Michael Meyer draws upon nearly 20 years of relevant experience in his role as an attorney. Outside of his work as an attorney, Michael Meyer is a passionate basketball fan.
Last year, the NBA adopted a new format for its annual All-Star Game. Instead of a showdown between the best players in the Eastern and Western Conferences, the league allowed the player with the most fan votes from each conference to serve as a team captain and choose their respective teams regardless of conference. The other All-Star starters were selected based on voting from fans, media, and players while the league’s head coaches chose the reserve players. Steph Curry and LeBron James served as captains last year, and what resulted was an entertaining 148-145 win by Team LeBron.
James felt last year’s draft was an enjoyable process, and now the NBA is allowing fans to see just how the new draft format works. According to Marc Stein of The New York Times, the players have agreed to televise the draft, which is expected to be broadcast on January 30 or 31, depending on team captain availability. The game itself is scheduled for February 17, 2019.
