Will the NBA All-Star Game, which has existed since 1951 and is played in February, change its appearance? According to ESPNthe North American pro league is working on the issue. Instead of the match between two All-star selections, she would rather think of a tournament which would bring together four teams.
The first three would each be made up of eight players. The fourth and last would be the victorious one in the Rising Stars Challenge, the match which pits first or second year professional players in the NBA against each other during the All-Star Game weekend. The new formula mentioned would be a Final Four with semi-finals and final.
At the end of the last All-Star Game, which ended with an astronomical score of 211-186, Adam Silver, the boss of the NBA, recognized that the level of the “All-Star Game” had dropped considerably. The next edition will take place on February 16 in San Francisco, the city of the Golden State Warriors.
