I used to care about the NBA All Star game some twenty years ago. I still kind of do but last time I saw it it was not a game at all. No effort into it, no competition, just a free pass to anybody to go at the ring and abuse it in whatever way they would think of.
It wasn't like that in MJ and Kobe times and before that. There was less foul play but still there was also this thing called defense.
I guess the super bowl is at least as competitive as it can be.
