well, the only good thing All-Star weekend gave me was a reason to cook some bomb quesadillas and drink. other than that, i was not impressed. thus, my post is going to be sub-par, i already know it. moving on, here are my quick- thoughts:
- 3 clock malfunctions during the co-ed shooting contest was sad. the scoreboard controller can't set the clock for 2 minutes? amateur!
- what a lame contest anyway, i almost fell asleep watching bill laimbeer and michael cooper trying to make a straight-away 3.
-lebron has no skillz. i should have never picked him first in my fantasy league.
- those commercials for Haier appliances are are a real hit. in everyone they open the drawer freezer and a meat & cheese tray (like the ones your parents get for your high school graduation party) appears. who the hell puts a meat & cheese tray in their freezer?
- i knew Barkley would win the race against Dick Bavetta. he may be fat and old, but once an athlete, always an athlete. that and the guy was 67 and ran like a woman.
- D-Wade won the skillz challenge. who cares?
- classic commentating moment when Reggie Miller made fun of Tony Parker for getting locked up with Eva Longoria. he's probably jealous.
- dwight howard is going to be a great. i believe he will lead a team to a championship. the kid is only 21.
- dunk contest was weak. the last round was poor. think of some new dunks!
- tyrus thomas is a piece.
- jason kapono with a nice win in the 3-point shootout. remember when he used to wear a headband at UCLA thinking he was the shit? he proved himself tonite.
- the entire event felt like watching those silly AND 1 street tapes. the commentator on the court yelling in a mic. the NBA has lost its class.
- how about Dick Bavetta's bloody knee after he dove for the finish line. a ballsy and determined 67 year old. fun to see.
- too many commercial breaks. of course.
- i wonder how hard those guys party. especially in Vegas. must be fun.
- nate robinson has got hops. too bad he sucks in a real game. the coolest thing i ever saw him do was fight carmelo anthony.
- you know the dunk contest has gone downhill when gerald green wins. he just doesn't compare to jordan, wilkins, carter, ceballos (for the hell of it). plus, green pulled his arm away early on the Dee Brown dunk to look at the rim. weak!
- penn & teller. those guys fucking suck.
- scottie pippen looked good in a Bulls uniform. too bad his shot looked like shaq shooting free-throws.
- jumping over a table and dunking isn't that cool. what happened to between-the-legs and spinning dunks?

i hope one day you come to appreciate penn and teller.
all star weekend is for suckers. the skillz tourney should determine home court for the NBA finals.
A few thoughts...
Yoshi said... doesn't know much if he hopes you become a Penn and Teller fan one day. There is no future there. There only contribution was the movie The Aristocrats, and even that was only good for about 15 minutes.
If it were up to you, would it be called the Skills challenge instead of the Skillz challenge?
You're right about Dwight Howard. Let's hope that the team he leads to the championship is Bats.
Who would you rather face in a checkers match, Dick Bavetta, NFL referee Hochuli or MLB umpire John McSherry? I would choose McSherry because he is dead.
I'll bet you wish you had picked Elton Brand number one overall. It seems to be working out with Lebron anyways though, don't be too hard on yourself.
I hate Nate Robinson and I hate Scottie Pippen.
Why is this thing called Pick-Off Sports Talk?
