NBA commissioner Adam Silver made an honest admission about the league’s latest attempt to reinvent the All-Star Game.
In a press conference Thursday, Silver said he felt the league’s new All-Star format represented some progress, but ultimately viewed the event as a failure. The commissioner suggested further changes would be needed to reinvigorate the event.
“I thought we made almost an immeasurable amount of progress,” Silver said. “Sitting there, I thought this was a little better, but it was a miss. We’re not there in terms of creating an All-Star experience we can be proud of and our players can be proud of.”
