I don’t want to sound old but they really did used to play defense in the All-Star Game. 4th quarter is amazing now but we haven’t recovered from 192-182 in 2017.
Incidentally, 2017 was the first All-Star Game after Kobe retired. He kept the competition level high, no Elam Ending required.
The TNT crew is complicit. Stop cheering on this non-competition.

The last time the #NBAAllStar Game was in Utah, the three-time defending 3-point shootout champion was nearly left out of the competition. He eventually competed despite not being on a roster.

This is the story of how in 1993, Craig Hodges became a man without a team.

A thread.
The NBA began its All-Star three-point contest (the “Long Distance Shootout”) in 1986. And six of the first seven contests split between two three-peat winners: Larry Bird and Craig Hodges.
Coming into the 1993 contest, Hodges had won the past three shootouts, including finals knockouts of Reggie Miller in 1990 and Terry Porter in 1991. His ‘91 performance is perhaps the greatest in the contest’s history, setting records that stand today: 21 shots made, 19 in a row.

Last night's @MLB #AllStarGame featured enough new wrinkles and fresh personalities to help keep the format vibrant for years to come.

Mookie Betts wanted to deliver a message before Tuesday’s #AllStarGame, quietly but with a purpose. It was written in blue airbrush on the black T-shirt he wore during batting practice.

“We need more Black people at the stadium,” the shirt read. latimes.com/sports/dodgers… Image
A few hours later, Betts took the microphone, with the NL and AL All-Stars gathered on the Dodger Stadium field, to orchestrate a happy birthday greeting for Rachel Robinson, the widow of Jackie Robinson, who turned 100 on Tuesday. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…

Betts admitted to shying away from the burden of serving as a Black ambassador for his sport in the past.

But now, as an established veteran, “I've grown and matured and am in a different stage, and I think I can take on that responsibility.” latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
