NBA All Star Weekend 2011

Friday:
Rookies beat the Sophomores. I just skimmed through this game. Didn't really watch much.
Skimmed the celebrity game too. Silly kind of. Pippen made a bunch of three's though.

Saturday:
Jones won the three-point contest. Griffin won the dunk contest. That was really no surprise.
2 complaints about the dunk contest. First, the dunk contest used to be about the best dunkers in the league. The only contestant i really knew anything about this year is Griffin. I'd heard of Ibaka before but really knew nothing about him. The other two, i couldn't have even told you what team they play for. When did it become rookies and people hardly anyone knows of? It used to be players like Jordan and Wilkins and the most well known players in the game. I don't know, i guess it was just a bit more entertaining to me when the best players in the game were competing, thats all. Second complaint, they should go back to just giving them one re-do or something if they miss. This whole 2 minutes to complete a dunk is dumb. I sit here and get bored while they dink around and by the time they actually make a dunk i've stopped watching already.

Sunday:
All-star game. West won. Kobe got MVP. It was ok and i watched, but i just kept thinking how different the all-star game is now. 10-15 years ago it was so different. I guess the players were quite a bit different back then too.
Anyway, here's a video of some of the stuff from the game.


Happy now?
