NBA All-Star Game's long slog and failed attempts to fix it - ESPN

espn.com

Imagine an NBA All-Star Game where one superstar broke another's nose by playing aggressive defense at the rim in the third quarter.

Picture one of the best players in NBA history angrily chiding another all-time great at the final horn because one of them passed up taking the final shot.

These things happened in the same All-Star Game, and not that long ago. In the 2012 game in Orlando, Dwyane Wade fractured Kobe Bryant's nose to prevent a layup with eight minutes left in the third quarter.

That night was more memorable for Bryant barking at LeBron James to «shoot the f---ing ball» when James passed it twice in the final 10 seconds with his team, the East All-Stars, down by two to Bryant's West.
