The NBA All-Star game was given a face lift for this year’s celebration of the most talented players.

As Team LeBron took on Team Giannis, the NBA took on efforts to also pay tribute to the game’s most awarded All-Stars, Kobe Bryant in the immediate wake of his untimely demise in January.

Cube later added,

“The forward thinking of? The Big 3 is taking our credit for helping the NBA make the 4thQ of yesterday’s ASG one to remember. Many will try to pull the Elam Rule out their asses, but we proved in 2017 that no game clock is the future”

The format for their All-Star Game highlights it’s first quarter of play into a mini-game for charity. The final quarter was un-timed with a target score that decided which team wins. The scores were reset to zero at the start of the second and third quarters, then reinstated at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The team that won the All-Star Game was the team that reaches a target score, which consisted of their combined score during the first three quarters, plus 24 points, as a tribute for Bryant.

Cube’s Big3 plays all of matches without a timer. Whoever reaches 50 points first, wins. In light of this, Cube took to Twitter explaining why he believes The Big3 should be credited for the success of the all-star game.

According to reports, the NBA’s commissioner Adam Silver has been trying to figure out ways to bring the eyeballs back to the networks carrying the game. He says that the event needed a change to continue to keep it’s young fan interested:

Cube ended by saying he would have appreciated mention of his league for using the no game clock.
