HOUSTON — Count Warriors point guard Stephen Curry among those who support the NBA’s decision not to televise the All-Star Game draft this week.
“I’ve always been a proponent of protecting the players,” Curry said. “I know that’s the unpopular position in this day and age. We’re all grown men, and we can handle it. We’re All-Stars and what not. But we want to see how the whole format goes the first time, so it’s presented in the right light.”
Per the league’s new All-Star Game format, Curry and LeBron James — the players from each conference who received the most fan votes — will choose rosters from a pool of players voted as starters and reserves.
