What a finish. LeBron James and Kevin Durant trapping Stephen Curry, playing defense for the win. The All-Star game appears to be fixed — or are we just blinded by what we saw in the last few minutes of the game?
While the focus is on how to fix the All-Star game, after watching the majority of the events over the weekend, I came to a conclusion: it’s not the All-Star game, but the entire All-Star Weekend that is broken.
Eliminating the East-West teams in favour of captains drafting their teams added a lot of intrigue to the game, but if you take out the last three minutes of the contest, it’s relatively the same glorified pickup game of past.
