Shaq: “What do they wear down there, Chuck?” 😂

He was mad with the players after the game and had to give away an MVP trophy. He should have chose not to hand out the award since the players didn't even listen to him...

I truly feel like money is the issue. Zion Williamson made $75 million just from a Nike endorsement before he ever bounced a single ball in the NBA and could have made $100 million if he went with a Chinese brand! If it were me, I'd make the guaranteed contracts a little less guaranteed. I wouldn't necessarily go to straight game checks, but I wouldn't just give guys guaranteed contracts. Regarding the ASG, maybe each player of the winning team gets $1 million or maybe it triggers a clause in their contract. * you're an all star starer - extra $1 million at the end of the year * you make the all star roster but not a starter - extra $250K at the end of the year * you're on the winning team - another $1 million. The loser gets nothing. It's a shame that we're at the point where we need to BEG players to play. This is part of the reason why I don't watch much NBA these days, until the playoffs start.

It's so simple. You make the players play for the title of All Star. Winning team's players can call themselves League All Stars. Losing team gets Conference All Star

that's what happen when you choose the 'wrong' face of the NBA to set the tone.

I blame Lebron James 😕

diversity hres....

He just stated facts and he said he was following suit of what he’s seeing in the NFL. They don’t have a pro bowl anymore. They now moved to flag football. Because in any of the sports, the players just don’t want to get hurt anymore they have too much to lose so do the owners. They stopped why because it’s not just on the players the owners don’t want the players getting hurt in these games. I think one of the biggest problems is the referee problem.

Totally agree, this league is trash now.

Dunk contest was a failure also​@Nancy-M745

@@Nancy-M745 nobody has ever gotten hurt in an all star game. That’s an excuse. Either they’re soft or they just don’t care.

You missed the word all-star in your comment

Load management, or all star load management

It used to be a great game, because players took pride in competing.

Skinny jean era ruined basketball

The era is not soft. The league got very strict when the Malice at the palace happened. The league NEVER wants to see that again.

Except not talking about the bad refs

@@fernandod2865 bad refs are rooted from the upper people, they just following orders, if you exposed them the NBA will just fire them they are always be the fall guys

​@@mentalprograming5365What about the NFL then?

But let me drop in a Taylor Swift comment at the end. 🙄🙄

Speak for yourself. The dunk contest used to be an amazing event. It's lost so much hype since the 2016 one with gordon and lavine. Also, you are failing to identify the problem in the second paragraph. People not playing defense anymore is not because of the spacing, for the most part, it's a direct cause of the officiating, which is caused by the league's rules, and what's considered a foul now compared to the past. The rules don't ALLOW players to play defense is the issue. Most people know that. People call the players soft because of the whole load management bs, taking extended breaks for the most minor injuries. and the constant flopping and complaining.

diversity hire

because they are well pamepered and paid 30-50 mil per year guarantee, I will do the same since the checks is more imporrtant than the fans, unless NBA will do something about it, Im paid based o my contract not by fans point of view

they couldn't play in the nba if they didn't care. the ones that do care the most are the ones playing.

He talks alot but the truth is every move he makes is for money. Thats why the game has turned into hot garbage

​@@Dre_Key a lot. Not alot

you must not listen well.. Adam Silver literally says in this video 75 percent of nba veiwers are outside of america.. watch the way the game is played and go watch euro league.. the nba literally has adapted the euro league style for the past 5 years or so... american style is no longer played, americans are better defenders and athletes according to all of basketball history.. euros are better shooters and move the ball better accordint to basketball history.. the warriors opened a can of worms because steve kerr took the spurs style of play which was rooted in euro-centric basketball style and put it on steroids... you guys keep blaming the players, its the most low iq stuff i see.. the players have a contract to play the game a certain way or they can put pride first and be sitting on a couch or outside the league.. you see weird uneducated fans all the time confused about why certain players arent in the league or how certain players dont get many minutes because the understanding of basketball is extremely low... the league is pushing only the guys willing to transition their game to euro style because the revenue bulk is coming in from people who dont like american style to begin with.. the league is putting their larger fanbase first.. the league doesnt care about the little punk 25 percent its fanbase that comes from america.. it cares about the larger fanbase.. the people who dont play the american way.. why dont yall understand this is business.. why do yall keep blaming players as if they are commisioners and team owners.. what kind of dumb shit is that ?

