In basketball, unlike other sports, it is a sport of contact and many strategies both defensive and offensive, and it turns out that you will have that day the best of each position, although that day is not played with that intensity in terms of strategy, because there is nothing at stake, there is the side of the show with the skills of each of the stars present, these being to everyone's liking, because they do them very often and almost always end successfully.
Scoring a lot of points is also an element that is added to not being so intense in terms of defensive strategies, this aspect has been lost over the years, and led to the games are many points, games broken in half, term used to the meetings when there is a give and take by the 2 sets involved in the backboard, And basketball, being a sport where it is played in a not so big rectangle, lends itself in an ideal way, so that this does not look so bad and adapts to the spectacle that even for one night, the fans of this sport want to see, more than 150 points for each team, players with more than 50 points are just some of the things you see in this kind of games.
All of the above, is what everyone wants to see, and what more perfect combination for it, than to place in that game the greatest, statistically of this season, for this edition, has returned the system of: Eastern conference vs Western conference, a system that had been lost for several seasons, being replaced by the famous ''TEAM'' that in particular I did not like very much, because they lost a little the essence of valuing the game of each player in terms of their conference and lost a little balance, since some players were chosen in a personalized way by the heads of each ''TEAM''.
Fans around the world will want to see all that on the court that day, and players like Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, Lebron James, Ja Morant, Stephen Curry and Zion Williamson who are the main representatives of the ''Western'' conference, aided by their numbers and the support of the fans through the votes, being the perfect mix to guarantee the show with the best in each category on the court during these first months of the season.
In the ''East'' the same thing is happening, the best from what is seen so far, will be not only the favorites, but those who currently dominate the main offensive and defensive categories on this side of the league, Donovan Mitchell who for the first time is in this all-star classic representing the ''East'' accompanies Kyrie Irving to pilot the team, Tatum, Durant and Embiid will be in charge of the points, giving them that quick touch of strength and speed to face their opponents from the ''West'' in what promises to be a nice dispute, like in the old days.
EL COMPLEMENTO / THE COMPLEMENT
A classic NBA All-Star Game does not come alone, it is accompanied by three days, which is nicknamed ''All-Star Weekend'' where from Friday to Sunday, the day of the game, is loaded with different activities related to this sport, starting with the celebrity game: ''All-Star Weekend'' where from Friday to Sunday, the day of the game, is loaded with different activities allusive to this sport, starting with the celebrity game, as well as the game between the first year stars and the second year stars, and the traditional competition of skills and shooting from the three-point line to open the prelude to the best of all, the dunk contest, one of the most anticipated by all every year.
La competición desde la línea de los tres puntos es una de mis favoritas, pues prueba el talento de cada jugador desde esa distancia, agregando que tiene que realizar los disparos desde diferentes ángulos del perímetro contra reloj, tratando de hacer el recorrido marcado en 1 minuto, y las volcadas, el espectáculo que muestra las habilidades en los aires, de los jugadores que se comprometen a ese reto, de hacer acrobacias imaginarias, de cómo atacar el aro y lograr concretar la jugada de encestar la pelota de manera violenta, acaparando los aplausos y miradas de los presentes, para complementar todo un largo fin de semana con todo lo que tiene que ver al baloncesto.
The competition from the three-point line is one of my favorites, because it tests the talent of each player from that distance, adding that they have to make shots from different angles of the perimeter against the clock, trying to make the marked route in 1 minute, and the dunks, the spectacle that shows the skills in the air, The players who commit themselves to this challenge, to do unimaginary acrobatics, how to attack the hoop and how to make the play to score the ball in a violent way, capturing the applause and glances of those present to complete a long weekend with everything that has to do with basketball.

Será emocionante ver el regreso de este formato de los mejores de cada Conferencia. Imagínate un Irving vs Curry, un Giannis vs Zion Williamson, debe ser una locura esos duelos mano a mano.
El concurso de Triples también es de mis favoritos. El de volcadas ha perdido el brillo en los últimos años. Creo que desde aquel mítico enfrentamiento entre Aaron Gordon vs Zach Lavine no se ha visto otro concurso que le llegue al nivel de este en cuánto a calidad de volcadas se refiere.
Excelente publicación hermano @epirela22. Saludos!
Si, es mejor este formato al mi parecer, ahora en la tarde ví las planillas y resulta difícil escoger entre grandes nombres que hay para una sola posición.
Gracias por tomarte el tiempo para leer y comentar, agradecido.
