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.
