The NBA is strongly considering changing its 2025 All-Star Game to a tournament style format that would pit groups of All-Stars against one another, league sources confirmed to The Athletic on Friday.
The new concept would create three teams of eight All-Stars each, as well as a fourth team coming from the winner of the Rising Stars game. The teams would then face each other in a bracket competition.
they did the elam thing for a few years and it was really only good that first time.
all these new formats are band aids over the real problem that players just don’t give a shit about the all star game, and nothing is going to change that. they need to just go the NFL Pro Bowl route and replace the game with a bunch of silly activities.
