  • I don't watch NBA All-star contests, so I'm not very informed about this topic. I think that I've watched something about this before, but since I'm not informed enough, I wouldn't know how it could interest people.

  • I don't watch basketball so I'm not sure how to answer this. But If I were to add something to the NBA all-star contest, I would put out ads and commercials about it, so it's known to everyone what's going on. they should make shirts and merch to be put out for people to buy, maybe that would get more people to watch it. 

  • I think a 1 on 1 contest would be very interesting to see in NBA All Star weekened. I am not sure how we could get them interested if they are not into the sport. I have watch the game and the contest which can get very interesting.

  • Im not really a big fan of the NBA contest, but I like to play 2k sometimes. I do think that if people make it from the half court at the end buzzer I think that it should be 4 points instead of 3. Im not sure but i think that the thrill of people making a half court can getting the winnings score would be cool.

  • I had not ever watched an NBA All star contest. I had seen a lot of video clips from Steph Cury and Sabrina Lonescu's  three point contest. Im sure that many people were on their seats to see this. I do not watch the NBA at all, I am not a huge basketball fan, so rightfully I do not watch the sport. 

  • I occasionally watch the NBA but this year I did watch the All-Star Games to see Steph Cury vs Sabrina Ionescu 3pt contest. However, the score of the All-Star game was high due to the players not really caring about the event and are more worried about their health and making sure they didn't get injured. 

  • I don't know much about NBA All-star week. I don't think i've ever seen any of these games. I think it would be good to have some type of merch if there isn't one already. I would like to watch one of these someday.

  • I don't know much about NBA All-star week, I don't remember if I've seen any of these games, it sounds interesting, I think it would be good to go on sale as a type of merch if there isn't one.

  • I think it'd be cool if they added cool rewards or commemorative jerseys for the athletes to remember the game by. I think the All-Star game is exciting for non-basketball people to enjoy because it's technically not "real" basketball, its fun and exciting! I've never watched the full All-Star contest but I'd like to someday. 

  • I think the NBA should add an incentive to All-Star week and change some of the challenges, so when a team or person wins a challenge they get the trophies but also receive money or other incentives. I think the celebrity All-Star game does bring in people not interested because they are bringing in celebrities that do other things like singers.
