LeBron James has been very critical of the possibility that this year the All-Star. The NBA and the NBPA, The players’ union have reached an agreement to host a one-day All-Star at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on March 7, although details are yet to be finalized. The Lakers star has been quite blunt: “I have zero energy and zero interest.” He is not the only one who has been against the celebration of the All-Star.
“I have zero energy and zero desire for an All-Star this year. My teammates and I have had little rest, 71 days, between season and season, and at the beginning they told us that there would be no All-Star and at least we were going to have a little relaxation, “he said. LeBron James, asked about the possible All-Star celebration on March 7 in Atlanta.
The NBA star does not see the appointment timely after such a difficult year and with persistent difficulties. «For me it was an opportunity to calibrate the second part of the campaign. And now they throw us into an All-Star who breaks all those plans. Well I take it like a slap in the face. We are still dealing with a pandemic. Are we going to bring the entire NBA to a city that is open? Obviously I’m not happy with it. I will go if I am elected, but I will be physically and not mentally, “confessed the Los Lakers player.
LeBron isn’t the only one who has been averse to holding the All-Star Game in Atlanta in the current situation. Share opinion with De’Aaron Fox, base of Kings de Sacramento, who considers it “stupid” to celebrate the All-Star. If I’m brutally honest, I think it’s stupid. If we have to wear masks for a regular phase match, what is the point of doing this match? Obviously money is what moves the world and this is what it is. If they vote for me, fine; if not then, too. And I would have to play because you get a fine if you decide not to do it and it is not because you are injured, “said the point guard.
I also questioned his presence Joel Embiid, from Philadelphia. It depends on health. I am not sure that I will go, “he said. For now, the details of what the All-Star celebration will be like are unknown, beyond which it would be held on March 7 in Atlanta.
