Anyways the schedule for the weekend has been released, and everything will kick-off tonight starting with the celebrity All-Star game at 7 on ESPN...after that, the Rookie vs; Sophomore game at 9 on TNT will begin (which so far the Sophomore are on a 7 game winning streak), during halftime, the dunk in will begin...for people that don't know what that is, well it is a competition that will decide who will get the final slot in the Slam Dunk Contest..which is a whole lot better than what they did last year. The two players that will compete in the dunk in are Eric Gordon of the Los Angeles Clippers and Demar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors..the winner of the dunk in will compete with Nate Robinson, Gerald Wallace, and Shannon Brown in the Slam Dunk Contest (which I'm pissed cause Dwight Howard will not be competing this year).. back to the Rookie vs. Sophomore; the Rookie's roster consist of players suck as Brandon Jennings, Stephen Curry, Tyreke Evans, Omri Caspi, and DeJaun Blair ( pissed again cause my boy Ty Lawson didn't make it) and the Sophomore's roster consist of Michael Beasley, Derrick Rose, Brooke Lopez, Eric Gordon, Russel Westbrook, and O.J. Mayo.
Tomorrow which is my favorite from the All-Star Weekend is when most of all of the fun things take play such as H.O.R.S.E, Shooting Star, Skills Challenge, 3-Point Challenge, and my favorite the Slam Dunk Contest... I love the Slam Dunk Contest so much, it's really the main reason why I watch the NBA..so thank you Vince Carter :-) ... Every thing begins tomorrow at 5pm on TNT.
Then last but not least, Sunday raps everything up with the All-Star Game.. West vs. East, who will win..both sides are stacked with great players, but this year, the West will be playing without Kobe Bryant, and the East will be playing without Allen Iverson (still don't know why he was on the roster anyways)... the West roster consists of Carmelo Anthony, Tim Duncan, Deron Williams, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Amr'e Stoudemire, Kevin Durant.. Chris Paul and Brandon Roy are also among Kobe Bryant that will not play for the West this year due to injury...the East roster consists of Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, Al Horford, Gerald Wallace..only Allen Iverson will be out. I'm going for the East this year, not only cause I'm from the East, but also because their roster is looking even large than the West.
I just know that this Valentine Day will be a great one for me, it's going to be BOMB!!! (in Dorell Wright's voice lol), so if you are going to watch the Winter Olympics or the Daytona 500 this weekend, make sure yall take a peep at the games this weekend on TNT :-)
