NBA All-Star Weekend

Tonight is the last night of NBA basketball before the 2012 NBA All-Star weekend in Orlando. Here is a run down of the All Star festivities...

The Rising Stars Game, Friday February 24th:
Features Rookies and Sophomores including Blake Griffin, Jeremy Lin and Ricky Rubio. The two teams will be coached by Shaq and Charles Barkley.

All Star Saturday Night (February 25th):
This includes the shooting stars competition, skills competition, 3-point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest. Kevin Durant was just added to the 3-point contest yesterday. Russell Westbrook with be in the skills competition. The Dunk contest will feature guys you've never heard of so I wont put you to sleep typing their names. In my opinion the dunk contest needs to go away or get the true NBA stars to participate in it.

All-Star Game (February 26th):
The All-Star game(tip-off at 6:30p.m.) includes the best basketball players on the planet. Defense is very optional in the game but it is an All-Star game so it is for the fans. The ASG is always a good time and Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Blake Griffin, and Lebron just to name a few will be there.

Enjoy your All-Star Weekend everyone!

  3. What do you think about D Wades foul on Kobe? Unspoken All Star rule to not have a hard foul or justified? And have you seen Kobe with his mask on? He looks ridiculous

  4. D-Wade should've let him dunk or whatever Kobe was going to do. It's an All-Star game that doesn't matter. Anybody with a mask on looks stupid unless your Rip Hamilton.
