to think internationally.
