Ah, JJ. Never change.
Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick is not a fan of the NBA All-Star Weekend and could not be dull about it.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Reddick was asked about his thoughts on the 2025 All-Star Game. (Related: The NBA All-Star Game rating is so bad that it broke the worst record of history)
According to Lakers Nation, “I didn’t see any of those sh*ts,” Redick replied.
Ready to change the format, NBA?

“I wasn’t watching that shit.”

Although some stories about the NHL All-Star Weekend have been negative, I have blogged so many times about the showdown of the NHL four countries from so many angles.
In this case, international tournaments in the NHL are so successful that if you were in the NBA, wouldn’t you want to replicate that success?
Anyone who cares about the accusation of “imitation” is a copy of this inventive world. I want an international tournament! Imagine the NBA All-Star era we went to it for something that was actually worth it. You’ll easily see the same hype that the four nations face off.
You don’t want this kind of glory, NBA?
The four-country showdown between Canada vs. the United States averaged 101,000 viewers across North America.
