NBA All Star Weekend

The 2012 NBA All Star will be taking place on February 24 at 9 pm. The East and West All Stars will face off and the starters for the east are Derrick Rose at point guard Dwayne Wade at shooting guard Carmelo Anthony at small forward Lebron James at power forward and Dwight Howard at center. The starters for the west are Chris Paul at point guard Kobe Bryant at shooting guard Kevin Durant at small forward Blake Griffin at power forward and Andrew Bynum at center .The dunk contest will consist of Paul George, Derrick Williams, Jeremy Evans, and Chase Budinger. They will also have a Sprint Celebrity game and a rising stars game. The rising stars game will have Blake Griffin from the Clippers Jeremy Lin, Ricky Rubio, Markleff Morris, Kemba Walker, Landry Fields, Norris Cole, Brandon Knight, Tristan Thompson, and Greg Monroe on Team Shaq. Team Chuck had Kyrie Irving, Demarcus Cousins, Derrick Williams, Paul George, Marshon Brooks, John Wall, Tiago Splitter, Evan Turner, Gordon Hayward, Kawhi Leonard, and Derrick Favors. The three point contest will have Kevin Durant, Kevin Love, James Jones, Mario Chalmers, Ryan Anderson, and Anthony Morrow. They will also have a skills challenge with Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, John Wall, Kyrie Irving, Tony Parker, Rajon Rondo, and Deron Williams. I think that the people that they picked to play in the all star game was good. They picked all good players and they picked ones that were capable of playing in the all star game. The only thing is they should have started russel westbrook instead of chris paul. In the rising stars game they forgot to put James harden and Lou Williams. They forgot them because they both are having an outstanding season. They are coming off the bench helping their team win games. That is why they need to be in rising stars game. In the skills challenge they should have chosen steve nash because he has some of the best handles in the NBA. They picked the best players for the job in ever other event that will be going on.
