    All star game cash bonus that decreases with the amount of points you let the other team score. (Lets say the bonus is 5mil and decreases by $50,000 every point you let the other team score over 100) Make a show of it. Have graphics that show the money draining so evryone is aware cos the money isnt the point, pride is.
    Maybe even let steals and blocks take money from the other team but fouls give it back so it doesnt get overly physical.
    Tell the coaches to bench lazy players. If you aint trynna play you aint gotta be there, sit on the bench fr.

  • @tonj02
    @tonj02 8 месяцев назад +11

    There are tons of easy fixes.
    One would be making the game a halfcourt game and condense the floor even more by only extending the floor about 5 feet behind the 3pt line instead of all the way to the normal halfcourt line. This would make the game more like an irl pickup game. And because the floor is condensed, it makes playing defense easier, and it eliminates players form lollygagging up and down the full court.
    Another one is to make the game 6 minute quarters for the first 3, then 10 minutes in the 4th. That way they don’t have to spend 36 minutes messing around before they finally get to the last quarter. This speeds through the part of the game that’s not as serious, then let’s them actually give effort for a 10 minute period.
    Another one is do some type of king of the court instead of the game.
    One that I think would be cool is scrap the game since they don’t want to do it, and grab some of the best defenders in the league and have them go one on one with some of the best scorers in the league. Rules can be whatever. Maybe 3 or 5 dribble max if they wanted. Defenders only play defense, and scorers only play offense. Scorer doesnt score, defender gets a point, scorer makes a shot he gets a point. Perimeter players face off and bigs face off so that there’s no cross matches like a trae young against nic Claxton.

    Here’s some solutions for the All Star Weekend Events: Some these events are too complex and need to be simple.
    Celebrity Game- Get some celebrities that can actually hoop and let them play. Stop tryna get the most popular people that acts like they can play knowing that they can’t.
    Rising Stars- Be competitive. Just that simple.
    Skills- Go back to the old format. It was nothing really wrong with it.
    3Pt- nothing don’t change it.
    Dunk Contest- the most difficult thing to change. Superstars don’t wanna do it cuz they’re mad p*ssy and afraid to get embarrassed and losing to someone who not a Star like them. It’s hard to come with a solution. These dudes today afraid of losing and being embarrassed front of millions of people I guess.
    Shoutout to Jaylen Brown for participating even some of his dunk were boring.
    All-Star Game- be competitive, yall don’t gotta perform like it’s game 7 but damn show better effort on defense. Yall gonna play harder to make the Olympic team in the summer. No one wanna see 211-186 scores.
    They might have to make some new events or bring back some old ones.

    Combine All-Star weekend with the In-Season tournament. Have the group play be in January and then knockout round in February. Expand all star roster to account for players that play in the championship game of the in season tournament (kinda like how the NFL does the Pro Bowl/SB). All star game should be pickup style, all ones, first 21, best 3 out of 5. Take the entire week off from games for all star , unless you’re a quarterfinalist for the tournament. Those games will start all star week in whatever city it’s in. That way, there is enough time during the week for corporate and sponsor obligations to be met by players. And they’ll all be in one place.

  • @nanagyambibi7426
    @nanagyambibi7426 8 месяцев назад

    I have spent alot of time thinking about this. Ok lets start with a shift in the schedule. The last games before the break should be on Sunday. So players are going to get Monday -Thursday off. The ASG will still be on the next coming Sunday but then players go to their next cities and prepare to have a game on Tuesday. Celeb game is what it is. But bring back Rookie Soph game, No USA vs the world, no drafting players. Keep it traditional, the best 9 rookies vs the best 9 soph. On Saturday between events have a 10 min performance from a variety of artist throughout the night. I would like to see artist that the kids would get excited for, Drake, Kendrick, Travis, Doja Cat, Billie Eillish. Now for the events. We should stick with 4 events but I think we should have a large pool of events to pick from. So I think we should have Dunk, 3pt, Skillz, but we should also add a 1 vs 1 tourney, and a 20 man game of knockout(5 NBA players, 5 fans, 5 Celebs, and 5 legends) Every year we only play 4 of the 5, each year 1 event will not played. Also for the love of God, let the 3pt contest be the last event of the night.

    Move it to after the season. Move the in-season tournament (IST) playoff to where the ASG is now. Give money to all participants and a top 10 guaranteed draft picks to the winner only for the IST. Pay the ASG participants and ensure the location is dope. ASG MVP and defensive player of the game both get cap incentives or an extra mid-level exception for their team. If that doesn't fix it, get rid of it to show how loss will impact their legacy.

Load management nothing but 3's no real rivalries anymore tons of flopping no players care until playoffs start they added 2 extra seeds to the playoffs making the teams that much more lazier so they can just sit around by the 10 seed and start trying when the playoffs approach.

    At this point, I think the incentive should be more negative. They should dock the pay, or establish a quota that the players need to meet in order to get paid. These dudes get paid millions. At bare minimum, each player should try to strive for 10 to 15 points, five rebounds, five assists, and then establish bonuses for defensive stats like steals and blocks so that they can try defense. Either that or they just get rid of the All-Star game completely and if the players complain about it, they have no one to blame but themselves. This is supposed to be a game that they are passionate about playing. What other time are you gonna play games with teams this good? However, fans are also to blame. Because they keep making claims that this game doesn’t matter and these players are saving themselves so they don’t get injured. How often do you see a player get injured in this damn game? Even at its height you hardly saw people getting injured in this game. It’s just a copout people like Luka showing little to no effort is a bad look. It’s even worse because people had that team winning the game.
