NBA fans are not happy with the 2024 All-Star Game in Indiana after the scoring record was broken by the Eastern Conference. Damian Lillard led the way for the East with 36 points as they scored a record 211 points in their win over the Western Conference on Sunday.
Lillard was named the Kobe Bryant All-Star Game MVP, which was met by boos from the Indianapolis crowd. Tyrese Haliburton also had a great game for the East, so the hometown Pacers fans wanted him to win. Jaylen Brown scored 36 points for the East as well, while Karl-Anthony Towns exploded for 50 points for the West.
However, fans are not happy with the free-scoring and defense-less All-Star Game. One tweeted:
"Kobe in heaven mad asf."
Kobe Bryant is known for his competitive nature and even got a broken nose playing in the All-Star Game. He owns the record for most All-Star Game MVPs with four, tied with Bob Pettit.
Another fan wants the All-Star Game canceled because a team scoring 211 points and a combined score of 397 in a game is crazy.
"Just cancel the NBA All-Star game. 211 points is insane and 397 combined points in a game is just disgusting."
One fan wants the All-Star Game fixed:
"I get that they haven't really played defense in the All-Star game in my lifetime, but 211 points is pretty absurd."
Here are other memes and reactions on X to the record-breaking 2024 NBA All-Star Game:
Records set in the 2024 NBA All-Star Game
The 2024 All-Star Game was entertaining for fans who wanted all offense and no defense.
It was a successful event despite the criticisms from fans on social media. The talking point of this year's All-Star Game was the record-breaking 211 points scored by the Eastern Conference.
It was the first time a team crossed the 200-point mark in an All-Star Game. The previous record was 194 set in 2016 by the Western Conference, but it was not the only record set in Indiana on Sunday night.
According to multiple reports, the 2024 All-Star Game also set the following records:
- Most combined points - 397 points
- Most 3-point shots made by a team - 43 3PM by the East
- Most combined 3-point attempts - 168 3PA
Guess the Lakers players!
