Paul Pierce Wins 3 Point Competition

Paul Pierce wins the 3-point shootout thanks to a 20-point final round in which he nailed 5 money balls.

Pierce beat out Stephon Curry (17 pts) and Chauncey Billups (14 pts).

Then he announced he was one of the best shooters in NBA history. A lot of people will think that was a ridiculous statement, however he is a top 50 NBA player, and been a terrific scorer and overlooked shooter in his career.

I guess it is another award he can put in his trophy case.

This is really the only event that didn't make me want to puke. The game itself wasn't so bad but the dunk competition was the worst thing I have ever seen.

NBA All-Star Recap

Well it was like every other All-Star game. 3 and a half quarters of screwing around, then taking the game seriously for the last 6 minutes. The game was really close late in the 4th quarter, however All-Star substitute Ray Allen took over the game and hit a bunch of threes, putting the game out of the West's reach and finished with a game high 28 points. Lebron James also had a pretty ridiculous dunk at the end of the game over three people and won this years MVP, with 27 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists. Rasheed Wallace proved he did not care at all last night by shooting left handed threes all game. The East won 134 to 128.

Reggie Miller Loves Titties

Yes, I know I am immature and he meant something else but I couldn't not laugh like a school girl after Miller said tittie a hundred times. Its bad enough I have to control myself on "Boobie" Gibson.

WTF NBA!

WTF is with this shoot-around crap. They have a NBA Player, a WNBA Player, and a retired player. These "athletes" have to hit from all these different spots on the court. This has to be is one of the worst things to watch. First, I don't want to see WNBA players. They suck, and most of the world wants to pretend that league doesn't exist, and to make it worse they make the commentators/NBA players kiss their ass (I hope the players are at least getting a handjob out of this or something). Next WTF is with these retired players? Hit a fucking shot, the basket height hasn't changed since you played. Oh how this whole thing just makes me upset, at least I have the smooth voice of Lamont Hiebert to calm me down.

Let it Rain

The three-point shootout is tonight. A lot more interesting than the dunk competition, since it actually has stars we want to see (except for some reason Ray Allen isn't involved). Daniel Gibson (MVP from the rookies/sophomores game last night), Dirk Nowitzki (taking over for Kobe), Richard Hamilton (and his stupid fucking facemask), Jason Kapono (last years winner), Steve Nash (shooting 47% from 3 range this year), and Peja Stojakovic. This should be a great match up, but lets break it down. Gibson won't win, because I don't think he is strong enough from this distance and it’s his first time in the event. Dirk and Nash's motion takes too long and this will cause them to have to rush at the end, which will hurt them. Richard Hamilton wears a facemask, so I'm not picking him. So it's down to Peja and last year’s winner Kapono.

Prediction: Peja Stojakovic

Where Have All The Dunkers Gone?

The NBA dunk contest is tonight, but there isn't that same buzz that used to surround the event. Where is the Jordan, Webb, or Wilkins? Instead we have Howard, Green, Gay, and Moon. I don't know about anyone else, but it is hard to get pumped to watch an event where they don't even have the best dunkers. Who are the top dunkers? Who would you pay to watch? Here's a list of 5 players in todays game that I would pay to see.

Vince Carter- When he was in it he may have pulled on the best dunk of all-time.
Kobe Bryant- I hate him, but the guys got ups.
Jason Richardson- Awesome dunker, maybe not the biggest name, but he will light up the event.
LeBron James- I don't think he would win, but he would get the fans so pumped up for the contest.
Kevin Durant- Going to be Rookie of the Year. Kid can jump.

Predicted winner:
It might come as a surprise, but I could see Kevin Durant pulling off an amazing dunk to win it. He has all the tools to be a dunk contest superstar.
