    Slam Dunk:Andre Iguodala (nasty game dunker, hope it translates well)

    3Pt:Dirk Nowitzki (I hate him, but I think it'd be cool to see a 7 foot guy win the 3pt contest)

    Skill:Steve Nash (best PG on the planet; I think Paul may give him a run for his money, but LBJ and DWade are no slouches; this is the contest I'm most looking forward to actually)

    SStars:Houston (just cause)

    Rookie:Rookies (I think they actually have better players really

    All-Star:West: T-Mac MVP (there's a shocker pick!)

    Rookies have a shot, but money's on Sophs. Chris paul or Howard for MVP

    Will be a really good game! Hoping west wins, but Kobe :rolleyes: will be mvp. If East wins, Wade.

    I talked to a certain local NBA player today who was selling his tickets to the slam dunk contest and the jam session......$5000 for two tickets for both sessions. He's using his Allstar game tics. I guess they must be good seats.

    last year's dunk contest was ridiculous. it seems to get good every few years. people never talk about last year's contest, but they did stuff that i've never even seen before, and that counts for something. dunk contest will be fun. always is.

    smith, nash, richardson all repeat in their respective games. houston wins that dumb 3 on 3 tourney. west wins the all star game.

    How did Jasikevicius get passed up for the 3-point contest for some of those would-be shooters? Terry, Bell, and Billups aren't even close to him. Dude is an ice cold killer from out there. BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Let's all pretend that Shooting Stars isn't real...I refuse to acknowledge the silly kiddy games like that and the skills contest. I'd rather watch 4 players have a game of Double Dare.

    My money's on Nate for the dunk contest. Little man is a freak when he winds up.

    I'll go with the Sophs, and that should be a great game. Lot of good match ups between the PGs and the bigs. I agree that Dwight might go on a rampage.
