On February 18, Beijing time, Durant, who had just played a full All-Star Game, updated social media and suggested canceling the All-Star Weekend. NBA officials are already discussing three major changes to next season's All-Star Weekend, including an earlier start time, a heads-up game, and the introduction of stars in the slam dunk contest.

Durant's O'Neal team won the All-Star Game, but Durant suggested that the league simply cancel All-Star Weekend. He wrote on social media: "I think it's more fun to complain about the NBA than to actually watch a game. Crazy, cancel the All-Star Weekend, let's give everyone a break, because we're in too much pain during this time......" is the so-called "difficult to reconcile", Durant's point is that since fans don't buy any kind of format, then simply cancel the All-Star Weekend and let everyone have a good rest.

He also said on social media that there is more attention in the championship, trade and free agent markets, and who cares about the All-Star.

However, from the NBA's official point of view, it is naturally impossible for them to cancel the All-Star Weekend, so they can only continue to make adjustments. According to American media Front Office Sports, as early as before the start of this year's All-Star Game, the league was already discussing three possible changes in the next All-Star Game.

First, start early. NBC, which received the rights to broadcast the All-Star Weekend next season, has been in talks with the NBA to bring the All-Star start to 5 p.m. local time (6 a.m. Beijing time the next day). At the same time, as the broadcaster of the Milan Winter Olympics, even if next season's NBA All-Star Weekend will be held during the Milan Winter Olympics, due to the six-hour difference between Milan time and Eastern Time, even if the All-Star kick-off time is advanced, it will not affect the broadcast of the Milan Winter Olympics on NBC TV.

Second, a heads-up tournament will be added. According to a source, the league is already in talks about hosting a heads-up game at NBA All-Star Weekend with a prize fund of $1 million.

In the pre-game media interview, a reporter asked if he was interested in participating in the heads-up match, and mentioned that Irving and Harden had expressed their willingness to participate. "Of course I would," said the brother, "and if I had the chance to play heads-up against anyone, I would love it." Anything that makes this weekend more exciting and fun for the spectators, fans and players, I'm willing to be a part of it. ”

Third, the slam dunk game introduces stars. For years, everyone involved in the NBA has been trying to figure out how to get the league's stars to want to participate in the slam dunk contest. McClung has been really intriguing over the past few years, but it's important to admit that the event used to be a showcase for superstars. Both Jordan and Kobe Bryant were former champions of the slam dunk contest.

Whatever the reason, James has never wanted to participate in the slam dunk contest, which has led to the other stars mostly shying away from the game. However, things may change next season, with Morant tweeting that McClung is performing so that he may decide to participate in the slam dunk contest. LaVine also wants to return to the event, and although he jokes that he claims that the social media he participated in is hacked, he is really interested in participating in the event.

Do you think All-Star Weekend is still necessary? What adjustments do I need to make to continue with the event? Feel free to leave a message to express your opinions.
