The revelation Jason Richardson

Nonglad to be elected MVP of Rookie Challenge with 26 pts and the monstrous dunks, Jason Richardson also dominated Slam Dunk Contest!

Under-médiatisé in Golden State, the former player of Michigan State is the great revelation of this Week-End All-Star. Equipped with exceptional physical qualities and a good external shot, he is the worthy successor of Domenica Wilkins.

As one expected it Rookie Challenge was a contest of smash before the hour. With Darius Miles, Jason Richardson, Quentin Richardson or Desmond Mason who address as tu the clouds with each action, one were not bored only one second. More especially as Rookies made nique it with their elder while being essential 103-97.

Benefitting from the caviars of Jamaal Tinsley (10 pds) and of Tony Parker (6 pts, 8 pds and 3 ints), Jason Richardson (26 pts, 11/18 with the shootings) is the leader of the team of the rookies. Skilful by far, the winger of Warriors ignited the public with dunks as creative as powerful. It is thus extremely logically that it received the trophy of MVP.

On the side of Sophomores, much less concentrated in defense, the show came from the two Clippers, Quentin Richardson (22 pts, 9 rbds) and Darius Miles (20 pts). After Rookie Challenge, it was with the turn of the kings of the shootings at 3 points to highlight itself with the traditional Shootout Three-Point.
And it is without surprised Peja Stojakovic (Kings) which is essential. Finally, the Yougoslave winger needed a " prolongation " [ ] to beat Wesley Person (Cavs).

One will pass quickly on Hoop-It-Up. A contest of 4x4 with teams made up of a star NBA, a player WNBA, an old glory and a person of the show-bizz. In short... of anything!

For the small history, Kings are essential vis-a-vis on Sixers finally.

Lastly, for the dessert, one was entitled to Slam Dunk Contest as confused as of poor quality! Once again the NBA had changed the rules. This time, in addition to their creation, the participants (they were only four...) were to reproduce smashes of high-speed motorboats of the past. For example, with the first turn, Steve Francis (Rockets) had the role of imitating Terence Stansbury. As for Desmond Mason (Sonics), winner the year spent, it was to carry out a smash in Wilkins.

With final, one was entitled to a festival of missed attempts! Per moment, it was even pitiful. Fortunately, most talented among them, Jason Richardson logically dominated the debates and gained its second trophy of the day. While waiting for to follow this evening the Game All-Star, it is high time that the NBA leans on the organization of Saturday when the basketball left room with the folklore and marketing.
