I thought they cancelled that 3-on-3 Shooting Stars thing because of how incredibly stupid and boring it is.
Is The HORSE contest live? My friend was saying it wasn't and was going to be cut for TV.
Any confirmation on that?
For those interested I will be a live blog at

You mentioned Jameer Nelson in the skills competition. He is out.
Foot Locker Three-Point Shootout: Which participant can work around the titty the best.
I've been watching the sat. night skills comp for a few hours and I'm ready to turn it off....the announcers are SO negative. So bad in fact that I decided to Google who they are and this site ranked tops. MAN, Brutal discussions filled with pessimism and "I told you so" discourse.
Sorry, I really needed to vent,
thanks.
Aaron Afflalo was the best that they could do in the 3-on-3 game? Really?
