Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown has criticised the NBA All-Star Game, saying that the game was not basketball.
The NBA All-Star weekend remains one of the most watched sporting events in the country. It took place on February 17th and 18th in Utah.
Brown, who was a part of the NBA All Stars East side was quoted after the match where he was critical of the overall product and believed that it was anything but basketball.
“We were attempting to put a little more effort into it, but I'm not sure how successful that was,” he said. “But hopefully, as the years go on, it gets back to being what the fans want to see. There were some discussions. Definitely some.
“I'm not sure how successful that was. There were definitely some discussions. I guess guys are trying to figure out how to do that at the same time as having fun, being safe, being injury-free. More solutions need to be had to figure that out.”
East went on to win the match against the West side with a score of 211 to 186. For the winning side, Damian Lillard was the star performer as he registered 39 points to go with three rebounds and six assists.
On the other hand, for the West, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the star performer as he ended up registering 31 points to go with four rebounds and six assists.
