This weekend is the
2012 NBA All-Star game in Orlando, Florida. These gets me think which major
sport in the United States has the best All-Star game. Is it Major league
Baseball, National Basketball Association, National Football League, or
National Hockey League?
Well the MLB
All-Star game hosted in July and it the halfway point in the season. They have
the Homerun Derby and the Futures Game. The winning conference in the MLB
All-Star game gets home field advantage in the World Series. The NBA All-Star
game happens in the month of February and has few events over three days.
Starting with the Rising Star Challenge, then skills competition like the
Sprite Slam Dunk and ending with All-Star game itself. The winning conference
does not get an advantage in the NBA finals, they only the satisfaction of
beating the other conference. *The NHL has its annual All-Star game in the
month of January, which is the midway point of the season. They have skills
competitions over few days leading up the All-Star game. The Winner of the NHL
All-Star game gets trophy and the satisfaction of beating the
other conference. The NFL has it’s annual All-Star game (Pro Bowl), which is
held in January before or after the Super Bowl. It is usually held in Hawaii,
but in recent years they have moved to different locations. The winner of the Pro Bowl gets a trophy for
their conference, but the interesting thing about the Pro Bowl is that all the
players in each conference get paid.
I
think that when it comes down to which major sport in America has the best
All-Star game, the winner is the MLB All-Star game because one team will get
home field advantage in the World Series. The American and National league players take this game seriously
unlike the NFL Pro Bowl, which is becoming a joke. What do you think? Do you
agree with me?
