Marcus Smart previously has also said "No one cares about that" in reference to the in-season tournament during media day. Is the fact that there are no stakes taking away from this new event?

They should open it up. Make it like a Champions League type thing. Give NBA teams an automatic bye and then have the rest of the world duke it out. Then once it’s set have it be single elimination and maybe the winning team gets to host the all star game or something.

Seeing how the players reacted to when Noah questioned the NBA team being world champions maybe you get more effort from the players because of pride. Add a big pool of money and all star game hosting and maybe they’ll care. And if they don’t it’s not like it would hurt anything. This brings more eyes worldwide and gives more incentives to win.
