Team Kyrie vs Team Al?

[mr. dee]

With the new format of All-Star games, I don't think we will see both Celtics players in one team, at least this year now that the captains have selected their players. Usually, we'd root for eastern team, especially if there is a celtic player in it. But now, Al and Kyrie will face each other in the all-star game.


It's not really important, but I'm curious how people feel about this.

I voted for I Don't Care. Awesome that both were recognized. However, last year's game was a joke. Worst one by far. Watched the first quarter last year and won't watch this year.

I only watch the Saturday night festivities these days, the actual game is boring as heck.

I’ll be rooting for Kyrie’s team. It’s got more exciting talent.

The rule change sucks, IMO.  I really enjoyed rooting for the EC back in the day with Bird, Jordan and Isaiah on the same team.  In those days, the game would start off as an exhibition event, but by the 2nd half the competitive juices were flowing and both teams really wanted to win.

Today, I don't care because the players don't care.  The freshman-soph game is interesting but almost always is a total dunkfest with a complete lack of defense, not a real game.

Skills competition is the best event, IMO.

I'm hoping the game gets a little feistier with teammates against each other, especially KD vs the other Warriors. But I'll believe it when I see it.

I don't care, the all-star game is the Harlem Globetrotters on steroids.

All-Star games were great when you had 4 channels on your turn dial TV and only got to see the greats if they played against your team and game was televised. I see so much of every player now a days, to see them all together isn't special (at least for me)

Meaningless spectacle. Watching the All Star game would bore me to tears.

I like watching basketball and every few years, the All Star game is good.  I'm hoping the LeBron's team is stacked narrative drives Curry's team to play super hard, turning the game into a measuring contest
