When you watch a NBA all star you would expect to see about 30 or 40 thousand people in attendance, and over a million people watching. But what if you were in a stadium that could fill over a hundred thousand fans and feel like you were sitting in front of your television watching the game in High Definition. That’s what the fans will experience this year as the NBA All Star game will be in the newly acclaimed Dallas Cowboys stadium. The game looks to be in the Eastern Conference favor since Kobe Bryant for the West is not participating with an ankle injury. So look for the East to take over a big lead quickly with their line up being Derek Rose, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, Dwayne Wade, and the KING Lebron James. Allen Iverson who was voted by the Fans to participate in the game wont be since has been taking a leave of absence with his sick child, so that’s Derek Rose will be starting for Iverson. Rose is the first bull to participate in the all-star game since Michael Jordan back in 1998.
Last night was All Star Saturday night for the fans to see some other favorite super stars compete in challenges. In the skills competition Steve Nash won as he defeated Deron Williams who was second, and Brandon and Russell Westbrook who were third and fourth. In the team competition Team Texas defeated Team Los Angeles as Texas had the team of Dirk Nowitzki, Becky Hammon, and Kenny Smith. The 3 point shoot out turned out to be great as rookie Stephen Curry was hitting threes from everywhere, but former finals MVP Paul Pierce stile the spotlight as he defeated curry in the finals to win the contest. The best was saved for last the sprite dunk contest everyone was expecting high flyer Shannon Brown to defeat Nate Robinson, but the contest didn’t go well as planned as the fans and players around watching weren’t excited at all. Charles Barkley said, “This is the worst dunk contest I’ve seen, if you want people to have fun and enjoy themselves, the NBA is going to need to get the top athletes like a Lebron, Kobe, or Vince to be in the competition. Nate Robinson won his 3rd NBA dunk championship.
