All Star Weekend Recap: Is All Star Weekend Dying? / March 4, 2025 by Queens Sports Analytics Organization

With declining interest and effort by both players and viewers, the NBA changed the format this year, hoping to find an answer to this issue.

Below I give a brief recap and analysis of how the weekend went and give my thoughts on the overall format as well as future changes that should be made in order to increase overall competitiveness, engagement, and most importantly, entertainment for the viewers.

There is just your driving distance, fairways hit, Greens in regulation and total putts. However, as time went on, it was clear that these stats lacked a ton of nuance.
