NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has repeatedly sought a more competitive All-Star event, aiming to change the tournament format to drive engagement and excitement among players and fans alike.
This season's All-Star Game will feature a four-team, three-game, one-night tournament where each game is won by the first team to score 40 points, ensuring a more intense competitive environment.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander expressed enthusiasm for the new format, emphasizing that real competition hinges on the players’ desire to engage and perform at a high level.
Historically, the All-Star format followed a traditional Eastern vs. Western Conference format, but recent changes introduced team drafting, reflecting the league's ongoing efforts to innovate and enhance the event.
