NBA All-Star Weekend

Now for the all-star game that I do like and has entertaining things, unlike the Pro Bowl. The weekend started off last night with the Celebrity Game and the Rookie Challenge. Andre Iguodala was the star of the night, as he put a show in the Rookie Challenge, won by the Sophomores won 106-96. On the night, Iggy had 30 points, including 9 dunks.

On Saturday night, the main attractions are the Slam Dunk Contest and 3-Point Contest. The two main competitors in the Dunk Contest are Josh Smith and the aforementioned Iguodala, who says he has some tricks up his sleeves for tonight.

Tomorrow night, we have the All-Star game itself, which does actually get pretty entertaining in the 2nd half when they start to actually try some defensively. So check it out if you get a chance, and I can guarantee it will be more entertaining than the Pro Bowl, although that's not really saying much.
