"Not exactly exciting" is not quit the same as boring so I will give you that.

Only charity critics have any esteem in my eyes. The people who complain on their time, and their dime, and don't expect 2 weeks vacation a year for doing it. |
True but whoever you are. If you print it people are going to respond to it.

When watching an actual NBA game it's fun to watch players that play team winning basketball. The All-Star game is not about that. It's about individual great players and great plays; Alley-oops, crossovers, sick dunks, great passes, etc.
If it was about team we could have the Spurs players play eachother. I'm sure people would love that.
Rip and Chauncey are good players on a great team that play well together, but you can't tell me either one of them is a "star". I'm not saying they shouldn't have been all-stars; i'm just saying they're not exactly going to wow you.
If the crowd response was any indication, most ppl there weren't exactly thrilled watching the game. I like that it was close and competitive in the 4th so maybe i'll just FF to there next time.
edited to add;
I take that back about the Spurs. Ginobli and Parker at the least would be extremely entertaining. |
Truthfully. Over the years I usually have not watched the all-star game in its entirety because there typically have not been any Pistons in it and as you have pointed out is usually not much of a game. Just superstars all trying to be the MVP with the winner being the one able to hog the ball the most in the 4th quarter. The one this year had 3 Pistons in it and was actually a very competitive game. I think it will go down in all-star history as one of the better games.