@@kifacorea iPhone spell check👍

Stern was so strict, the players went on strike and he just said f it, go ahead and not play I don't care. Players came crawling back. Adam Silver is a spineless coward who let the players walk all over him and now they feel they can do whatever they want.

ah yes, the days where we see players backing up their opponent for 20 seconds.

82 game is too long, they should reduce it to 58 (each team face all other teams twice). Less injuries, more competitive and frankly most regular season games are not interesting anyway. But... this will mean less income -> lower salaries, so no chance its gonna happen.

I would just remove the 3 second violation on the paint and that would instantly would fix the defensive issues in the NBA. If the players can pack the paint then the ball handler can't just drive into the moment the defense step out. the kick out would be less common. The pacing would more crowded for slashers. Mid range would be incentivize. The NBA need to bring back the dress code. It's disrespectful seeing this players using their off day as "Pasarella" to show up their jewelry,stupid clothing decisions and lack of taste or fashion on the bench while his teammates are working. It's embarrassing and disrespectful to the sport. If you ain't playing then don't be on the bench and if you want to be on the bench just dress accordingly to respect your teammates working. Respect the court time because at the end of the day the jersey, the warmers,sneakers are all uniforms why players are allow to disrespect the workspace wearing whatever the heck they want on the bench?. Hand checking is whatever. Hand checking do exist in the NBA still. If you watch the games players always got an hand on the opposite player. The rule that need to be changes is giving foul on defenders went the Offensive players is provoking the contact. If i'm running right by side you and you jump why i'm getting a foul?. It makes no sense.

Never happening. Especially hand checking

I'm a 3rd year season ticket member for the Miami Heat. I think people just make general statements about how expensive sports tickets are without really knowing exactly what they're talking about. You can get season tickets for as little $25-30 a game in several NBA cities. And get put on a monthly payment plan And fans have not been taken out of the equation. American fans have been replaced with people from other countries because they made so many changes to the game to make it a more European style game to accommodate more global players coming into the league all to make more money.

This is an underrated comment and a brilliant idea..

The players don’t want to play. Either way the all star is done for. This generation doesn’t love hoops like the OGs

@@JayT0010 This generation earns way too much for 5 mil to make a difference. The All Star Game is not a priority because it doesn't matter. Regular season and playoffs matter more. The average fan isn't going to care if his/her star player played well at an all star game in february but they will care if they led them to a championshop. If that star plays hard in an ASG and gets hurt and misses the playoffs, what's the point?

@@JayT0010they are too complacent, rarely do we see players with the drive of MJ, Kobe and Larry Bird anymore, nevermind the drive plus the skill set.

If it came down to U.S. NBA players against the World NBA players...The World NBA players would win because they want to prove that they are the best. The U.S. players do not care. SAD

@@seshadhri_s But I thought players today are more faster, stronger and more skilled? They are so strong, they can't even play a full 82 game schedule or close to it like the old-heads did. I guess all those modern training equipments are just for a show 😂

Or remove the 3 point at all, so everybody will be forced to make buckets much deeper

I understand you're thinking. But the league get paid though the TV deal. If I was a owner. I would think fans coming to game is afterthought. Which cheaper tickets for game so people can come.

@@pauloshman6188 If they get their money from tv deals, make the tickets cheaper so the average fan can go and take their kids too.

@@kolohe4169 That's what I'm saying.

I'm a Lebron fan who lives in New York. I watch him once a season and I'm embarrassed to say how much I pay for tickets. It's ridiculous, especially when over half the fans around you only want to eat, drink, and piss. So annoying.

@@Powerule23 I can see that can be annoying. And very costly specially New York. Like I said. Wish the owners did make tickets cheaper for experience for family. Since they making fortune from TV. I live Orlando and since we are tourist town. Tickets are not that bad. Sometime you find deals for games. Resale or higher level sometime like $50.

