I just saw that Adam Silver is considering alternative formats for the NBA All-Star Game, in an effort to have something fans might actually enjoy watching. There are no details about what's under consideration, but this seems like a fun topic to speculate on.

Personally, I'd like to see the game replaced with a 3x3 tournament. The same 24 players could be assigned to 8 teams and play a three round tournament of short games.

I would also love a one on one tournament, but I know most of the best players would chicken out.

What say you?

Only if they light the ball on fire and do aerial acrobatics when they dunk

One on one would be fun it’d be like street ball

The best players are too afraid of losing to play one on one, but it would be the most interesting for fans.

I always thought the professor was good at 1 on 1.

I had never heard of him. Apparently he's a well-known street ball legend.

His ball handling and footwork is superb. I think that is why he is able to beat so many people.
