ALL STAR WEEKEND

This weekend we experienced the NBA all-star weekend which I believe is one of the most exciting weekends in all of sports. It started on Friday Night with the rookie challenge. The NBA truly looks like it has a good set of younger players. The sophomores once again beat the rookies. Saturaday night was even more exciting. Jason Kapono won the three point shooting contest. He tied a NBA record with 25 points in the final round. The Slam Dunk contest was the most exciting ever. Gerald Green had a great dunk which he blew out a candle while slamming it down. However, It was Dwight Howard's night. He had 4 great dunks. The best was the Great Superman Dunk. The Weekend was ended on sunday night with the all- star game. Once again the game was an exciting up and down game. We saw the best players in the NBA make great plays. The eastern conference all stars won the game. Lebron James won the MVP award, which is second in his career. Not to mention the game was held in New Orleans, which shows the city is on its way back.
