NBA All-star weekend is here! East vs. West, Kobe vs. LeBron, Bloods vs. Crips. It's all happening at the Staples Center this weekend. Maybe the biggest story will be the first ever of what is sure to be many all-star appearances for Blake Griffin. In fact, the Big guy without a nickname will dominate every night of All-star weekend.
Tonight, he'll team up with Landry Fields to form a monstrous rebounding force as well as one full black man in the glorified lay-up line that is the T-mobile Rookie-sophomore challenge. Then, tomorrow night Kenny Smith will be helicoptered out of the Staples Center from exhaustion from cheer leading so loudly as Blake will jump from the half-court line or off the scoreboard and win his first Sprite Slam Dunk contest. "It's ovahhhhh".
Finally, Sunday in the big boring game, Blake will show the world his sheer awesomeness. I've lost interest in the game over the years. While not as boring as the Pro Bowl, sporting events with no intensity or defense played get old after about a half hour. Maybe if we're lucky Griffin's presence will result in some ridiculousness like that dunk over Mozgov though.
