00:03 To the Eastern Conference All-Stars,

00:08 you scored the most points.

00:11 Well, congratulations.

00:14 [LAUGHTER]

00:16 I mean, it is really--

00:19 it's a real problem.

00:21 They have got to do something.

00:23 They've got to be better.

00:24 They've got to do something creative here.

00:28 And I think it's-- let's be honest.

00:31 This guy came up at the end-season tournament

00:33 and paid the winners, paid players to win.

00:39 There was an incentive.

00:41 There was cash on the table.

00:43 There is no money involved in the All-Star weekend.

00:47 I have said repeatedly that players don't even want to go.

00:51 They would rather go to Cabo.

00:52 They would rather go spend five days with their family

00:56 and sleep or go on a little mini three or four day trip

01:01 somewhere with their family or just get away

01:05 with all the injuries and all the grind

01:07 that it is of the NBA season.

01:09 And the ones that have to go, all the superstars

01:12 that have to go, they don't want to go.

01:14 And they say they want to go.

01:16 They're lying.

01:17 They aren't paid.

01:19 And these guys, they want to be paid literally

01:22 for an autograph.

01:24 They want to be paid for a selfie.

01:26 They want to be paid to smile.

01:29 They want to be paid to show up, to do anything.

01:33 So I think they've got to make it a tournament where

01:38 like the in-game, in-season tournament that they had

01:42 for money--

01:42 I think the All-Star game should be US versus the world

01:45 for like a giant sum of money that's

01:47 split amongst the winning side.

01:50 And the losers get nothing.

01:52 I think that that would--

01:54 so it should definitely be one team gets it all.

01:57 The other team gets nothing.

01:59 And I guarantee you that you will see the hardest played

02:03 All-Star game you've ever seen in your life.

02:05 No one wants to lose and get nothing ever in anything,

02:09 in any sport ever.

02:10 I don't care what it is.

02:11 If one side gets money, the other doesn't,

02:13 the team that loses will want to go drink whiskey and bite

02:17 the glass.
