Sport to me is all about giving your all and intensity, thats why I don't like em much.

For me the MLB has the best, at least the players are more serious about it than the others and it has a meaning to them with the playoff Implication (even though I don't agree with this). The NBA and NHL one's also can be entertaining.

Worst : the NFL pro bowl for the reason mentioned in my first sentence!

NBA is the best, they showcase their skills for 3 quarters, then play serious in the 4th. Been some close games in recent years.

Yeah the whole package is entertaining : Dunk contest, skills challenge and the game itself.

Basketball is a game that inherently allows you to showcase stars more. NBA all-star weekend can't be topped, though baseball's is also enjoyable.

I never watch the Pro Bowl. The NFL has adopted the YMCA mentality when it comes to this game. Instead of the few players originally elected to the game getting the acknowledgment, it seems at least 50% of the league gets called an All Pro because of all the replacement players.

I haven't watched an entire Pro Bowl ever, and can't say I've watched even a minute of it in 3 years now.
