The All-star break

The 2007 NBA season is at the half-way stage and has currently made a stopover at the entertainment capital of the world - Las Vegas, for its mid-season classic - The All-Star weekend.

Friday was the Rookie challenge where the Sophs steamrolled the freshmen by a 41 point margin. The hardness in the Sophs' game bears testimony to the embarassment their seniors handed them last year in Houston. Just for the stats - there were 35 dunks in the game.

Yesterday was All-star Saturday and the events lined up were the Shooting stars, Skills challenge, 3-point shootout and the show piece event - the Slam dunk contest where Gerald Green of the Celtics prevailed over defending champ Nate Robinson with 4 spectacular dunks.

And today is the All-Star game and it kicked off an hour ago with a classic comment, "For one night, whats happening in Vegas is shown around the world" :-)
