Team LeBron Coach Michael Malone Calls 2023 NBA All-Star Game the ‘Worst Basketball Game Ever Played

After the show ended without a winner, Malone said she didn’t know how to fix it. It’s possible that NBA All-Star Mack McClung’s G League call up saved an unnecessary rival on Saturday night. However, it now seems that the NBA All-Star Game needs saving. On Sunday, Giannis’ team defeated LeBron’s team by a score of 184 to 175. This non-competitive basketball match between the best athletes in the world was more like a layup or shooting practice than a real basketball game.

In the fourth quarter, LeBron’s team needed to close out a 19-point deficit. However, there was no competition at defense for the rest of the game. Jayson Tatum received the MVP award when he scored 55 points— mostly unopposed— setting an All-Star Game record. The Elam Ending provided some drama thanks to the drama of LeBron’s team trying to overcome a deficit.

After LeBron’s team lost Sunday night, their coach Michael Malone blamed both teams for lacking effort.

Greg Malone stated that he felt honored to be part of the All-Star game, as well as a great weekend in general. However, he considered the All-Star game he played to be the worst basketball game he ever played. Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving and other players ask for help. They feel like the broken ball can’t be fixed. Joel asks some people to play defense and to play harder. People can’t sit out the game. They watch it for the fans, but no one gets in because it’s a tough game. I’m not lying when I say this.

According to other commentaries, the media and fans were subpar during the 2023 game.
