The NBA’s new All-Star Game format, featuring a four-team, single-elimination tournament with a target score of 40, received mixed reviews from players.
Many criticized the frequent stoppages, including Trae Young, who said, “I didn’t like it at all. The breaks were too long, and the games were too short.” Shai Gilgeous-Alexander agreed but admitted the game felt more competitive than in previous years.
Stephen Curry, who won All-Star MVP, defended the format: “We needed something fresh and different.” However, Draymond Green was frustrated by the inclusion of Rising Stars players, arguing that Sunday’s All-Star Game should be reserved for top NBA talent.
Despite missing LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Anthony Edwards, the event ended with Team OGs defeating Chuck’s Global Stars 41-25, led by Curry and Damian Lillard.
