All Star Recap

Heres what I noticed during the 2008 NBA All Star Weekend

-BJ Armstrong still looks like a 13 year old boy....its scary
-Andrea Bargnani came out in the Rookie game surprisingly aggressive....too bad his game isnt exactly tailored for an All Star game...a rookie/soph game at that..and he still only finished with
-In a basketball game...how many shots does one player have to hit before he gets some extra attention?...for me...3 max...apparently that rule never came into play when Daniel Gibson hit 11 three-pointers...11!..it was amazing and sad at the very same time
-Hm....the WNBA Chicago Skye...why arent their colors(light or sky blue) like the Bulls(Red/Black)...the rest of the WNBA syncs the colors....hmm
-Dwayne Wade officially had the worst Skills Challenge outing ever....he never sprinted once...and lost the ball into the crowd(!) on the dribbling part...missed multiple jumpers...never seemed into it...
-Speaking of Wade...when they interviewed him during the Rookie game he was talking about the safety/emergency kits that he was giving out to people in the community....after the interview Charles said "Is there a center and a power forward in that kit for him?..."....cold Chuck....
-Deron Williams is huge...like...push Baron Davis out of the way huge...my Mom was shocked him and Chris Paul play the same position
-Rip Hamilton is a better 3-point shooter than I gave him credit for...and I gave him credit prior to the contest lol
-Jason Kapono was put on earth to shoot 3's...51% from 3 without a Shaq type downlow...but yet...only gets 20 minutes a game..go figure
-Gerald Green blowing out the candle on the cupcake was the one of the best things I've ever seen...in anything...
-Dwight Howard is....tall lol...his throwing the ball up against the backboard...slapping it with his left hand and catching it,then dunking it was the most amazing things i've ever seen...in anything...scratch that 1st thing I said...
-People will never realize how hard dunking in socks is...now imagine putting the ball between your legs with no socks and dunking...another dunk that will never be talked about
-Yes Dwight Howard jumped really high with a cape on....but...he didnt dunk the ball..more of throwing it in...
-I hate the rule of having a teammate...Jamario Moon's 2nd dunk with Kapono did him in
-I need less Kenny and Magic talking when neither of them were known for dunking...ever...they were overly critical for even good dunks...it was annoying
-Magic's trademark line"The Slam Dunk Contest is Back!"....okay we got it...there was only one year when it went away...remember that..so it didnt go anywhere for very long
-I was sooo mixed up with the jerseys in the game...spliting jerseys with a silver and white doesnt really work....
-Remember when Lebron couldnt shoot?....
-Ray Allen should have been MVP...his points were very needed down the stretch...and I still stand by that my favorite player shouldnt have been there.....
-But I cant front like Lebron's 27,9 and 8 wasnt good enough to win it either...and he didnt have to do that to Dirk...
-Weirdest thing I saw was Steve Nash out on the break on the wing...it looked so awkward...
-Allen Iverson:7pts,6asts,6tos....ew
-Could you tell Rasheed didnt want to be there?....shooting 3-pointers left handed?
-Brandon Roy's quiet 18pts,9rebs and 5 asts....he's sneaky athletic too...like Ray Allen

LOL @ Nash on the wing....hilarious....and Deron Williams is dead huge...gotta realize how big Paul actually is and he absolutely towers over him
