    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Yahoo! Sports:</div><div class="quote_post">Las Vegas will be the site of the 2007 NBA All-Star game, marking the first time the event will be held in a non-NBA city.

    An official with knowledge of the decision, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed reports in the Las Vegas media that the city has been given the go-ahead to play host to the league's showcase event. </div>

    I'm glad to see that the NBA is allowing non-NBA cities to host the All-Star Game. This will attract more fans and attention.

    If you ask me, I think this guarentee's an NBA Franchise in Las Vegas. Wether its a new team, or a city move, this should happen.

    On another note, I like the non-NBA cities hosting the All-Star Game. I think they should bring one over here in Pittsburgh and get a team. I think it would be a nice basketball community. I know I'd go to the games.

    This going to be great. Having the events in Las Vegas, and if you ever been there, you would know, turns into one heck of a scene.

    A Good Move

    This is a good move because it should bring many fans who have been deprived of many professional basketball games to the whole weekend of events and it should also make it more interesting for the players themselves to have fun there too.
