Chandler Parsons: 'There is more competitive basketball at Rico Hines' summer pickup games at UCLA than at All-Star Weekend'

Chandler Parsons: I like the concept, and again, I respect the effort here, but this just isn’t the solution. I don’t think the format is going to stick. There’s zero intensity. There is zero defense. There is more competitive basketball at Rico Hines' summer pickup games at UCLA than at All-Star Weekend—and it’s not even close. By the way, dudes will go at it in the summer. They’re trying to get in shape. There’s a motive. There’s something they’re actually playing for.
