SAN FRANCISCO — The first test run of the new, truncated All-Star weekend format produced mixed results. One of the three Rising Stars games, each played to a target score, was competitive. Intensity was scarce and hundreds of Chase Center seats were empty, but there were still some memorable moments.

NBA All-Star game is in the books with Shaq's OGs knocking off Team Chuck in the championship round out in San Francisco. It was the debut of a new format with the stars being divided into three teams--the fourth team was the Rising Stars Challenge winner--and they played a tournament style of play to determine a winner.

Honorary coaches Tim Hardaway Sr., Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin drafted their respective teams on Feb. 4, each selecting seven players to build their squad. Jeremy Lin will coach the G-League team that will play in the event. Richmond had the first pick where he chose Houston Rockets second-year guard Amen Thompson.

Draymond Green’s criticism of this year’s NBA All-Star Game had fans reminiscing about the classic East-West battles of the past or brainstorming ways to revive the competition. Some even proposed a bold USA-versus-the-World format to reflect the league’s global talent.
