Kevin Durant wants to kill NBA All-Star weekend
NY Post
If you can’t fix it, kill it, says Kevin Durant.
After a disastrous NBA All-Star weekend that fans, players and pundits seemingly universally despised, Durant is prepared to give the weekend’s events the death penalty even after debuting a new format.
“I think it’s more fun to complain about the NBA than to actually watch it,” Durant said on X. “Crazy, cancel all-star weekend, and let’s just give everybody a break since we’re so miserable around this time…”
The NBA All-Star weekend has come under fire in recent years and it does not appear the criticism will be letting up anytime soon.
Fans –– and Warriors star Draymond Green –– have criticized the players’ lack of urgency during the game, the new format featuring a mini-tournament, as well as Kevin Hart acting as the MC for the game.
Green, in particular, rated the game a zero out of 10 and said it was “not basketball” when discussing the five-on-five tournament with games being played to 40 instead of a traditional East vs. West game.
The Knicks had their entire roster fully participating in practice Wednesday for the first time this season, as Mitchell Robinson moved ever closer to making his season debut soon after the All-Star break.
Alex Bregman isn’t looking to steal Rafael Devers’ position.
Nets wing Bojan Bogdanovic will have foot surgery and miss the rest of the season.

Wednesday will mark 140 days since the Knicks shook up their fan base and sent a lightning bolt through the league on the eve of training camp. All of that feels rather cute given the way the Luka Doncic-Anthony Davis swap electrified the basketball world two weeks ago, and the continuing aftershocks still reverberating in Dallas, in L.A., and everywhere else in the NBA.
If finding a franchise quarterback is the Giants’ No. 1 offseason priority, upgrading at cornerback should be considered No. 1A.
BOSTON — Chris Kreider has never been one to think or talk in hypotheticals.
TAMPA — DJ LeMahieu went two months without swinging a bat this offseason, which for the veteran baseball junkie, was essentially a shock to the system.
The Giants are in the market for a fifth running back coach in five years.
If you can’t fix it, kill it, says Kevin Durant.
Yes, there are red flags to be wary of. Yes, there should be skepticism if a good team is willingly getting rid of a player.
Adam Silver has come into people’s crosshairs after another lackluster NBA All-Star Weekend.
