NBA All Star Weekend Recap. One Word. BALLS!

So this years massive nba all star weekend was a massive disappointment!! No if, and or but's about it, from Friday to Sunday the events of this game/weekend were just BALLS! I would say the only two worthwhile events this entire weekend were the skills competition (big ups to Nash) and the celebrity game (well watching T.O. and his phenomenal basketball skill set).

The NBA needs to revamp this weekend entirely and make it mean something, because its getting ridiculous. I had blogged a few weeks back about what I think they need to do to make this weekend better, ill put the link up with this article shortly, but they should (well david stern should) have a read and make some decisions. I am always available for input Mr. Stern.

I am not really going to get into detail but you guys get my drift, if you follow my posts regularly you know my thoughts about the NBA All Star weekend, so there really isn't any point in getting into detail as I usually do. This weekend was first of all bombarded by the CBA talks that are going to take place next year (well the deadline for a new deal is next year) and trade rumors. Yes, Amare will be a Cav by Thursday of this week, and yes David Aldridge is Carlton Bank's long lost Dad. I swear that guy is the TMZ of the NBA, dude start reporting things that matter.

The highlight however for me this weekend, was watching T.O. do his thing. For those who haven't seen him play ball, hop on youtube and search maybe "t.o. basketball" or something like that. The guy is an amazing ball player, like I guarantee if he put all his attention to basketball he could make the NBA in some capacity. He can shoot, handle, drive, slam, do it all. At one point in the celebrity game he gets the ball on the weak side, jab step, drop step, spins to the basket and slams it one hand. Crazy. I'm telling you with that slam he won the next days mediocre waste of time dunk off (which derozan was robbed of the title) that had a lot of ball head's in utter disappointment. Thanks T.O. For making my All Star weekend, cause from the actual game, to the events it was all shit, with the exception of you're antics in the celebrity game.

One more thing, the NBA I think was more concerned about setting a world record for attendance (which they did) and turning the game into a bloody MTV music show, then making the game and the weekend mean something more.....Stern make something happen, anything, cause next year if its in the same format, ill actually do something else over the long weekend.
