CP3 toying with LeBron James
The moment Derrick Rose realized he’s different from the others.
East starters awkward dance intro was priceless.
Derrick Williams
this year’s dunk contest was awful.
that said, I have a soft spot for Derrick Williams in spite of his lackluster (almost invisible?) NBA performance thus far. He needs to regain some of that college mojo and be in a team that’s not the Timberwolves. Man needs to get out of K. Love’s shadow!
late night points
- it’s All Star Weekend! It would have been more entertaining if Iman Shumpert hadn’t gotten injured (he was planning to dunk over Jeremy Lin’s fucking couch!). Still, I’m super excited. All Star Weekend, pointless as it may be, is one of the few things the NBA pulls off well.
- Speaking of, it’s February 25. As in, 4 more days until March (leap year!!). So how about March Madness? I don’t claim to know much about college basketball, but Pac-12 basketball is kind of a joke this year. “Conference of Champions” my ass, the league has sank to an all new low. Look at UCLA! Basketball powerhouse, ha! THAT SAID, (and this is very important), California has been phenomenal this season, and the fact that Cal is in a weak conference shouldn’t be enough reason to dismiss all that the team has accomplished these past couple of months. Cal is first in the Pac-12, and I know I will forever hate myself for not having bought season tickets. I don’t know if I want to take the time to delve into bracketology this year - but even if I did, how could I possibly remain neutral? How could I have the heart to kick California out at any point in the tournament? Go Bears!
- I ditched three classes today (essentially, the only class I went to was the one I had a midterm for). This is bad because I’m missing class for Davis next week, too. I’m not doing well enough in any of those subjects to entitle myself to reckless ditching…. but it’s been a long week. It’s ok. I forgive myself.
- For the record, I didn’t go see Nosaj Thing tonight (15 minute walk? too far…), so I’ve forsaken all hipster bragging rights (should he become famous one day). BUT.. we ended up having a 3-hour late night rap/jam session, which was infinitely more fun. So it’s all good.
- One word: Yo!
it’s 3:18 am, good night.
Things Blake Griffin Should Have Jumped Over Instead of a Car: Part 3
Stack of giant pancakes.
Well, there’s always next year.
“You thought I wouldn’t get MVP, in LA? Hahaa, you so crazy!”
All Star MVP x4. Only fitting way to close out All Star Weekend.
Kobe goes all #GotEmCoach on LeBron.
James with a tactical error. Kobe makes him pay, then feeds off the energy to stick a 3-pointer for good measure.

I believe Sir James got served.
Nice try. Still got a ways to go, buddy.

And the Melodrama drags on, even through All Star Weekend… Wouldn’t mind Melo in a Knick jersey though.
Kobe vs. Ray:
The one point where you’ll see guys playing defense in the All-Star Game. Just kidding, even this is just for show.

Can we just give Kobe All Star MVP now and be done with it? Black Mamba be killing it on the court right now.
Absolute powder corrupts absolutely.

East getting their powder on.
This picture is pretty filthy. Congrats, Quake Griffin.

Blake only jumped over a Kia Optima and caught Baron’s assist from the sunroof before slamming the ball home. While a gospel choir sang “I Believe I Can Fly” in the backcourt. Is it any surprise that he won?
Hopefully this should dispel any Internet rumors that Clippers guard Eric Gordon is the same “Eric Gordon” who played Michael Jordan’s son in Space Jam. It’s a good thing he can ball, because man oh man, kid can’t act..
Can’t wait till his wrist heals and he goes back to beastin out on the court!!
