An idea to discourage super teams and make the All-Star Game more competitive

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I like that, combine it with virtually no money for the losing team and a huge payday for the winning team and the All-star game may be watchable again.

I still find it hard to believe the NBA is going to pay 12 million dollars (on top of w/e it cost to put on the production) just to make the all-star game better.

It doesn't make sense to make it competitive in the first place. All-star break is the only relatively long rest the players get.

Ideas/threads such as these are likely to completely dominate Cy's day.

How much do they currently pay these players? Also how much more could they make if the players acted like they cared? I might watch an all star game if it was slightly entertaining. As it is now, I have 0 interest. The same amount of interest as the players have in the game.

Then don't even bother with the farce of playing the game.

There are people who enjoy watching it. They just need to make it shorter and have a running clock if they dont make any incentive changes. I think it's fun, but I dont enjoy watching the entire thing.

Everyone is talking about the useless All Star game. Can we talk about whether this idea helps achieve a more even distribution of stars across teams? And whether that's a good or a bad thing?
