Lol DJ looks like some kind of cyborg/grim reaper with his eyes being white dots. I think his gf is nice, it's probably just a bad shot of her. At least she had one good eye in the pic.

ALL-STAR 2014: CLIPBOARD, PART 1

Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard on DeAndre Jordan’s improvement:

“Well, I think that he’s just playing his role. I think the first couple of years, he wanted to do more on the offensive end, and he would get upset when he didn’t get the ball, stuff like that. But now, he understands what they need for him to do, rebound, block shots, and dominate the paint as much as he can. And he’s been doing that. He’s been rebounding. He’s been blocking his shots. He’s been running the floor, and he’s been scoring that way. And I think at a young age, when you do that, it just makes you better because you learn how to play without the basketball. And as you get older, there will be opportunities to where you get the ball; you get your chance to score. And now, you understand that you can score with the ball, you can score without having the ball in your hands, and you can do all of those other things; rebounds or block shots. So, it’s only going to make him better.”

Houston Rockets guard James Harden on the Clippers’ growth under Head Coach Doc Rivers:

“They’re very good. They have two athletic big men. They’ve got a coach on the court in Chris Paul. He’s back. And they’ve got shooters around him. They’ve got some veterans that know how to win and know what to do. So, they’re a dangerous team. They’re always a dangerous team, especially in the playoffs.”

Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge on Blake Griffin’s development:

“You know, everybody that knows him or that’s around him says he works hard. I’m real close with Jamal Crawford, best friends; and he says Blake works hard. I think also, having [Chris Paul] go out. I thought CP going out put him at the forefront. I thought he actually shined in that moment, so that’s good for him.”

ALL-STAR 2014: CLIPBOARD, PART 2

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Johnson on Chris Paul’s best attribute:

“How he’s able to dominate you know, in late game [situations]. It seems like he kind of facilitates early in the first three quarters, getting everybody involved, and getting into the fourth, he just kind of takes over. So, you know, he’s arguably the best point guard in the game right now.

Toronto Raptors forward DeMar DeRozan on the Clippers’ emergence as a contender:

"It’s definitely a cool sight to see, me growing up in L.A. and always just only two teams I used to watch was either Lakers or Clippers. And the Clippers were bad. And now, to see where they are now is definitely amazing because they’re one of the hottest teams. They’re one of the most exciting teams in the league."

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving on Chris Paul’s influence:

“I definitely watch CP a lot. I’ve been a fan since I was about 13 or 14. Watching that guy play, watching that guy compete, whether it was at Wake Forest, or it was in the league. You have no choice but to learn or sit back and just watch. I mean, he’s a great player.

I don't know how that team thing works, so I may be way off in how I'm doing this.

My picks:
Shooting Stars: Hardaways
Skills Challenge: Damian Lillard
3 Point Shootout: Marco Belinelli
Dunk Contest: Terrence Ross

It's different, but I kind of like the relay aspect in the Skills challenge. I don't know about the dunk contest though lol.
