Valentines Week Excitement

Well it all finaly over. For those of us unlucky enough to have that someone special (myself included) we have to find other ways to spend that time...lucky for us guys there was such and event that happened this weekend...NBA All Star Weekend. What a savior this was, a reason for me and the boys to go out to a few bars this weekend and watch some great ball action.

The festivities for us started at fridays to catch the skills challenge. Fridays was filled to the brim with the lovers but lucky the bar was mosly free which is what we came in for. So we ate and watched the skills challenge which was quite entertaining. Derrick Rose ccame out ontop and he looked real good making all the passes on the first shot...very fast runs. To my suprise Tony Parker did not make a great showing. I think he was overly confident because he was already running to the next station before the balls went in and when he missed this cost him some major time. After that we left there on to our next venue.

We then walk into an old favorate(term used loosely) spots...Dugens. We watched the 3 point shootout there but when we were there they also had what looked like a 45+ singles even which was quite interesting so we stayed there only long enough to watch the first round of the 3 point shootout. Nothing so spectacular to here other then Jason Kapono the winner 2 years running with ver impressive shohing both times with a 24 then a 25 this time was out in the first round. This let Deaquan Cook walk away with the title with a 19.

We finshind are viewing at Hooters with there many tvs, beer, and "scantily clad" women was a proper choice. A friend of mine works at the particular establishment so we sat with her. so we got some drinks and watched the stupidity that ws this years dunk contest. To my eyes the whole thing was fixed to get Dwight Howard and Nate Robinson to the final round. Last year was no better with Howard winning with doing that non dunk of his...crap. Once the final round was underway it got a little better because Howard and Robinson can both dunk great. When Robinson came out with the Kryponite uniform, ball, and sneakers and jumped over Howard that really was great to see...that short guy can really jump. He deserved to win and im glad the majority of the fans agreed with me with 52% of the vote. On other notes i really want that Kryptonite ball and those sneakers are hot. Next year we can expect Labron James in the contest which we saw a little of at the end of the All Star game(more on that later). I would love to see him and Kobe mix it up.

We did go to a club after hooters where i saw one of my boys. It was an ok time...alot of girls without BFs but i did not see anything that was so outstanding atleast to my eye. There were a few funny times during that time we had there but i dont think i need to say those here lol.

Now on to sunday night with the Allstar Game. Desiding to eat before the game we went to one of are standby Hibachi restaurants. The meal was great and we were on our way to a local bar RJs to see the game. Watching the game there was actually quite good, good screens, decent food, not to crowded but had people still. The game itself was alot of fun to watch. Great players doing what they do best and having a little bit of fun which was cool to see. There were alot of great plays and i cant go through them all but i must say that Chris Paul really came with it and i liked alot of the moved and plays he put together...he was gunning for that MVP. Ofcorse Kobe was great with 27 points. He and Shac got Co MVP which i did not think was needed but i gues the fan voting was very close.

All in all a good weekend. Like i said at the start good thing for the NBA to take the heat off of an otherwise uneventful Valentines. Until we next meet again.
