NBL All Star Game

Voting is open on the NBL website. I think North vs South would be best.

The main reason (perhaps the only one) people will want to go and see a game like this is for the show!

Just like the All Star game they hold in the USA, we need to put on a shw, that means less emphasis on defense and more about the big dunks and athleticism.

Let's face it, if we go down this track we need to forget N v S, E v W etc...

It must be eye catching and exciting, so it must include imports and the very best in this country, whether it is directly them against us or two captains picking team is not the issue, the issue is how do we put on the best SHOW!

^ I like that idea.

Maybe get two captains, and they get to chose who they want to play in their team

And go at it

TBH, North v South sounds stupid.

6 teams are on similar latitudes, and 3 are north of this.

Aust vs Internationals is not as ambiguous, and easily defined.
The only problem with this is that they're may not be enough Boomers talent to form a really good Aust side as really good players are in Europe.

East v Work, won't work. Will be it Perth vs Rest??

I reckon maybe an NBL all-star team vs an asian league all star team.

Could go one year over in Asia, one year here etc. Good revenue maybe

Anon - Pretty sure they aren't a capital city of Australia playing in the 'ANBL', so they can deal with it!

I still think it should be interactive and have fans vote for captains, then basically do a schoolyard pick.

Add some restrictions (1 player from each team, max number of imports per team, etc), this way it makes it a bit more competitive with players feeling like they may have been snubbed, slipped to low or matching up against teammates etc.

City Vs Country?

Other option could be..

Capital cities vs Regional cities.

Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth v Cairns, Townsville, Woolongong, Gold Coast and NZ.

I too think North v South.

Although Perth is further north than Sydney, I would still put Sydney & the Gong on the North team.

Otherwise, if a 2nd Melbourne team comes in next year as expected, it would be 6 teams onto 4.
