All-Star Stuff

by Dave on Feb 13, 2009 1:06 PM PST

Our network guy from Phoenix, Stan from Bright Side of the Sun, is covering the All-Star festivities today. He has some audio up including quotes from Greg Oden here.

Also the good folks at NBA.com want to remind you that you can affect the outcome of the Slam Dunk contest. Visit the official NBA dunk contest page to participate.

We'll have a rookie-sophomore game thread up tonight.

I’m about to leave the office for the Rookie-Sophomore Game. I can’t wait to see these guys play a game. Hopefully Oden has fun with it, i know Rudy will be his normal laid-back self. Any quality pictures will be posted tomorrow.

and don’t mind spending some time in jail, you can ALWAYS affect the outcome of the Slam Dunk Contest. :)
