Next weekend it’s time again, the All-Star-Weekend 2018 is approaching and the highlight of the weekend will take place in the night from Sunday to Monday: The All-Star-Game. SPOX provides you with all the information about the game and its transfer to DAZN.
This year, for the first time, the game of the best players of the league will not take place in the classic East versus West mode, but the players from the respective conference, who received the most votes in the voting, will be the team captain this year. As in the previous year, these were Stephen Curry and LeBron James.
Curry and James were now allowed to alternately choose the eight remaining starters – no matter which conference they belonged to. The respective head coaches then selected a total of 14 reserve players, from which the captains were again allowed to choose.
DAZN broadcasts not only the All-Star Game, but also the complete All-Star Weekend. Only the Celebrity Game will not show DAZN. You can see the Rising Stars Challenge of the biggest NBA talents, the Skills Challenge and the two most popular competitions, the Slam Dunk Contest and the Triple Contest.
DAZN is a sports streaming service that broadcasts regular season matches every night in addition to the All-Star Weekend. In addition to the NBA, there will also be live games of the NFL, NHL and MLB.
European football can also be seen live on DAZN. Premier League, Serie A, Primera Division and Ligue 1 matches are on the programme.
After a free trial month, the offer costs 9.99 Euro per month and can be cancelled at any time.
After the ASG ended 192:182 last year and caused a lot of excitement because it was boring for the spectators, the new mode is hoping for a more exciting duel between the best of the league. In addition, the league raised the prize money for the winners to $100,000 per player, the losers continue to receive $25,000.
After the masters of both teams had been decided, LeBron James now has to give up three of his team mates in the All-Star Game. John Wall, Kevin Love and DeMarcus Cousins injured themselves and are not available to the King. James got three new players for it. Paul George, Andre Drummond and Kemba Walker followed suit.
