During the All-Star break, the previous generation's stars actually showed up and tried to popularize the sport. If the players then had been like the players now, I doubt the league would have ever gotten off the ground. It sounds harsh, but we will see what happens when labor troubles boil up. The big names didn't show up Saturday night in Dallas because they might lose to a relative unknown. Who knows what a slump that might cause in sneaker sales? Somehow, Dominique Wilkins made the Basketball Hall of Fame despite losing the dunk contest to Spud Webb in 1986. I always used to enjoy the NBA All-Star Weekend, but the last few years I feel like why am I watching. The actual game has been good the past few years but Saturday events need to change or change of people. The dunk contest is dead and boring. All the dunks that can be done have been done and for you to tell them that they can't use props is ridiculous. And them adding the game of HORSE I commend but it got boring after a while. I've had more exciting backyard games of HORSE than that. All I am saying is that it is called All-Star Weekend for a reason. Your All-Stars are suppose to participate not let all these rookies do all the work because nobody knows them yet and are not interested in them. Players just look at All-Star Weekend now as a time to get a break and recover for a few days.
