The NBA All-Star Game has become a stale product in recent years and basketball fans, including NBA commissioner Adam Silver, believes they have the fix.
However, Fox Sports analyst Nick Wright has proposed a wild idea to get the NBA’s premiere All-Star event back to its original glory.

During his visit with Simmons, Wright pitched a new NBA All-Star Game format that would pit “white guys” against “black guys.”

“It’s fixable in four years if your guy Kon Knueppel continues on this trajectory,” Wright joked with Simmons. “You know what? PC headlines be d***ed. White guys versus black guys.”
This concept certainly raised a lot of wild comments on social media, especially given the fact that the NBA has a predominantly African American player pool.

Wright was quick to bring up that young Caucasian stars like Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel and Luka Doncic would certainly be a massive draw. Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and others would be worthy opposition.
