All Star Weekend

February 20th, 2007 by c4d1ll4c

This year’s all start weekend was a lot better than last years, especially the dunk contest. Last year Nate Robinson beat Andre Iguodala in the slam dunk contest because he got 20+ tries, this year they put a two minute time limit and then the contestants got two attempts after the two minutes to complete the dunk. The contestants in the slam dunk contest this year were Gerald Green, Dwight Howard, Nate Robinson, and Tyrus Thomas. Nate Robinson and Gerald Green advanced to the second round. Nate took all of his two minutes to try and complete his dunk and failed miserably, he managed to complete it on his 2nd try after regulation, I give him props considering hes like shorter than me(I’m 5′9) , while Gerald green jumped over a table on his first try. It was pretty obvious that Gerald Green would kill Nate Robinson. This year’s playstation skills challenge was pretty lame, the contestents were LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Kobe Bryant, and Chris Paul. Lebron looked like he was falling asleep while he did it, I mean he has so many commercials and shoes that he doesn’t even have to try in the contest. Chris Paul did really poorly for some reason. Dwayne Wade ended up beating Kobe for a second consecutive title. This contest is really nothing without Steve Nash. Next year I hope to see D-wade and Steve Nash to make a fight for the title. The 3-point shoot out was probably the best part this year, I was disappointed to not see Ray Allen there, because he is the best 3-point shooter out there. Kapono was great, he tied the record in the 2nd round and killed Gilbert Arenas and Dirk Nowitzki. The players who win this contest are not necasarily the best shooters in the league, this contest is more of a luck factor, because if NBA players get hot, they can hit 50 3’s straight. The funniest part of this years weekend was the Dick Bavetta and Charles Barkley, Bavetta is like 67 years old and still a referee, and Charles Barkley, the half a ton hall of famer. It was hilarious to watch these two. I’ll look at this years later and laugh it off, this was the funniest thing ever. The all star game was just as cool as any year, the west completely smoked the east. There were some pretty sweet dunks too, I wish T-mac could have played more. Kobe was kind of a ball hog but hey its the all star game, its the time for players to be selfish right? I personally enjoyed watching it, not to mention the SI swimsuit edition show was right after :O *cough* It will be fun to see how well the teams do in the second half of the season.
