The NBA All-Star Game, for all its fanfare and pageantry, was a letdown with no defense or intensity leading to uncontested dunks and long-range shots.
Jayson Tatum has a record 55 points to lead Team Giannis to victory over Team LeBron on Sunday night in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game.In an effort to increase competitiveness, the league introduced charitable awards for winning each quarter and the inclusion of a target score to finish out the game.
Brown basically felt the same — that the league’s intentions were good but that the outcome was so-so. Clippers star Paul George said there was way less defense played than last year, and that it’s uncomfortable for players who defend to find the right moment to turn up the intensity. While “fixing” the All-Star Game to the point of highly competitive basketball is a foolish goal — it’s an exhibition game more than midway into an 82-game marathon. One agent suggested that maybe if players had more time off before and after the game the product would look better.
