All-Star Weekend: Big Men Can Dunk

Of the events that happened during the All-Star Weekend, my most anticipated event was the slam dunk competition. Gerald Green, last year's slam dunk champion, was ousted by none other than Superman, [oh sorry], I mean Dwight Howard. I got to watch the slam dunk competition and I was really impressed about the creativity of Dwight Howard. I really love the dunk where he slapped the ball to the board and back to his hand and then the DUNK!! That happened in seconds, so I wasn't really sure if it was a dunk when I first saw it. The replays came and the first word that entered my mind was, "wow!" No wonder the commentator said after "that" dunk, "I'm going home!! Lol!" The Birthday Cake Dunk from Gerald Green was nice but everybody was just waiting for the next dunk from Howard. So, what did you enjoyed most during the All-Star Weekend? Was it the Rookie V Sophomore game? Or was it the East V West game?

All-Stars Coming

Enough of the distressing loss of the San Antonio Spurs to the Seattle Supersonics. Hmmm.. Let's switch to the upcoming 2008 NBA All-Stars at New Orleans in February 15-17. Kevin Garnett topped the voting with 2,399,148 votes. KG plays for the East now. But I'm rooting for the West!.. Ha-ha! Not only because Tim Duncan starts as a forward but for the reason I think the West is better. The Eastern Team includes Kevin Garnett [Boston], LeBron James [Cleveland], Dwight Howard [Orlando], Jason Kidd [New Jersey], & Dwayne Wade [Miami]. The Western Team includes Carmelo Anthony [Denver], Tim Duncan [San Antonio], Yao Ming [Houston], Kobe Bryant [LA Lakers], & Allen Iverson [Denver]. The East coach will be Doc Rivers of the Boston Celtics. There is still no definite coach for the West but I think it'll be Byron Scott of the New Orleans Hornets. So, which team are you cheering for this coming All-Star Weekend? Will LeBron James be able to defend his All-Star MVP title?
