Agreed, plus Shaq 'doing his court stuff' is being done annually and it's getting repetitive.

Beyond that, he's not exactly having an All-Star season.

That wouldn't have mattered if he was still putting up All-Star numbers though.

Yeah, if Sam Cassell had a career year at age 34.

Shaq doesn't have the same kind of skills to fall back on now that his athleticism is declining. If he had a better shooting touch and could knock down around 65% of his free throws, he'd probably still be putting up All-Star worthy numbers. As it stands he can't be ignored out on the court but given he's not as agile as he once was he can't utilise his bulk as effectively as he did in his prime. We've probably seen his last All-Star appearance, unless he's a sentimental selection as part of a "farewell tour" in his final season.

I immediately thought it was a problem because it'll be obviously confusing, but I find that the idea has potential. Instead of both teams having white on one side, one could have black. There, problem solved. Gold and white vs. blue and black.

I think the NBA did it just to say that you can cheer on any team you want, and there's no "away" team.

That'd be an improvement, but I'd still prefer a more traditional uniform.

Agreed, like red vs. blue back then, but I think that was a problem for colorblind people. Yellow vs white might work better.

I was thinking either red vs white or blue vs white as in the 80s/early 90s.
