Celtics star Jaylen Brown is a fan of adding 1-on-1 event to NBA All-Star Week
· Yahoo Sports
There is no dearth of NBA fans with opinions on how to improve All-Star Week, from the main event itself to the side events leading up to it that have in many cases fallen in popularity over the years in terms of both fan engagement and star participation.
Whether we're talking about the confusing, seemingly ever-changing rules and format for the All-Star game itself, the skills challenge, the 3-point shootout, or the much-maligned dunk contest, the consensus seems to be that the annual pan-NBA exhibition tilt and its ancillary events need some work. To such an end, star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown was asked whether adding a 1-on-1 event similar to what we are seeing in the Unrivaled league might ever be a good fit for an All-Star Week event. "I'm actually a big fan of the one-on-one, off the dribble sports," said Brown.

"I think 'Ball is Life' is doing some stuff as well," he added. "I actually love watching because it reminds me like the purity of the game."
"It's ... just mano a mano," continued Brown. "It's got people in the court talking trash. You know what I mean? You've got to play two sides. You've got to be an offensive and a defensive player, so I think that'll be great. And then you can do it like boxing, you can call a guy out, challenge some people."
"There's some people I would love to challenge. Some people that's here this weekend, I would love to challenge all of them. Luka (Doncic), (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander), (Jalen) Brunson. Donovan (Mitchell). I'd challenge all them one-on-one. You could donate to whatever charity – let's set it up."
