    It may as well be. I haven't watched an ASG in years.

    I haven't even watched any of it so far. Had to take my Valentine out Friday, then after reading the reviews here, didn't bother to catch any of the 'action' on replay.

    Portland is full of hipsters that like soccer, not basketball, plus as was mentioned, what is a young rich black man supposed to do in Portland? Can you imagine Drake trying to find shit to do here?

    My 8 year-old loved the Gary Clark Jr. rendition of the national anthem. Maybe I'm just getting old.

    Actually I'm kind of a stranger too. In the last 30 years I've probably seen parts of 2/3 of NBA ASGs, no, I think 1/2. And I just watch small parts till I get bored. Just like watching non-Blazer games. Short attention span I guess.

    Probably because it sounds like something accessible to them.

    The NBA has fucked this weekend up much worse than Sochi.

    It's so awesome that a sporting event, which is supposed to reward a city for loyalty (not barely staying in a city, but giving $$ to the league) and be about the game of basketball, is now about what "famous" people will be able to do for fun.

    Portland doesn't have enough food carts to host an all-star game.
