In tonight's NBA on TNT pregame show (set in Los Angeles, site of NBA All-Star Weekend), Charles Barkley said the NBA hosts the best All-Star Weekends.
A guy like Sir Charles is a man of many opinions. And when you have something to say about every single topic on Earth, some of your opinions will inevitably be disagreed upon.
I happen to disagree with Chuck on this certain topic. In my opinion, it is the MLB that hosts the best All-Star Weekend.
Unlike the NHL and NFL, two leagues that are successful in part because of physical play, the MLB All-Star Game is a competitive game that doesn't hold back when it comes to intensity -- and it was that way even before they decided to award World Series home-field advantage to the winning league.
Unlike the NBA All-Star Game, the baseball version is played well both offensively and defensively.
Since Barkley was at the site of NBA All-Star Weekend, I can see him pandering to his crowd. But when speaking objectively, the best All-Star Weekend is hosted by the MLB.
