Anyone watching the Celebrity All Star Game?

that off the backboard alley-oop from T.O. was sick!

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 9:14 pm

I must confess that I enjoy Rudy's sub-Balki Bartokomus English language skills. He's like a Spanish foreign exchange student that happens to be a really talented basketball player.

Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 9:20 pm

I pick

Rooks for the win. Durant for MVP when he goes for 40.

OJ Mayo wins HORSE

Devin Harris wins SKILLS

Danny Granger wins 3pt shoot out

Want to pick JR but Dwight Howard will win.

Yes, unfortunately.

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 10:05 pm

Oden isn't playing because of injury? This dude got injured again?

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 10:22 pm

LeBron is doing a good job.

thomasv · Post by **thomasv** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 11:09 pm

Westbrook is doing really good! The Sophmores had some great dunks! Looking forward to the 2nd half.

Dunnnnleavy · Post by **Dunnnnleavy** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 11:11 pm

painfully gay half-time show.

Dunnnnleavy · Post by **Dunnnnleavy** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 11:23 pm

Rudy Fernandez has a crooked mouth or some shit, looks like he's trying not to laugh at a joke someone told him.

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 11:27 pm

Beasley is taking way too many shots. BE EASY.

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 11:39 pm

Durant shoots the 3 so easy it's scary.

The Kapono Crime family will NOT lose in the 3 point shootout...

The HORSE competition was renamed the GEICO competition. True stories.

PEACE

whiteboy alexander touched the rim with his nose

he should've been in it

vince needs to reclaim his title

Dunnnnleavy · Post by **Dunnnnleavy** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 7:13 pm

is it me or is this HORSE challenge getting dangerously more awkward with every missed jumpshot?

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 7:36 pm

I know this is the 1st time doing this, but they need to go with guys that are more trash-talkers in this event. Paul Pierce would have been great for this.

Prophecy · Post by **Prophecy** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 9:14 pm

Geico was terrible

Next year they should do it with a mix of veterans and retired players. Guys that will try ridiculous shots and will talk a little trash.

eternalreflection · Post by **eternalreflection** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 10:11 pm

is it too much to ask for 4guys that are actually going to try their hardest in the skills competition?

its 30secs, you can go all out lol

Money Gripp · Post by **Money Gripp** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 10:18 pm

I predicted a skinny, light-skinned guard would win the Skills Competition.