Guys are so athletic now they don't need to cheat anymore.

David Stern rolling over in his grave right now looking at the league today

That started before Stern left.

Hand checking was banned under David Stern. But yes, it needs to come back. Guys today have the benefit of better training, and across the board, they're better athletes than back in the day. Scoring is way too high.

@@Powerule23 yes but defense and intensity wasn't. nor was ESPN ignoring the entire league to talk about 1 team every day all day because of 1 player

It’s sad cause I bet he’s trying, but it’s nothing he can do, he can’t make them play with heart

The format should be change. If we put All-stars vs D-legue all-stars / NCAA top prospects. These NBA all-stars will try harder because of the fear of embarassment.

​​@@joeymannyI like this idea 💡 it would make the all-star more interesting since the nba players wouldn't want to lose, so the players would actually compete

@@Impossibleisnothing990 yes imagine lebron or curry getting cooked by college stars that will be gihlight reel stuff, or AD collapsing against G-leugers. Then 90's rules

@@joeymanny yep then the players would take the all-star game seriously

@@ilversbendrups320 but dont post up🤣🤣

@@Dre_Key Porzingis, Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, I think Porzingis is averaging most points per post up in history this season... No one can guard them...

@@ilversbendrups320 bro the rule changes basically made the game perimeter oriented. There are no more Dreams, Tim Duncan's KG's and C Webb matchups to look forward to. The mid range game is almost non existent, and players get free layups in the paint with no bigs around... its a mess...

@@ilversbendrups320 I prefer the past centers who really played the paint and make hard for those guards trying to be fancy. Now we have soft big guys thinking ther are SG, lack of effort

Stern yes,Silver No

What exactly is wrong with that? The league is growing and is healthier than it has ever been. The players and owners are getting more money than ever and the forecasts are all very positive. What is wrong with “pleasing everyone” - seems to be a very American attitude, only wanting a few pleased and leave the others to suffer

💯💯💯

@@NebraskaGonvilleJones What's wrong is that the game is god awful and soft. Barely any defense played, players rewarded for flopping, players crying about a 65 game minimum while being payed 300mil+, the all-star games disasters, etc. It's clear as day that the basketball product is cooked

He mentioned that on the video. It still generates revenue, it's growing steadily and fast. We just gotta accept that this is where this generation's basketball is headed. That was implied in the interview as well. If people stop watching, buying tickets, buying merch, then there will be changes. But they aren't stopping, are they? Someone like you (if not you) can complain or whine that it's soft, but still watch their videos, their games, these interviews, then it won't matter.

​@@NebraskaGonvilleJonesthere needs to be more of a balance

I'm a 3rd year season ticket member for the Miami Heat. I think people just make general statements about how expensive sports tickets are without really knowing exactly what they're talking about. You can get season tickets for as little $25-30 a game in several NBA cities. And get put on a monthly payment plan.

I've been watching since the 60's and can't remember a single injury. The All Star Game used to be great to watch -- it was super competitive. Some really stood out. I recall Jerry West hitting the winning basket with 1 second to go in the '72 game, I think it was, and his teammates being ecstatic. I remember another where Randy Smith of Buffalo hit a basket at the buzzer of all four quarters in a tight game. And one more where two teammates from the Warriors, Rick Barry and Phil Smith, played exactly like two teammates should, getting steals off double teams and running the floor and looking for each other for baskets as they brought the West from behind. The game is just unwatchable now.

Dwayne Wade broke Kobe's nose in the All-Star Game, and Kobe had to wear a mask for a little bit. Since players like to team up and form superteams nowadays, whenever you see 2 teams play in the regular season. You can potentially see several All-Star level players amongst the 2 teams on the court at once. Nowadays, that's essentially the competitive All-Star game you would like to see in the actual All-Star game.

Not sure that would be a fair game anymore. International teams with 1 or 2 NBA players are giving team USA trouble these days. Team USA may not stand much of a chance against the current crop of international talent.

I’m against USA vs world all star game honestly
