Was This THE WORST NBA ALL STAR WEEKEND EVER?

from The NBA RUNDOWN Hosted by BANTER AND CO

NBA ALL-STAR Game CRITICISM Is Justified, And Here’s Why. Sorry, Kevin Hart, but as funny as you are, most people who tuned in to watch this year's revamped NBA All-Star Game were expecting more basketball—not more Kevin Hart. Too many gimmicks, excessive commercial breaks disrupting the flow of the game, an overload of Kevin Hart, and not enough actual basketball—these are all valid criticisms of this year's NBA All-Star Game. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver set out to fix the long-standing issue of players not competing hard in All-Star Games, a problem that has persisted for the past decade. While the revamped format did deliver considerably more effort from the players—the new format introduced its own set of challenges and ultimately resulted in a heap of criticism about the new format, which at times felt more like an Off-Broadway show than a basketball game. Here are some of the headlines: Awful Announcing - The NBA All-Star Game is an abomination that is beyond fixing Yahoo - NBA All-Star Game draws deluge of criticism for tournament format, broadcast and so much Kevin Hart NBC News - The NBA All-Star Game is still searching for answers despite new format Deadspin - Draymond Green Is Right, the NBA All-Star Game Sucks #nba #nbahighlights #nbahighlightstoday Read Article: https://underratedmedia.substack.com/p/nba-all-star-game-criticism-is-justified
