this was a great all-star weekend. ump. zip. shh. no. this was a great all-star weekend. give me this paragraph to explain, if i still sound saccharine, then click clickedy away. i would list all the amazingness that went on, but clearly that would come well short. so here, just this, imagine if you were six or eight and this was the first all-star weekend you will remember.
was this the greatest ever? well, for those who were eight when dr j was around, no, for those who were eight when jordan was jordan, then that was the one. and when those who are eight today...
they will be telling their eight years olds that they should have seen dr j, jordan, dwight, nate robinson, that lil man, you will not believe this son, but he was 5 foot tall, yes, five foot tall, i don't care if you don't believe me, cause he was and i know it doesn't look like that big a deal on the video, but the cameras back then couldn't capture how small he was. and dwight howard, yes, and dont get me started about centers these days, dwight superman howard, superman had the footwork of an angel, he learned to play the game the right way. no one has seen anything like that before, he did the dr j dunk, THE dr j dunk, he measured it off, no, i know you saw the video and he had a foot ahead, but that misses the point, a seven foot behemoth of a man dunked from the foul line, moved like that, changed the game, all those seven footers you see running those offenses today, that started with dwight howard, you should have seen him when he tried to go one on one with kobe, oooh, kobe put dwight in his place. kobe bryant, eww, now that was a player. kobe bryants dont come around but once a generation. michael jordan, kobe bryant, lebron james, now they were inhuman, unreal competitors. functionally psychopathic competitors, and boy could they play basketball.
