2018 NBA All Star Game To Be Held In Los Angeles:

The All Star Game should be in LA every couple of years in my opinion.  They could do it like the SuperBowl, and rotate it every few years between LA-Miami-Orlando-Phoenix.  I would also throw in Atlanta as well.  I heard players HATED playing the game in Toronto this past year, when they had to deal with Temps barely at 0, with wind chills at -10 and below all weekend.  Next year's game is in Charlotte.

Who cares if the players enjoyed Toronto? It's a job. What matters is what the fans thought and how many tuned in to watch it.

 

 

I didn't hear too much feedback on how fans liked the ASG in Toronto, but at least Toronto is a top tier city, so there wasn't a lack of things to do for a weekend there.  If I wanted to go to the ASG and soak in the activities and atmosphere, I'd go to Toronto, New York & Chicago, but skip all other northern cities (Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia, Minneapolis).  I'm not trying to go up north for a good time during the dead of winter.  I think the players feel the same way (which matters to commissioner Silver).

I would expect it to be in Sacramento in a few years with the new arena being built downtown and open next year. But if I was the NBA, I'd rather wait and hold it in SF when the Dubs get a new arena. SF has a lot more appeal to tourists than the Sacramento area.

Thanks for pointing out the Bay Area.  I forgot it on my list of cities that should host NBA All Star games.  Once the new Warriors arena is built, that'll be a great place for holding activities.  I'm surprised the ASG hasn't been in San Antonio yet.  They have a new arena built within the last 10-15 years, and they are in South Texas, which is very mild in the winter.  It definitely should've gotten one by now.
