Why is the NBA All-Star draft private? - the game needs intrigue

Let's face it. The NBA All-star game has become boring. Showboating is rampant, and defense is virtually non-existent. Actually winning the game is far down the list of priorities, but winning the All-Star MVP trophy is high on the list.

Is everything about the game negative. No. Integrating the East and West teams is a great idea. No longer is it the Eastern Conference against the Western Conference. Great idea. I like the idea of the two top vote-getters being captains and drafting their own teams. The drama and intrigue would be a shot in the arm for the game, if fans ever got to know about it.
