NBA President of Operations Byron Spruell The NBA is not locked in to a USA vs World all-star game format for next season but they hope that the ASG will have an international theme to it The NBA will work closely with the Players' Association to get the input of players

LeBron James on the All-Star Game format I like East and west format They're trying something we'll see what happens but Its US vs World The world is gigantic of US so im trying to figure out how that makes sense

Adam Silver on new ASG format The players have embraced it I think the guys get it It's helpful just to mix things up once in a while I do get a kick that some of the players that haven't taken it as seriously in the past are saying I really love the east vs west format I was like alright
