Wow my chances of watching All-Star weekend went from about 5% to about 25%, would be nice to watch him we'll see. I wish him luck though!

Gotta keep him fresh for the dunk contest. That has been the plan all along...I guess.

He'll have a tougher time because he's so tall. It's tough to win above 6' 8".
I wonder if he'll use Lavine as an assist man.

Can contestants bring other players to provide comic relief (Pat trying the same dunks and missing them all)?

He should strap his ass to a bench and try dunk to simulate what Billy has done to him this season.
