Adam Silver talking with Stephen Curry on All-Star Game tweaks

NBA commissioner Adam Silver has revealed that they contemplating making a few changes to the All-Star Game. Silver said they are consulting Golden State Warriors talisman Steph Curry on how they can make the format more competitive and entertaining.

In the previous season, the Eastern Conference had beaten the Western Conference 211-186 but Silver admitted there was a lot of disappointment after the match.

“We’re looking at other formats,” Silver said Saturday without specifying what may change. “I think there’s no doubt that the players were disappointed as well in last year’s All-Star Game. We all want to do a better job providing competition and entertainment for our fans.”

Any changes will also involve the leadership of the National Basketball Players Association.

“It’s a home game for him,” Silver said of Curry. “I know he’s very prideful and wants to make sure the players put their best foot forward.”

Silver is hopeful of witnessing a more competitive game this season and wants to draw the interest of the players as well as the fans.

“I think everyone was disappointed in what they saw last year,” Silver said. “It wasn’t just the league. It was the players as well, the players association. I think we all did what we thought we could, thinking particularly in Indiana, sort of the heartland of basketball, we would see a more competitive game.”

“We want to do something that will excite the fans and also excite the players, so it’s something they’ll be enthusiastic about playing in,” Silver said.

Meanwhile, last year’s All-Star game went back to the traditional format – four full 12-minute quarters, East vs. West.

Curry, on the other hand, missed the Saturday match against the Houston Rockets due to an ankle injury.
