The crown jewel of the Association’s All-Star weekend isn’t the Sprite dunk contest, or the 3-pt shootout, or even that massively retarded skills competition. The crown jewel is the game filled with the best players in the world. Unlike the MLB’s All Star game which features the best baseball players in America and not the world, and the NFL’s All-Pro game which features the best players that opted to play in the game, the NBA All-Star game sports the BEST athletes in their sport.
I appreciated DWAYNE WADE and LeBRON JAMES full court games. They passed, played great defense and played above the rim. It was a shame that the game was boiling down to free throws and a last second heave by CARMELO ANTHONY to finally decide what was a spectacular showcase from some of the league’s best backcourt players. There were great perfomances from forwards like JAMES, ANTHONY, CHRIS BOSH, DIRK NOWITZKI and KEVIN DURANT, but the game was in the hands of the guards and DWAYNE WADE and Utah’s DERON WILLIAMS didn’t disappoint me.
The Association’s partnership with Cowboy’s owner Jerry Jones for their gala weekend was a bit annoying to me but I also imagined how desperate Jerry Jones must have been to put some bodies into his multi-billion dollar Texas taxpayer albatross seeing as to how the Cowboy’s had their postseason dreams cut short. Playing an exhibition game under a ginormous steel cave must have seemed like a good idea to someone in the league office. In my opinion tho’, less is more when cagers are concerned. Let the futbol games be played in front of 100K people. The B-ball games need a more intimate gathering [ll].
Where’s the game going down next year? I’ma see if we can get Dontrevius Wenters a ticket to All-Star weekend…
On the real, fam, this joint needs to be up on HBO or Showtime or something. Like one of those shorts they used to show between the motion picture events. Genius
I’m trying to hear some thoughts on Kobe being player of the decade…I’m not really feeling it.
^^^Amadeo
I can see where they’re going with that, tho.
I’m sure his overall presence (world’s most selling jersey, besting Jerry West points-the leagues logo) in the league/worldwide got him that nod. I can definitely see it.
LMAO, Dontrevius Wenters….. Ballin!
Dontrevius Wenters LMAOOOOOOOO “working out is for these younger players” “he need to get a job as a towel boy. one of them young fellas that mop up after they sweat. you know and then try to get promoted” to water boy lol
the music to the start of the second vid is some soulfull stuff.
well done….great editing..
the production values are pretty good….i think I saw a boom mic twice in the training segment….
the woman in the piece is great…..she’s a natural..
hahahaa I love Dontrevius!
I wasn’t really feeling the 100k crowd either. For all them damn people, the crowd was hella quiet.
I was happy to hear Chuck and the team validate my love for Shaq for all these years. I was quite disappointed that the fans think Kobe is the player of the decade, and that has nothing to do with the fact that I think he’s an asshole.

The Portland Trail Blazers are picking up needed help on the interior, acquiring Marcus Camby from the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for guard Steve Blake and forward Travis Outlaw.
