This year All-Star weekend will be held at Dallas, Texas. It all starts tomorrow night at 7:00 pm EST with the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game presented by FINAL FANTASY® XIII on ESPN. Some of the celebs participating in this year's game will be Pitbull, Chris Tucker, Rick Fox, and Common. The coaches will be Magic Johnson and Alonzo Mourning with Mario Lopez as an assistant coach. Quickly following the All-Star Celebrity game will be the Rookie Challenge at 9:00 pm EST. Names I would like to mention playing for the Rookie team are DeJuan Blair of the Spurs and Taj Gibson of the Bulls. As for the sophomore team you got Eric Gordon of the Clippers and Marc Gasol of the Grizzlies. With the sophomores winning the games for the past how many years, I wonder if the Rookies will step up this year and actual win. Catch the Rookie Challenge on TNT.
Then we have Saturday night. With all that'll be goin on for Saturday night, I'm most excited to watch the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest on TNT.
We all know who i want to win :), but with the other competitors in the contest it's definitely not gonna be an easy win. Check out how Nate Robinson won the Slam Dunk Contest last year:
Then we have the 2010 All-Star game on Sunday night! It'll be on TNT at 7:00 pm EST. With Dallas promising to offer a bigger weekend then ever, they are holding the game inside Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. A stadium can hold up to 80,000 fans. Even though it's Valentine's Day, you can definitely catch me posted in front of any t.v. showing the All-Star game. For the East you got James, Rose, Bosh, Pierce, Rondo, Howard, Garnett, Horford, Iverson, Wade, Johnson, and Wallace. Then you've got our West team consisting of Gasol, Williams, Bryant, Nowitzki, Randolph, Roy, Paul, Nash, Kaman, Duncan, Anthony, Billups, Durant, Stoudemire. I, personally, don't really want Kobe playing too much or even at all during this weekend. Just because i don't want anything to be risking his ankle and the Lakers' chance at another win in the championships this year. I'm also upset that Paul isn't getting to play, but what can he do after that knee surgery.
I'm excited for this weekend :) May the best team win! West of course ;)
UPDATE: Jason Kidd will be replacing Kobe Bryant for All-Star Weekend. (Big ups to www.watdadickens.blogspot.com)
