Why is the NBA All-Star Game format changing again? To boost competition — and intrigue
SHARE

The NBA All-Star Game is set to undergo yet another format change in the upcoming event in San Francisco. This time, the game will feature three teams composed of the top 24 players in the league along with the winner of the Rising Stars Challenge.

The main goal behind this change is to make the game more competitive and entertaining for fans watching on TV. NBA commissioner Adam Silver emphasized the importance of creating a strong experience for fans while also acknowledging the need to shake things up in order to increase player competitiveness.

The new format will include three games – two semifinals and a championship – with the first team to reach 40 points declared the winner. There is a prize money pool of $1.8 million, with the champion team earning $125,000 per player.

The selection process for All-Stars remains the same, with twelve players from each conference being named All-Stars through a combination of fan, media, and player voting. The teams will be divided by TNT analysts Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O’Neal, who are serving as honorary general managers.

The coaches for the All-Star Game will come from the staff of the first-place teams in each conference, with the head coach from each team coaching an All-Star team. The Rising Stars Challenge will be coached by an assistant from one of the staffs.

The league consulted with players, including stars like Stephen Curry, to make these changes in an effort to increase player competitiveness. Last year’s All-Star Game set a record for points scored, highlighting the need for a more competitive approach.

Fan voting for All-Stars will begin on December 19, with no changes announced to All-Star Saturday programming. It is expected that Curry and WNBA star Sabrina Ionescu will engage in a shooting competition during the event.

Overall, the NBA is looking to create a more exciting and competitive All-Star experience for both players and fans. With these new changes in place, the league is hoping to generate more excitement and engagement surrounding the event.
