Analytics have effectively killed the Three Point Shootout by turning every game into this only way worse and way sloppier. The Dunk Contest has been done for a while now and this doesn't fall on LBJ as much as most want to lay it at his feet. (For me, Gordon getting jobbed against Lavine did it.)

End the All Star Game.
Friday night is your Celeb Game and Rising Stars deal cause those youngsters deserve their time to shine.
I guess you can keep the Saturday Night thing going. I can't even begin to suggest how to turn this around. ASG is terminal for real.
Steph Curry still scares the shit out of me in a playoff series. I don't care. I think Jimmy's gonna help them if they can get in. They're gonna terrify someone.
The Lakers getting Luka will not matter NOW no matter their seed. They're brutal.
As for the field at large...
Boston, Cleveland, OKC & Houston.
I see some under the radar types who probably need a few things to break right but IF THEY DO...YIKES in GS, DAL (Nico needs a nuclear AD to bail him out on this and it's not too far fetched it happens alongside Kyrie), IND and ORL.
SIGH. I am anti tanking. Tanking does not work, especially in the NBA. Don't believe me? Ask Philly about The Process in its totality. People have made tanking into some glorified fix it when in reality, it's far from that.
