The tournament format was interesting at best, and a disaster at worst. Games to 40 are too brief for professional basketball players, especially with the 3-point shot. Maybe it would have been compelling at the Brockton YMCA, but at Chase Center, many All-Stars barely played because the games were so brief.

Honorary coaches Tim Hardaway Sr., Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin drafted their respective teams on Feb. 4, each selecting seven players to build their squad. Jeremy Lin will coach the G-League team that will play in the event. Richmond had the first pick where he chose Houston Rockets second-year guard Amen Thompson.

Not only did P.K. Subban name names from the past who brought passion to the All Star game, but he didn’t name names of the current players who aren’t bringing that passion. But we know who that responsibility lies on.
