NBA ALL STAR WEEKEND is here
Everything is ready for the NBA All star weekend in New Orleans, normally knows as the music mecca, now it will turn into the hoops capital in the whole planet, and it will culminate in the 57th NBA All Star game.
With the West leaded by Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Yao Ming, Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson and the East by Dwayne Wade, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, Lebron James and Jason Kidd, but even though Garnett is one of the starters, it is not certain that he will see action since he is suffering of abdominal pain and probably Antawn Jamison will be starting for him.
The event will be watched in 215 countries, and will be covered by more than 1000 press services including TV and radio.
Events that will take place during the weekend included the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge, the Sprite Slam Dunk contest and the Foot Locker Three-Point Shootout.
This is a weekend not to be missed, since the best of the best will leave everything on the court in order to go for the MVP ring.
This is exactly the type of event that a town like New Orleans needed to raised more than one low spirit product of the natural disasters that blew more than half of the town away.
Good for the NBA to bring this show to NOLA.
