Fans who watched the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night witnessed some of the most exciting All-Star basketball in a while. Players were actually involved in the game, defense was being played, and everyone was having fun. Needless to say, LeBron James had a great time.
Team LeBron won by a narrow two points in a fantastic 157-155 shootout over Team Giannis. It was obvious in his body language that James had a lot of fun in the process. J.A. Adande asked LeBron to share his thoughts on the new format of the game, and The King said he had fun playing the game with some of the best talents in the NBA:

LeBron has now played in 16 NBA All-Star Games, so he has pretty much seen it all. However, this game had to be one of the most eventful and fun of those 16. The level of tension and drama at the end of the game was unreal. It was during those final minutes that the All-Star Game had the feel of an actual playoff matchup. Seeing all of these big superstars play some of their best basketball was definitely a sight to behold for the players, coaches, and fans alike.
Since this experiment proved to be a success, expect this innovation to stick for future All-Star Games, with perhaps other smaller tweaks to the format. Hopefully, LeBron James will get to play in several more of these before he calls it a career.
