All-Star Weekend Thread

I think that the 108.713 people who watched the All Star isn't a sucess, because probably the 90% of these people go to watch basketball like they go to watch Miley Cyrus or a Chuck Norris's speach.

You can't watch basketball at 100 yards of distance, you can scream, you can eat hot dogs, you can drink beer and buy t-shirts, salute your mum ...but not watch basketball because you can't distinguish between a cheerleader and Hulk Hogan at 100 yards far.

In fact, this is the demostration about the difficulty of carry people to a pavillion only for the basketball.

You must see the european basket model, crowds of few persons but screamers and loyals ... and basketball experts too ... the kind of people who never will go to the All Star weekend.

I think the NBA needs new blood and, sincerely and no offense, I think this boy is the boss since too time ago... what's the name of the boy.... mmm ... David Sterling or Darius Stern or something like this.

Excuse my manners , I simply am making conversation about why in America the basketball is behind of the football and baseball, and the NBA teams are losing money.

The football is a exclusively US's sport, and the baseball is only played in USA, caribbean countries and Japan, but ...

... the basketball is played all over the world, in America continent from Canada until Argentina, China, Australia, Africa and Europe ... and the best players of the world want play in the NBA.

Why the NBA is in crisis and why NFL and NHL are booming?

I'd like to see Jonny actually complete a dunk in the NBA before he gets in the contest, I've seen him attempt some nice dunks, but he always clanks it

Totally agree on Tony Allen in a dunk contest. That bounce and windmill he did was comparable to the best this last Saturday.

For new events, what about a coaches game? We'd absolutely dominate with Martin, Bickerstaff, Theus, Rambis, Laimbeer
