Charles Barkley has responded to Draymond Green’s criticisms regarding the NBA’s revamped All-Star game format for 2025. Green, a forward for the Golden State Warriors, has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the new structure.

Green has voiced concerns about the inclusion of the Rising Stars team in the All-Star games, arguing that since they aren’t officially considered All-Stars, they shouldn’t be part of the event. Additionally, he disapproves of the four-team tournament format and the rule that declares the first team to score 40 points as the winner of each game.

Check out the video featuring Green’s comments below.

Barkley, appearing frustrated with Green’s outcry, called him out for complaining about the modifications to the format. He offered a compelling argument, suggesting that players from Green’s era contributed to the lack of competitiveness in the All-Star game, and now, he is criticizing the league for attempting to revitalize the event.

Barkley’s viewpoint presents a strong case. It will be interesting to see how Green responds to this critique.
