Who's the NBA's All-Star Game GOAT?
As we celebrate the league's 75th anniversary season during All-Star Weekend in Cleveland -- albeit just the 71st All-Star Game, because it wasn't inaugurated until 1951 or played after the lockout in 1998-99 -- this feels like an appropriate time to look back on All-Star history, too.
Although there's certainly overlap between the NBA's greatest players and the top All-Star performers, some players have tended to take the All-Star Game more seriously than others. Or perhaps in the modern era they're just better at conserving energy through the parties and media obligations that come with a modern All-Star Weekend.
