source This is old news but according to NBA.com, the 2008 NBA All Star game is to be hosted at New Orleans. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">?The award of NBA All-Star 2008 is our vote of confidence in the progress that is being made in the reopening and rebuilding of New Orleans? tourism infrastructure,? said Stern. ?New Orleans will become the basketball capital of the world in February 2008, and demonstrate to a global audience that New Orleans is very much open for business.? ?NBA All-Star 2008 will be a wonderful opportunity to showcase not only the greatest athletes in the world, but one of the greatest cities in the world in New Orleans,? said New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets Owner George Shinn. ?I can?t think of a better way to show people that our city is back and revitalized than by hosting the NBA's signature event."</div> Great move by Stern, after that tragic accident, im sure the All Star game will help. BTW- will Stern ever choose Toronto...
^Toronto didn't make a bid for 2008. They are making a bid for 2010 or later. They WILL be making a bid for coming years though.
