Severe criticism against how it has come to be played All-Star Game of NBA unleashed by Igor Rakosevic.
The veteran guard who played in the Euroleague but also in American Leaguecommented on the fact that the game of his stars NBA has been produced softemphasizing that in general, basketball in the USA is going in the same direction.
In detail what he said:
“I’d wake up at midnight to watch NBA All-Star, tape it and watch the same game 200 times…Games like the playoff final, players honoring their jersey, playing their best and they were trying to prove to each other who is better and bring victory to their side.
And today, they ruined the All-Star game so much, with a pointless Skills Challenge, with no effort in the game to the point of embarrassment, with deliberately avoiding the opponent, shooting from 10 meters… I haven’t watched it in years. Total commercialization and pampering of the stars.
Unfortunately, the entire NBA has been heading in this direction for a long time now, with very few players and teams being exceptions. Soft play, no return to defense, a million interruptions, absence of serious tactics (especially in defense), irresponsibility of even the best players, technical fouls for the slightest expression of emotion.”
