All Star Weekend Thread

Overall the weekend was a great success. The NBA product of All Star weekend sucks as it usually does, but the weekend went smooth, everything was well attended (despite some late arriving crowds, which is generally the status quo at the AS game). The NBA estimated a $280 million economic impact on SLC, an NBA record, no bad inversion, decent weather all weekend long, and despite the boring jab from a couple guys who were too busy all weekend to go try any food or parties throughout the weekend, it was a great success. I would say plenty of people in fact came to Utah for the All Star game.

I am sure plenty of people will find a way to tie this to Utah instead of to the fact that the ASG absolutely sucks balls. They might as well just have the Friday and Saturday events and on Sunday have a big concert or something with a medal ceremony for the all stars and skip the game altogether.

Either that or they seriously need an overhaul of the format. The current format is terrible and frankly the "game play", if you can call it that, is atrocious. Something needs to tie it back to competition at the highest level, which is what the fans want to see, not playground one on one antics by known ball-hogs and nothing but garbage plays trying to run the score up into the 200's. It was maybe the most boring ASG I have seen even parts of in recent memory.
