I can and will give you the names. It is time for the NBA to double the number of players that make the annual All-Star Game. With 30 teams in the league, unlike back in the day when the Association had nine, to dismiss the great players that are snubbed the label of “all-star” is a crime. Play two shorten All-star games if needed, but the disrespect needs to end. And with that, make the game competitive. Give each player on the winning teams a million dollars and the losers nothing. And with the MVP of the games, an additional million. The teams could afford it if the NBA itself does not want to fund the payouts. Cost per team: $500k….chump change.
The names: Victor Wembanyama, Derrick White, Trae Young, Kristaps Porzingis, Domantis Sobonis, James Harden, Scottie Barnes, Rudy Gobert, De’Aaron Fox, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgrem, Jamal Murray, Alperen Şengün………
