Although the NBA tried to entice viewers and players with what they thought were fun new edits and format changes, the 2024 All-Star Game and related All-Star weekend were decidedly not a hit with anyone, especially when juxtaposed against the ratings juggernaut that was the 4 Nations Face Off.
The league has since admitted that the updates were a "miss" and has said it is exploring a new international format similar to the NHL's All-Star replacement for next year's event. But as they work to bring that vision to fruition, they should know they have at least one endorsement from one of the league's biggest stars: none other than Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.
