NBA All-Star Weekend here
The best and brightest in the NBA will hoop it up this weekend. I wasn't watching when the biggest football stars faced off in the Pro Bowl a few days ago. And, I probably will skip the NBA's All-Star weekend.
In general, I'm not wild about All-Star games. The idea of an All-Star contest sounds good, in theory. We get to see "dream teams" made up of the best players in a particular sport. However, most of the time, the players don't give a 100-percent effort. If they don't care, why should I? Many athletes actually don't want to get selected to All-Star teams because they'd rather have a few days off.
The only appealing elements of NBA All-Star Weekend: the three-point shootout and slam dunk contest.
