  • Great topic choice and very timely. I do think you missed out on all the hate the All Star game has been getting in recent years. The bigger issue is that you didn't reply to any student comments which is worth 30 points. Be sure to list your sources as well.

  • I think they should play for money that will be donated to a charity of the winner's choice and how they get that money is by using the money gained from the game to support the donation. I think it could interest people who are not into basketball because the viewers could help donate to the overall donation. 

  • I don't watch the NBA too much but when I have watched the All-Star contest I don't really feel like the players try that hard. I think a way they could get them to try harder is to add in money bonuses to the All-Star game. I think this would make it way more exciting.

  • I have never watched the NBA just because I have no interest watching it. I think maybe it could get people into watching it if there is like stuff about the all star game but I don't know how it would get people to watch it if they usually don't.

  • I have never watched the NBA so i have no idea what could be added to it. I feel like people just need to watch I know I never had watch basketball but now I find it kinda intresting. I have never watched the NBA All-star contest.

  • I don't watch the NBA enough to think of things that could be added to the NBA All-Star. I could see if you added something that is pretty popular at the moment to catch peoples attention and get them interested in watching. I have heard of it, but I've never watched it.

  • I would add people that would actully try and enjoy basketball and not just be a bum and run around and act like you like basketball. I have never played basketball but the way they are playing is not right at all and just running around and not even making buckets.

  • I don't watch a lot of the NBA but I do think that the NBA All-Star Week is a cool idea. For people not interested in basketball it might just be cool to see lots of good players playing against each other. I have not ever watched the NBA All-Star contest.

  • I don't noramlly watch the NBA but I do every once in a while. I watched the all star game last year and it was fun to watch just because all the best players are playing together. I think they could add one on ones and have like a tournement until one player wins.

  • I do not really watch the NBA very often so I do not know what should be added to the NBA all-star week. I am not sure what to add that would interest people into it because I have never really paid attention to it. I think I have watched a contest I think.
