AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel, Hires Bud

I didn't watch the all star game but it looked pretty disappointing.  I am not sure how it is fixed with all the $ the players make.  Very little benefit to go out there and play hard and risk an injury.

But there is a difference than playing open gym basketball vs playing at 1/4 your regular speed and showing no motivation.  Luka is the worst of this.  To play like that when you are one of the faces of the league is disappointing.  Almost wish he would decline an all star game with some fake injury. 

Again, I would prefer him not get injured in games like this, but it is a really bad look in my opinion on how him and Jokic plays these games.

Do what NFL is doing with Pro-Bowl...

Have the players compete in games/sports with no risk of injury.   This will also allow the fans to get a better idea of the players personality.   No one really knows the players personality when you basically only see them on a court from afar.   Example...NFL had the Par 3 closest to the hole golf challenge.   Cameras could be right up in the players face before and after the swing.  

The All-Star Game is done unless they put significant money on the line for players to win...not charities.  Do something else.
