I missed most of the All-Star festivities, including the game. When I did tune in, there were 9 players walking around and uninterested, and one guy dribbling and taking a shot. If it looked like they didn't care about playing, then why should I watch. There is far too much content out there to watch on TV, than to bother with an All-Star game now.Something definitely needs to be done to fix it, or just do away with it entirely. The players are only interested in being elected as an All-Star, as a means to reaching a contract incentive or gaining leverage towards their next contract. The love of the game or having a competitive spirit is lost on todays players toward the All-Star game.I'm happy for the people who did watch and were able to enjoy it.

Most crucial was a 4-point play during the fourth quarter when he knocked down a 3 while getting pushed out of bounds by defender Zach LaVine. Getting in the All-Star spirit, Brown also completed an alley-oop to himself off the glass.Jayson TatumBoston CelticsForward | Grade: A-Stats21 PTS | 4 REB | 7 ASTAnalysisThe active Tatum showed his improvement as a playmaker by handing out seven assists to go along with his 21 points. Taking defense seriously at times, Tatum also finished with a game-high four steals, including one when he denied a backdoor cut early in the game.
