    While I generally agree, I think making one all-star team a rising stars team will make things more interesting because I don’t think players voted as all-stars will want to lose to the rising stars team (ego)

      maybe but that will likely only help for one of the games, the other 2 will still probably be snoozefests. Also no one wants to actually watch rising stars in an all star game, they want to see the all stars.

  Remember when Charles Barkley picked Alan Iverson as the 1st pick for his best all-time team? This will not be pretty…

  I always liked the idea of the winning division getting home field advantage in the championship. It would give players a lot more motivation.

    but that would also devalue regular season record even more.

    MLB (baseball) did that until pretty recently!
