Or maybe it was only in the 4th quarter? Guys were less buddy buddy with players from other teams then though.Why would they go at each other in this day & age? There's absolutely nothing at stake. The NBA needs to figure out how to make the All-Star game a meaningful event (if there's even an interest in doing so). Otherwise it's just fanfare and the players will continue to lean into that.What was at stake in the 80s? PrideMaybe there is too much money on the line these days and these guys see themselves as businesses.Of course they see themselves as businesses, why should they not? Franchises generate billions of dollars off of players, and those players are keying into the fact that they can do that for themselves. Look at Greg Oden versus Dwight Howard. One of those players is a lot richer than the other and that's on account of staying on the court.Pride isn't winning a meaningless exhibition game. Pride is setting up my family for generational wealth well beyond my existence.

Unclear if the players are burning more calories on the court or sitting on the bench.
