Although it was initially thought that the All-Star game would not take place, this week it was announced that league leaders and the NBA Players Association had agreed on a star weekend in Atlanta from March 6-7.
The Los Angeles Lakers leader was not very impressed.
“I don’t understand why they are hosting the All-Star game. I’m not happy with that,” LeBron said. – If you choose me, my body will be there, but not the thoughts. We only had a 71-day offseason, and at the beginning of the season we were assured that there would be no All-Star Game, so we would have a short break at that point. And now they are throwing a stellar match for us. “
At the beginning of the season, we were assured that there would be no All-Star game.
The four-time NBA champion stressed that organizing an All-Star weekend is reckless not only because of the fatigue of the players, but also because of the pandemic.
“It just came to our notice then. We continue to fight the pandemic, but we are going to call the entire league to a city that is not closed,” said the Lakers wizard.
Sacramento Kings leader De’Aaron Fox previously spoke on the subject. The defender called the decision to host an NBA celebration “stupid.”
“If we have to wear a mask during the game, what is the purpose of the All Stars game? Of course, money is the reason the world turns, so it is made by them,” said the young defender.

It is true that he, like L. James, emphasized that if elected, he would play in the game.
“If I didn’t play, they would punish me. If he is not injured and does not play, he will receive a huge fine. I would play then, ”said the Kings basketball player.
It is very real that Lithuanian Domantas Sabonis will play in the All Stars match for the second year in a row. With the announcement of the first voting results, he ranks seventh among strikers in the Eastern Conference.
