The NBA All-star game is lame. The idea of the weekend is fun, but the game itself itself is a half-assed playground session. The dunk contest relies on props, the three-point contest is too short to care about, and the final game lacks heart.
I know the players don't want to get hurt because they have big contracts on the line etc. But what's the point? The Pro Bowl suffers from the same apathy, but at least they're trying to do something about it.
There needs to be a reason to try. Baseball gives their teams home field advantage in the finals. Is it fair? Maybe not, but it makes the all-star game worth playing for. So let's get a clue, NBA. Let's inject some life into the all-star game.
