OPEN THREAD: 2009 NBA All-Star Game

Who knew Nate-Rob would bust out the Krytonite and take down Superman Howard? For the most part All-Star Saturday was a bore, but the Dunk Contest was a good one.

Today it's time for the wannabe's to have a seat and for the real ballas to take the court. East vs West.

question:

what happens if two players on an all star team have the same jersey number?

by amhd388 on Feb 15, 2009 6:50 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

It happened this year

Chauncy Billups and Brandon Roy are both #7

We still believe!!

by R Dizzle on Feb 15, 2009 7:42 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, and Devin Harris and Paul Pierce both wore No. 34 for the Eastern Conference.

they both just wear the same number. which sort of defeats the purpose of even having a number haha.

by gorillas on Feb 15, 2009 10:11 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

maybe

they should just make the jersey have their name but make it bigger

So I don't have a signature well these words would do! Who knew that upgrades can have downgrades too!

Did Anyone Else?

Find Shaq and Kobe going out of their way to be overly friendly towards one another to be be a little bit creepy? It all just seemed so fake. Maybe I’m just over analyzing this.

by 3xdubble on Feb 15, 2009 11:50 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

agree, media played that up way too much

I dont know how they put up with that crap even though Shaq and Kobe know it is part of their job to rep the league.

How many fans could possiby care about that stupid subject?

How many fans could possiby care about that stupid subject?

  Probably the same number that like to watch short guys make contrived dunks over tall guys? I’d rather see howard respond with an elbow to the nuts in that situation.

Now wheres the rubbers? Whose got the rubbers?
I noticed there's so many of them
and there's really not that many of us.
