OH NOES! It's been 21 years since Chicago had an All-Star game! There's only 28 other cities in the NBA!

Bring the ASG to White Vegas! I want to not go because all of the tickets are given to millionaires and celebrities. Should hold the game in the Sky Dome and the Friday/Saturday stuff in the ACC.

I mean the Garden is an legendary arena, its just a little dated as well. Staples Center is built as a convention center as well as a sports arena. Last year they held in in the new Cowboys stadium. The Alamo Dome in San Antonio was well suited for All Star weekend.


lol serious?

This isn't the original Garden. The original Garden has been gone for several years now and we've only won one in the new "Garden" it's changed names several times originally known as The Fleetcenter


I think he was referring to Madison Square Garden, not the Boston Garden.

I don't think the weather outside the arena would keep people from tuning in on their TVs.
