All star game in the NBA.....

I've been thinking about this.

In MLB, NHL and NFL the players have an excuse not to play hard out. Mainly because of the high injury risk. Sure a lessor extent in the MLB and that currently is the best IMO and most serious of all the All star games.

In hoops however the injury risk really is not that significantly different from how it is now, to if they were to take it seriously.

I just want you to think about this.....imagine how great it would be if you had that awesome group of players we saw yesterday and they were all 100% giving their all (or close to it). Not like the current game. Sport to me is all about intensity, generally the greater the intensity the greater the viewing.

Needless to say what I'm voting for is this poll. I suspect I know what I'll see in this poll, but still interested to see how one sided it is.
