Former US President Barack Obama has ended up heavily criticizing the All Star Game of NBA while addressing that he will not be watching the event anymore as it hugely lacks competitiveness. According to Vibe, while speaking on the podcast named ‘Young Man and the Three’ alongside Indiana Pacers Star Tyrese Haliburton, Barack Obama expressed his frustration over the player’s reluctance to exert themselves during the game.
Vibe reported that according to Barack Obama, NBA’s All Star game lacks the competitive spirit which is hugely contrasting to the spirit exhibited by legends like Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan. Barack Obama also made arguments that the concerns about player’s injuries are extremely exaggerated while he also claimed that players engage on a regular basis during intense summer leagues without having any kind of serious incidents.

Barack Obama emphasized on the factor that the NBA All Star Game should always reflect pride in the game of Basketball and should not certainly appear as if the players are halfhearted, noted Vibe.
Vibe asserted that Barack Obama believes that the current format ends up insulting both the game and its fans while it potentially deters casual viewers. Comments from Barack Obama comes amidst growing criticism of the NBA All Star Game’s execution and format while many others also feel that the game has diminished its appeal over the years.
