There are people who see the NBA All-Star game shift out of existence soon. Can you blame them? Just seeing the whole event transpire says how much the people care about it – players and fans combined. So, there’s a new idea for next year, which will hopefully bring Adam Silver some much-needed viewership. But while that idea seems revolutionary in the media, Giannis Antetokounmpo claims that it was his to begin with.
Before we get into Giannis’ comments, what is the new format like? Well, we can just have the NBA Commissioner do the deed for us: “So the game will be on NBC and the very day we’re on, the lead-in will be Winter Olympic events and coming out of the All-Star Game — which is now going to be in the afternoon instead of the evening — there will be more Olympic events. So what better time to feature some form of USA against the world?”
That does sound a lot better than what this year had in store for us. And it might be a breath of fresh air that might be needed in the Association. Turns out that Giannis was the one who proposed this idea in the first place, which just adds a fascinating layer to the mix.
“Man, first of all, you know the NBA stole my idea, right? Let that be on record! But seriously, I loved it, I’m thrilled. It seems like they’re going to adapt this USA vs. World idea, and we (World team) are ready for the competition,” said the Greek to Coast to Coast Brasil.
– “Giannis, a NBA finalmente vai mudar o formato do All Star Game na próxima temporada, o que você achou?”
– “Cara, antes de tudo, você sabe que a NBA roubou a minha ideia, não é? Deixe isso registrado!
Mas falando sério, eu amei, adorei. Parece que eles vão adaptar essa… pic.twitter.com/joiXrksAfs
