NBA All Star Ratings Hit All Time Low

[tornado]

Obviously they have taken an immensely popular game and
turned into something nobody seems to give a dang about.
Could it be the egos, the self-appointed superstars, the thuggery, the total disconnect
that most NBA stars have with real people?
You decide..

i haven't been interested in NBA since the Bulls' glory days. seems to me that the players are too much into dunk and such, especially the all star game where there is no defense played. i mean the dunk contest is on sat, dont need to see them get all flashy during the game. i think its too image based for me to get into pro ball anymore...

The only team I really like watching are the Jazz, and to some extent the Suns. I don't think Steve Nash is by any means the best basketball player in the league, but I do think he maximizes his talent every game, and plays smart, which does make him the MVP he is. I just like watching the Jazz to check on Deron and because they play very unselfish basketball.

I caught 3 minutes of the 3rd quarter and it was no different then catching 3 minutes of the show "streetball"

Zero defense, wild 40 foot lob passes, dunks missed dunks horrible horrible game but its what it is now, hip hop and to be seen and who is seeing who wants to be seen.
