What a decision.
On Sunday night, TV viewers were faced with deciding if they’d watch the 40th anniversary “Saturday Night Live” show or the NBA All-Star Game.
Judging by the Twitter reaction, it was SNL in a landslide.
If the NBA holds an all-star game but no one saw it because of #SNL40, did it actually happen?

Thoughts and Prayers for the NBA all star game ratings #SNL40
— John Doran (@JohnDoranND) February 16, 2015I like the NBA and all but this #SNL40 is must watch TV.
— High_Tider (@High_Tider) February 16, 2015If you're watching the NBA All-Star Game instead of the #SNL40 special, I'm not sure we can still be friends.
— Hal Hansen (@halhansen) February 16, 2015Benching the #NBAAllStarNYC game tonight to watch #SNL40
— Mackenzie Thirkill (@KenzieThirkill) February 16, 2015Adam Silver was undefeated until he thought it was ok to have #NBAAllStarNYC at the same time as #SNL40
— Alex Cervasio (@cvas) February 16, 2015Sorry NBA, I've got my own All-stars to watch. #SNL40
— AJ Kirkpatrick, AICP (@ajkirkpatrick) February 16, 2015NBA All-Star game, #SNL40 And The Walking Dead at the same time? DVR, you the real MVP

— Brandon Sinram (@b_sinram) February 16, 2015Here were votes for the NBA:
Having to pick between the NBA All-Star game and #SNL40 is incredibly difficult. Going with the All-Star game live and recording SNL.
— James Oldham (@JimmyOldham23) February 16, 2015Well I turned it on for 2 minutes, and saw Celebrity Jeopardy. I'll call it a night. Lol #SNL40 Time for the best NBA game of the year.
— Matt Raines (@RainesMatt) February 16, 2015DVR-ing #SNL40 for tomorrow. I officially have a new NBA bae and his name is @StephenCurry30 so it's #AllStar2015 night
— Lillian Gao (@Lillielgee) February 16, 2015And this was the best tweet of them all:
NBA All-Star weekend and the #SNL40 special: both overblown spectacles centering around TV events that should've canceled years ago
