It is revealed that the United States team vs world team is expected to be realized in the future! The vice president personally admitted that it is very likely that the All-Star format will be changed again
On October 31, Beijing time, according to Marc Stein of the Athletic, NBA fans are expected to see the game mode of Team USA vs World at the All-Star Game in the future, and the All-Star in the 2023-24 season has been determined to resume the East vs West model.
In an interview with Stein, NBA Vice President Mark Tatum revealed that the Team USA vs World team format is "very, very likely" to come through. However, the league has not given a timeline for when it will try to use this format in the All-Star Game.
"It's a concept we've discussed," Mark Tatum revealed.
For years, the All-Star format of Team USA vs. Team World has been widely proposed by fans. However, it hasn't received much official attention, and the NBA has used the captain's draft model in recent years, moving away from the old East-West format.
With the traditional format returning, though, it wouldn't be surprising if the NBA introduces a new All-Star format gimmick in the near future. After all, Shaw and his colleagues are always looking for new ways to keep interest in the league alive.
The All-Star Game against Team USA against Team World is also a good idea, especially since the NBA has become a global brand. Not to mention that most of the league's top players, such as Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, and Luka Doncic — are from countries other than the United States, and it seems perfect to adopt this format that pits Americans against players from other countries.
Of course, this could raise some questions, including how the rosters for Team USA and Team World came to be. After all, fans don't want to see a person who doesn't deserve to be an All-Star enter the game because there aren't many options. It will be up to the NBA to find a solution.
Now, fans just have to be patient and see what the league will do at the All-Star Game.
