Kevin Durant is woefully unimpressed by the NBA’s latest attempt to make the annual All-Star Game more exciting.
The league announced on Tuesday that they are officially implementing an intricate new format for the 2025 All-Star Game in San Francisco. Instead of the traditional Eastern Conference-Western Conference full-game format, this year’s event will be a mini-tournament featuring four teams of eight players each competing in a bracket. The 24 NBA All-Stars will be divided into three teams, and the winner of the Rising Stars Challenge will comprise the fourth team. Meanwhile, each mini-tournament game will be untimed with the winner being determined by the first team to hit 40 points or more.
