Cause ‘foulteam’ made no sense

Yes, i was on a strike, if some TV writers can go on a strike over internet rights, why can’t i boycott my beloved NBA cause Baron Davis, not my favorite NBA player, was not given an All-Star berth he definitely deserved. So another All-Star weekend has passed, we’ll have a look at the most colorful memories from it, but let’s focus on B Diddy a little bit more. In his first game after the snub he goes for 29, 6 and 6 (something he can do on any given night, easily) against the best team in the NBA, hitting the game winner at the buzzer. Not an All-Star? Hmm.

Ok, that officially marks the end of my ‘Baron Davis is an All-Star’ campaign. Now let’s see what the ‘real stars’ did during the weekend.

Is there anyone in the whole world who doesn’t think ‘Dwight Howard’ when someone mentions All-Star? I’m sorry LeBron, i’m sorry Jason, i’m sorry Derron, i’m sorry Timmy and David, but unless you can fly, or at least pretend that you can fly, you are not the All-Star weekend (super)heroes. You’re not even the second best unless you can ride Gerald Green’s tailcoat and prove that the cupcake he used was your birthday cake. The game itself was fun, no doubt about that, and a definite proof that there are entertainers in the league not named Shaquille. Perhaps the biggest moment in the game was ‘Gimme My PG Back’ dunk by LeBron. Call it an act of desperation, call it demonstration of power, call it good old showing off, just don’t ignore the fact that it was LeBron James going one on four once again. No, i’m not trying to say that he’s selfish and he does that no matter who he plays with, i’m just saying that we’ll see a lot more of that as the season progresses. More as in scoring all his team’s points in the fourth and OT against the Pistons last year, unless of course he gets help today, the last day of the trading deadline, which is very unlikely.

This brings another hot topic in the NBA, the reshaping of the Western Conference. I mean, GM’s of West top teams have made more huge trades in a week than Isiah has made in 4 years. I thought that was not possible. And there just has to be one more huge deal made today. It’s just a hunch, but it just has to happen. There still are quite a few teams feeling left out of the madness. My guess is Artest to Nuggets, but who knows. Vince Carter, Zach Randolph, Andre Miller, Eddy Curry, the list goes on and on.

That was all folks. At least my comeback lasted longer than the ones of Aaron McKie and Keith Van Horn. My last words for today: Tan tanaaaa tanananaa:
