NBA All-Star 2012 Weekend

This was a fun weekend that ended on Sunday, February 26. I enjoyed the All-Star game between the West All-Stars and the East All-Stars. In the end, Kevin Durant was the game MVP because he had the most points, 36 in total. He also had 8 rebounds. Kobe Bryant surpassed Michael Jordan as the second-leading NBA All-star in scoring. I think Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is first. I'm not sure. Nothing much stood out about the Slam Dunk contest. It was a dud. I think the Slam Dunk contest is dead. Kyrie Irving ruled the Rookie Challenge, with his 8-for-8 three-pointers from long range. Kevin Love beat out Kevin Durant for the Three-Point Shooting Contest. That was pretty close. I thought Durant was going to get it. Looking forward to the winding down of the NBA season now. Hoping to see if the Miami Heat really do have a chance to get better and win the NBA title, after last year's chance failed at the hands of the eventual NBA champs, Dallas Mavericks. I hope to like to see the Oklahoma City Thunder get a chance to compete in the NBA Finals. That would be a treat for Durant and Russell Westbrook to learn. It will be a valuable learning experience for them.
