As the NBA season starts to heat up we take a look back at past All Star games and look at what has changed. Can you predict who will be in the All-Star game this year and which athletic shoes will be featured the most?. The greatest all star events from the professional sports world are the NBA hands down. They really put on a show all weekend long and starts with the celebrity game. This year’s game will feature Lisa Leslie, Harlem Globetrotter players, Clyde “the glide” Drexler, Terrell Owens, Chris Tucker, Rick Fox, and my favorite celebrity Dominique Wilkins. Other celebrities will battle it out on the court with a East .vs. West game of basketball.
The West Team was coached by Magic Johnson and the East Team had Dr. J at the helm for them. After the celebrity game wraps up on ESPN; NBA fans switched over to TNT to watch the Rookies face the Sophomores in the double header action in Phoenix, Arizona. The Rookie Team will feature players like O.J. Mayo from the Grizzlies and Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls where Adidas shoes had the center stage. Kevin Durant will try to lead the Sophomores with Thadeous Young from Philly and Al Horford from the Atlanta Hawks helping him. This might be a good game for Eric Gordon to show off his skills for the Rookie Team, since not much noise has been coming out of L.A. from this promising rookie.
The weekend wraps up on Sunday with the main event. It’s the best basketball players in the East going against the best talent the West has to offer. If you are a true fan and want to get up on the latest gear without shelling out hundreds of dollars you can search for discount athletic shoes online at retailers like shoebacca.com. They even offer a selection of skateboards shoes for those that are into boarding. This is always a great game to watch and I think the East will win on Sunday in Phoenix. The NBA has certainly figured out this All Star thing and the NHL, MLB, or the NFL doesn’t have anything close to the NBA All Star Weekend entertainment. A great opportunity for all basketball fans across the globe to see the best basketball players in the world having fun and competing against each other.
