    Regarding the events that have led up to the All-Star game, in your opinion, has All-Star weekend helped or hurt the chances of a potential superstar signing with Houston?

    I ask this because from a TV viewers perspective, the whole thing has been kind of a disappointment.

    Money and Winning is what superstars care about. And besides Toyota center is alot more rowdy during reg. season games.

    It has no effect on whether a superstar will sign with Houston. C'mon now

    Maybe if Harden gets MVP tomorrow, we can say there was somewhat of a positive effect.

    People are really getting down on this all star game for no reason. Only basing it off of crowds at overpriced events. And even then, the crowds filled in.

    I don't really think attracting a superstar has much to do with what the average TV viewer's experience was like.

    Wouldn't the hospitality of the city: nightlife, convenience, people, weather, etc. - and interaction with Rox staff & players play a much bigger role?

    This.

    If Harden does really well, positive effect.

    If Harden doesn't do much, neutral effect.

    Only way it turns positive is if guys have a positive experience off court interacting with members of the community.

    This exactly. The quality/quantity of the scrip clubs and groupie hoes is FAR more important than anything else.
