The NBA All-Game has dramatically improved this year, and it's thanks to the collaboration between the NBA front office and the commonwealth of the players. Last year, the NBA revamped the All-Star game with a new format, and it went into effect this year. For once, players got the opportunity to see the league's best compete with effort, which is proven further by the 148-145 final score in which Team LeBron won by playing air-tight defense on Stephen Curry.
In any case, there is still room for improvement in the entire All-Star game weekend. For one, many fans complained about the unexciting Dunk Contest and Skills Challenge. Although the All-Star game is supposed to be the focus of the entire break, these events lacked any excitement for fans and were blatantly repetitive. Specifically, many fans were upset with the three-point shooting contest and felt that changes needed to be made to the contest that has been around for more than 30 years.
Mainly, the users on Reddit had a clever idea on what the new three-point shooting contest should consist of. The thread suggests that the NBA should allow some of the greatest three-point shooters in league history to compete in the contest. Players like Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, and Glen Rice would all be eligible to compete in this new contest.
This is definitely an interesting idea. After all, the three-point shooting contest has been going on for years. If the league continues their progressive attitude, this change could end up on the bucket list. That would be great news for fans and old players looking to join the All-Star festivities.
