US EditionFS1's Nick Wright Says NBA Can Fix The All-Star Game By Making Racially-Segregated Teams: 'That'd [Finally] Be A Good Game!'
Nick Wright suggested racially organized teams, including Eastern Europeans on a white team, to boost competition and restore excitement to the NBA All-Star Game.
- On a widely followed sports podcast, Nick Wright, First Things First host, proposed splitting NBA All-Star rosters by race, drawing attention.
- Commissioner Adam Silver has overseen repeated format changes as the NBA has experimented with different All-Star formats to maintain fan interest; this year uses a three-team round-robin format with the top two advancing to a final.
- Wright proposed that a white squad would explicitly include Eastern Europeans like Nikola Jokić and Luka Dončić, citing Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel, and argued the split would create a real edge to the game.
- Many listeners were surprised, while critics warned the proposal would emphasize racial divisions rather than athletic competition, and supporters argued the focus should remain on teamwork and skills.
- Viewer data show that tune-in was under 5 million on Turner networks, while Front Row Sports noted a Team USA vs Canada broadcast averaged 4.4 million on ABC, and some commentators warned the NBA brand could face serious damage.
