The NBA League and the Players Union have officially reached an agreement to host the 2021 All-Star Game in Atlanta, which is scheduled for March 7th, local time. The league’s holding of an All-Star in the new crown epidemic has also been opposed by many superstars, including the Lakers star James. Later, the Blazers player Melo Melo also responded positively to Muss’ statement.
“I think this is wrong (the league holds an All-Star game during the epidemic). We don’t need an All-Star game,” Melo said.
Melo’s comments were made less than 24 hours after Muss rejected the All-Star Game. James said that the NBA had backtracked to host the All-Star Game and that this decision gave the players a “slap in the face.” More and more players are now opposed to hosting the All-Star Game. Before Muss spoke up, Sacramento Kings guard Fox had questioned the league’s motivation for hosting the All-Star Game. He believed that everything was because of money. Boston Celtics guard Walker also responded to Muss’ statement today.
