"Holy Hell" was exclaimed in reaction to this:
I'm not going to get into whether the All-Star Game is "bad" or not. I don't think it's bad, but I also never think it's bad. I enjoy the All-Star Game every single year: I feel like, if you don't like it, you may be watching the NBA to get something entirely different out of it than what I'm watching it for... so, I'm afraid that I can't answer that question for you.

I found the first half fun to watch regardless of the lack of d. Second half was an abomination with 3’s jacked every trip down for much of the game. It is what it is. Players have fun I guess and you get some amazing dunks every so often, but they aren’t as impressive as real in game dunks with some passion along with it. I’m not going to sit here and be an old man with the get off my lawn bit reminiscing about all star games of my youth, but it doesn’t really do anything for me. All star Saturday night is always much more fun than the actual game to me. All in all, the all star break is the lame week when we don’t have any real games to watch. Bring on Thursday in Oakland!
So, I wonder what the Venn diagram looks like for folks who watch pro wrestling and those who enjoy the All-Star game. Seriously, not throwing shade. Your comment about "getting something different out of it" made me wonder about different individuals and their expectations and enjoyment of this particular NBA weekend, and how that might relate to other forms of entertainment that may have different expectations as the reason for their popularity.
