Oddly, whenever I tried to make the case that my left-handed makes also needed to be duplicated, it didn't register.
Ugh... next they're going to play '500' at the probowl. They should be focusing their energy on how to improve the dunk contest. Or they need to have a 'Street-ball' game with NBA players.
This makes a lot more sense than the Skills Challenge and the Shooting Stars Competition. Does anyone actually care about those? Maybe some people won't care about HORSE, but I bet there would be more takers for it than those other two. I think a rule should be "no dunking" because (1) Not everyone has the natural athleticism to hang, and (2) They already have a dunk contest.
bring back the legends game!!!!!!!!!! it used to really suck but wouldnt it be great to see some of the greats from the 80s like mj, larry, clyde, magic, zeke, nique, chuck, wow! imagine the ratings that game would get. in the 70s they had a 1 on 1 tournament, i think petrie won it once. i always thought they should bring something like that back to all star weekend could you imagine kobe vs lebron. in the summer of 95 shaq and hakeem were supposed to have a 1 on 1 game. i think it was sponsored by pepsi and was going to be pay per view but for some reason it never happened. anyway the all star events have really sucked recently, the rookie game usually has better dunks than the dunk contest and the other stuff is pretty much forgetable. doesnt the wnba have its own all star game? why... never mind i know why.
Field selected for HORSE or GEICO or whatever they are calling it. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/allstar2009/news/story?id=3896766
I don't know if they still do it, but when I went to All Star Weekend in Denver a couple of years ago, they had a two-on-two with one "legend" and one current player from the same team. It wasn't televised, but it was pretty cool to see.
