“It definitely should’ve been televised”
The NBA decided to switch things up this year to increase ratings and the overall entertainment of the NBA All-Star game. Instead of playing the traditional East Vs. West game like they’ve done for so many years, this year they opted to choose captains and do a schoolyard pick. LeBron got to choose first, and while he didn’t reveal who he took, it’s pretty clear he took Kevin Durant. Take a look at his All-Star team.

Curry got 2nd pick in the All-Star draft, but at least he got to pick the color of jersey’s his team will wear. What do you think of his pick-ups?

The big issue everybody seems to have an issue with, including LeBron and Curry, is that the event wasn’t televised. There could be many reasons as to why the event wasn’t televised, maybe the captains didn’t want the public to know who got drafted and when? Maybe the NBA didn’t think it would garnish any ratings? Or maybe they just didn’t know how the players would handle it?

Which team do you have in this year’s All-Star Game? My bet is on #TeamLeBron.
