NBA All-Star Weekend is upon us, and while we like a lot of the events, we’re also interested in spicing things up. So the four of us embarked on a journey to change some of the All-Star events.

Among the topics discussed:

  • How do we fix the actual game? Add team captains? Make it like Rock ‘N Jock? Turn it into 3-on-3? Make it a regional battle?
  • We disagree vehemently about the old Shooting Stars competition.
  • Can the Dunk Contest get any better? Do we need actual stars in it?
  • Should we bring H.O.R.S.E. back? Could we replace it with something better?

We also each pick one player who’ll break out this weekend.
