Last year, fans and NBA officials were disappointed that the All-Star Game wasn’t very competitive. And so, the NBA is rumored to be changing the format once again, in hopes of having a competitive game. Spoiler: It’s not going to work any better than their other changes.
How the four-team tournament-style 2025 NBA All-Star Game is expected to work, sources tell ESPN:
- Two semifinal games up to 40 points, winners advance
- Finals game up to 25 points
Quick-burst competition, pickup ball-esque. https://t.co/VOyPvioj78— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) November 21, 2024The new idea is a copy of how the Rising Stars Challenge worked the last few seasons.
