1: Milestones +3

2. Do you like the new format? Why or why not?
I somewhat like the new format. I think it makes sense to do split teams like this, I am just not sure how this is going to workout in the grand scheme of things yet. I am happy to try it out for a few seasons and see what it looks like. The pros are more All Stars in general, which is a good thing, with teams being represented more. I am all for players getting their time in the spotlight. One of the cons is not really getting to see who the best of the best are. While I understand that these are the best players in the league currently, adding more players to that list dilutes the final product a bit in my eyes. I guess another thing to discuss is the use of legacy players. I like the idea of legacy players getting some love from the All Star games, but I feel like adding them to the teams is kind of a slap in the face to the current players. I can see one legacy player “coaching” a team from their division and getting honored in that way. Realistically wouldn’t these players be too old to be meaningful in these games? I understand this is just for fun, but it takes away from the actual All Stars.  [221, +4]

3. What would you do to spice up the new All-star format even further?
After ranting a bit in the prompt above, I think we can expand more into the legacy players being involved with the All Star games. Why not have alumni games where those old All Stars can play each other? Wouldn’t that make more sense and let users of those old players get to relive them once again? Like a legacy player “coach” one All Star team and add an All Star Alumni game by conference as another event. I understand the amount of work this may take, but if they are already adding legacy users to the current All Stars, they could probably do a few more for an extra game.  [111, +2]
