Yea it is super super late alrdy but just got time to finish all these typing, hopefully yall can gimme ur suggestions as well as ones i mention arent the best
Celebrity game:
LET MY MAN KAI CENAT HOOP!!!
I quite like the celebrity game actually, its gd to see all these ppl from different places hoopin tgt
My only suggestion will be to make it back to a 12 min quarter with time stopping whenever play's stopped. We definitely have celebs that received little playing time. Its not like Celebrity Games takes up much stamina, guys just have fun in it, would definitely look forward to more gametime and guys playin more mins
What they're doing is absolutely amazing tho, all the special features in these 2 years of the celebrity game made it an entertaining event, pls keep that
Rising stars:
I hate this tbh, just feels like the excitement is way lower. Yes its now a tournament typa game but if u look at the previous rising star games, where they dont need to care bout going for the targetted score, it's pure showtime stuff
Guys will let you do whatever u want, ignoring the defensive side, and just put on entertainment for the fans. While now, guys will defend, to win the tourney so most of the excitement is gone
Young guys especially those who isnt close to be an all star all want to show their best for the fans, maybe they did sth wild that fans will forever rmb them. They wont be like the all stars, not caring bout who won or what
Therefore, pls just change it back to the old format, let guys play a full 12 min game, not going for anything, just provide this platform to let them do whatever they want
Skills challenge:
Its definitely better than the previous format but its still quite crab, like who wants to see guys throwin balls at a huge huge 2-point target, or dribbling past 'fancy' obstacles.
Its tough to get a gd and entertaining skills challenge, I rlly cant give a great suggestion on it
If I rlly need to give one heres my proposal, to make it like a challenge where you go through checkpoints all at once, eg 3 layups, 3 hooks, 3 floaters, 3 FTs, 3 3s, dribble to other side of the court, pass the ball to small targets to truly test their pass accuracy, with them lighting up randomly to test player's alertness
Whoever makes the most shots will maybe move onto the next round, or even just win the challenge, I dont mind, just pls change the format again
3 point and Steph VS Sabrina challenge:
It is great great stuff. See how gd guys are shooting nowadays, 4 players tied at 26 points going into 2nd round, pure entertainment
Also the crossover between NBA & WNBA, what an event that is, probably the most exciting event for the whole all star weekend. Next year All Star weekend will be in Golden State, Curry & Klay VS Sabrina & Caltlin?
Dunk contest:
Mac McClung, saved the dunk contest again. Every dunk he did is just entertaining. Jacob Toppin is great too, got absolutely robbed. Other 2 especially Jaylen Brown...
Majority are saying that creative dunks are used up, dunk contest should be replaced, etc, but thats simply not the case. Take a look at those high school or college dunk contest, how is it still so entertaining? Just proves that dunks are not running out, its all on what the players decide to do
So pls, grab som guys that fr can jump, if all the guys in nba reject to do so, just get G League guys. Aim of the challenge has always been entertainment, who cares bout if its NBA players or not
All Star Game:
What should be the most entertaining event has basically turned into a piece of shit. Its fun to see stars tgt in a same team, what they are doing is just boringgg tho
And u cant blame them, all the all stars are on near 40M contract or boutta be given rookie max, the cash amount for the all star game is not more than 1M? So yea, they dont even care bout this tbh
And adding the cash price is also not an option, the league clearly wont invest more on cash award
Theres 2 popular ideas for the all star games
1. USA VS World
While the team's combination will be very interesting to see, it just took things over NBA level. Imagine Team World won, USA gonna be roasted so hard. This should not be a thing in NBA.
Also imagine if replacements are needed, how will they find it, according to season performance? Or base on which team needs replacement and restricted to pick from there. Some deserving all stars may be robbed with this
2. Winning side takes home court advantage in Finals
This just simply cannot happen. Whoever have the better record should still hv home court advantage. U cant just put Finals, biggest event of the league in a year, determined by All Star game, an entertainment event
Teams with no chance at making the Finals will still dont care bout this and play however they want
Suggestion:
The following suggestion isnt gd imo, but it might be the only option
Make All Star Game like the celebrity game
That means the whole game will be filled with random challenges, or maybe bonus points if u can do certain moves, etc. For example, a quarter with dunks resulting in 3 points, or if not much players are launching from way deep, give the players the 4 point line. Stuffs like this to hopefully spice up only the all star game but not affecting other aspects of the league
