All Star Weekend

OK, OK, All Star Weekend has come and gone. Like two weeks ago. But being caught up in basketball fever got me out of my normal habits, and I have neglected the blog.

All Star Weekend was everything I hoped it would be. Lots of basketball players! I went to the NBA Jam Session, the Rookie - Sophomore game, the practice for both the East and West teams, and All Star Saturday Night. It was all good except for the Rookie - Sophomore game. I was sitting beyond the ozone layer, the beer prices were jacked up even higher than normal, and I barely knew any of the players.

All Star Saturday night was the highlight of the weekend. I debated on selling my ticket at the last minute because I was in a mood, but I knew that I would regret it if I did. I sat closer to my normal seat, and I loved every minute of it. My boy Dirk won the three-point shootout, and the dunk contest went to the first dunk-off ever. It was outstanding.

Now it's back to the SOS. But I can say that I have seen the All Stars.
