The NBA's newest All-Star Game format, which is just the latest in an endless effort to revitalize the event, is something Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball would thrive under. The current two-team head-to-head style of play isn't something Melo struggles with. It's just the same as when his Hornets play any other NBA team, just with fewer elite players.
With that said Ball's play style would fit even better in the new format. The NBA has announced that the 2025 All-Star Game will feature a four-team tournament. Instead of one long game between two teams, they will be split even further and take each other on until one winner is left standing.
