The NBA just can't settle on an All-Star format. The Elam Ending came and went. The East vs. West format has been axed twice now with a player draft held in between those two runs. This season, the NBA tried something new.

Star Game featured a new format yet drew the same criticism and fan apathy as previous editions. Meanwhile, the NHL created buzz and earned huge ratings with its 4 Nations games. So it should come as no surprise that NBA commissioner Adam Silver told reporters Thursday the league is considering adopting a national team ASG format.
