NBA confirms that the All-Star Game will feature US vs. World format this season
Tim Reynolds, AP
BI Note: So the NBA finally comes around to a format somewhat related to the obvious one it was handed on a silver platter 5 years ago: U.S. vs World. But instead of making it a realistic facsimile of a real game, the Assn. persists in mucking it up with gimmicks. Even with that silliness, it should still be worlds (pun intended) better than the unadulterated gimmickry of recent years.
