  • The NBA All-Star Game was heavily criticized for the new format and featuring comedian Kevin Hart far more than necessary.

The NBA has announced a new format for the 2025 All-Star Game, set to take place in San Francisco, aiming to blend tradition with innovation. This year's game will revert to the classic East vs. West matchup, moving away from the previous captain-draft format. The game will also feature a return to the traditional scoring system, with each quarter's score contributing to the final tally, and the fourth quarter will not have a target score.

This format change seeks to honor the game's history while enhancing viewer engagement and competitive spirit.
