[espn]Kenny Smith organizing hurricane relief all-star game

What then? A Neanderthal?

 

man that was fun to watch. t-mac is unbelievable, i think you can throw a pair of sneakers on him 24/7/365 and he'd be in mid-season form.

mike james looked good. he ball-hogged early on but in the second half he was the passer on a number of alley-oops. for all the criticism he gets, he's going to bring it next season.

it was nice to see DA in a uniform. he wasn't even pretending to try out there so i don't see the point in bashing him.

who posted that artest looked fat? that dude is a muscle machine.

 

macfan's post was right on
tracy is as good as it gets
he feels so at home on the court
that he has to hold back
or he will make everyone else seem
small

we have a jordan

just wait

 

JVG: "Damn, I'm gonna miss this bike..."

 

me too - you got me in the one with kanye west on the jumbo tron. in the background next to my son - he has on a plaid cowboy shirt.

that was an awsome experience! truly worth every penny - $25 and i sat on second row!

 

Dam did anyone of yall see J.R Smith doing the behind the back dunk in the pregame? It was crazy.

 

Went to the game, sat close to ClutchCity since Mike James came up close to me too.

Quick prediction. Nobody will ever get as much bang for their buck as the fans who went to that game, I know I won't.

 

The game was well done and quite enjoyable.

- The Kobe alley-oop to McGrady was plain nasty.

- J.R. Smith had an assortment of nice dunks.

- The McGrady-Arenas long distance shooting at the end of the game was amazing.

- The McGrady move where he tossed the ball off the backboard to himself for a reverse layin (no jam) was nice.

- The Globetrotters circle was fun to watch.

- Francis was surprisingly good jumping double dutch. Of course, he's always been more comfortable when he could just do his thing and not have to worry about getting anyone else involved.

- The Rubber Man contortionist guy was freakish and entertaining. The look of disbelief and disgust on the faces of several of the players (Joe Johnson in particular) was just as funny. Van Gundy and his daughter were sitting in the row behind me and he just lost it during the Rubber Man's routine. He had both hands covering his mouth and was laughing uncontrollably. Right after half time, Van Gundy's wife joined them and as soon as she sat down, the first thing he did was tell her about the Rubber Man.

- Artest was out shooting 45 minutes before the game. He shoots the 3 much better than I expected.

- Joe Johnson and J.R. Smith both wearing bright yellow uniforms and guarding each other was a bit distracting.

- Until you see Lebron James in person, you don't fully appreciate just how big of a guy that he is.

 

The game was awesome beyond words ... I know i won't have a chance in hell of going to the real allstar game, but this was just as good, if not better.

My kid had a smile on his face the whole time ... Didn't know who to watch cause there were so many paople there.

Tmac with the sick crossover on Franchise then the off the backboard reverse dunk ... Fraking insane

All the dunks during the warmups ... JR Smith, James, Melo

The players just acting like regular peeps ... Carrying the kids during the jersey jog thing, getting freaked out at the freaky rubber guy ... Throwing stuff in the crowd ... Jumping rope, singing with Kanye ...

Just a memorable event .. .And all for a great cause

 

The game was very fun and T-Mac took charge. I sat next to Kerry Kittles he made it sound like he might not play this year for anyone. What was up with Tyronne Lue wearing a Pistons uniform, guess he could not find his new Hawks uni. A few other cool points were the contortionist and Kayne "Racist" West singing alittle bit of his hit song. All and all it was a very cool.

 

I sat right behind the bench too but on the first row NOT floor. Amarosa, Wesley, Jon Barry, and Patrick Ewing sat infront of me

 

According to NBA.com, he's only 5 lbs. lighter than Amare Stoudemire.

 

That's hilarious. They took that photo right in front of me. That SUV was directly in front of me when I was dropping off stuff last Tuesday. I saw the power dancer walk up to the car and the photographer shoot that shot and take off.

Funny.

 

I had a great time at the game. The highlight was the T-mac long distance shoot out. Seeing Kanye West walk right in front of me and them perform for a bit was cool as well. T-Mac's facial react to "Rubber Boy" was priceless. I have some pics I will post when I get home from work today. A great time had by all, and the money went to a good cause. 25 bucks to be in the 3rd row of the lower bowl to see that kind of action was incredible. Makes me wonder even more why people who have those tix don't show up in the regular season.
