NBA All-Star Game 'is the worst basketball game ever played,' Nuggets coach says

The NBA All-Star Game did not appear to sit well with Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone as Team Giannis topped Team LeBron 189-173 on Sunday night.

Malone fired off a brutally honest take on the game.

"It's an honor to be here. It's an honor to be a part of a great weekend with great players. But that is the worst basketball game ever played," Malone said, via Altitude TV.

He gave Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid and Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving credit for competing.

"Joel was imploring some of the guys to play harder, to try and get some defense in. But no one got hurt, they put on a show for the fans, but that is a tough game to sit through, I'm not going to lie," he added.
