    And, I would love to see it in Toronto, and 2008 WOULD have been bid upon by Toronto(but we are building a nice new complex to complement the ACC) so I think we are gonna bid(and IMO get it) in 2009.

    I think they're going after the 2011 or 2012 one now. I'm kind of dissapointed, I was expecting and ASW here sooner rather than later.

    personally I can tell you, aint that many people coming to watch an All-Star Game in Europe... and that too in Frace where the real football reigns. There's a reason why the NBA doesnt have a team in Europe. The bottomline is "REVENUE". China would be all right because the majority of the population likes basketball. As far as filling out arenas, that shouldn't be a problem with all that population!!!! hahaha. I'm jokin guyz.. before i get all the "rah rah" type fools here goin off on me!!
