This game should be back on prime-time television where it belongs. Shouldn't be on cable. All-Star weekend on TNT is fine. Hell, the pre game and post game (Inside the NBA) can be on TNT. But the big game needs to be on ABC.

Hell, they should be able to do a deal like the NCAA has. EJ, Smith and Barkley (and the other NBA TV guys) are all on the other networks during the tournament.

The ESPN guys would work the All-Star game if it was on network TV (ABC), no thanks.

Fk no. ABC is the worst, they should move the Finals back to NBC

All Stars on ABC is like ESPN all over again. lame a$$ commentators

All the major games are on ESPN, or TNT, TBS now(MNF, NBA games, All Star game, MLB Playoffs). Sucks with sports, and the one time cable monopoly.

Just stream it like everyone else does...network or cable doesn't matter anymore.

Who really gives a shit about the game anyway? It's a disaster most years.

Allstar weekend is for the players to rest, the fans to get their up close time, and for the rest of us to bitch about how the dunk contest isn't what is used to be, the terrible music, and whatever embarrassing/stan shit moments happen throughout the weekend.

I actually miss hearing Bill Walton's voice. Wouldn't mind to see him commentate NBA games once in a while.


OT: Why did NBC lose the NBA, btw?
