The NBA is doing something pretty cool this year–they’re bringing the All Star Game to Toronto for the first time ever. In fact, this is the first ASG held in Canada (it never made it to Vancouver while the Grizzlies were there) and in classic NBA fashion, they have ruined the cool thing with a very uncool thing.

The league announced today that 64-year old Sting will headline the All Star Game halftime show of a league hellbent on winning over the young people. Seems like a swell idea, Commissioner Ster—Silver. There are a few odd components to this complete and utter lack of awareness by the league. Mostly though, they passed up an opportunity to have a popular, younger Canadian artist (Drake is a HUGE Raptors fan…) headline the show and instead went with the irrelevant Brit who hasn’t put out anything compelling in a decade. 

Naturally, Twitter got the jokes off 140 characters at a time.  First though, let’s go live to Toronto where Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan and coach Dwane Casey share their favorite Sting tracks. Spoiler alert: They don’t have any. 

And now for some of my favorite tweets. 

I got a copy of Sting’s playlist for the eight of you familiar with his music: pic.twitter.com/njwaVxJJOd

Sting makes sense because it’s only a short trip from him down to Toronto from Castle Black pic.twitter.com/RpPLqpzxxy

Really @Toronto2016? Sting? What were your backup options, Cher and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra? How about some TORONTO talent!

If Sting brings that bullshit lute to the @AllStarGame, I hope someone throws a basketball at his face.

I wish Blake Griffin would punch the guy responsible for booking Sting

I can’t imagine how many artists turned down the NBA All-Star Game before they were just like “Fuck it, we’ll get Sting.”

And a BUNCH of you all would rather have Sting the wrestler perform.

I’d be more excited if it were Sting, the wrestler who performed at The All Star Game

@Jon__Reed the Wrestler Sting would probably be a better halftime performance.

@CDCarter13 I’d be more excited if it were Sting, the wrestler.
