NBA commissioner Adam Silver says All-Star Game needs 'reset'

[MikelArteta]

"I just think this is one where we just have to reset," Silver continued. "Chris' suggestion was let's get back with maybe the same group we negotiated the collective bargaining -- Michael Jordan on the owners' side, Jeanie Buss, Wyc Grousbeck, James Jones, Kyle Korver and LeBron [James] and others -- let's all get back together and figure out a way to do this."

Silver and Paul tossed around potential ideas like having team captains select starters instead of fan balloting, or instituting a 4-point shot to enhance the All-Star Game.

"It is an All-Star Game, and you are out there to have fun," Silver said. "You hear people talking about 4-point shots, something that's not about to happen in the NBA but maybe in an All-Star Game; maybe there's a few spots on the floor where it is a 4-point shot, maybe there's a half-court shot in the last minute that is 10 points. I don't know. Maybe those are crazy ideas.

"I encourage people [to email] Adam@NBA.com," Silver added. "We will change it by next year. It shouldn't be playoff intensity, but the guys should be playing.

Silver: Changes coming to All-Star Game

The NBA needs a reset. The all star gm is just a reflection of league wide bishazzness

 

[Koapa]

Theres too much money at stake for teams and their star players. Nobody is gonna play too hard and risk injury. Look at Kyle Lowry. I can accept a star player getting injured during a regular season game but not all-star game.

Each side needs a retired great on the bench. The more years he's been out the league the more his points are worth
Like Bill Russell 2's are worth 50 pts if he hits a 3 automatic game over
