First off, your NBA All-Star Starters!
EASTERN CONFERENCE: Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade.
WESTERN CONFERENCE: Tim Duncan, Amar'e Stoudemire, Yao Ming, Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant.
I would put Devin Harris instead of A.I. And the Amar'e selection is a bit debatable (maybe Dirk or Carmelo?). I hate All-Star fan voting.
All right. So it's Friday. Time for a few assists.
FEATURED BLOG OF THE WEEK: Ben's Suns Blog
Yes, it's one of the best fan blogs around. Ben York is a die-hard Phoenix Suns fan. At the same time, he manages to stay extremely objective. Ben puts out different videos that is based on how he feels whether the Suns win or lose. He's extremely passionate but also realistic. I wish we had more REAL fans like Ben.
So check that blog out. Ben's Suns Blog is a great one.
And the Links of the Week.
*The Inauguration of the TrueHoop Network: Henry from TrueHoop has formed a network of excellent basketball blogs to provide great news from around the league. Congratulations to all the blogs that are included in this network.
*A Word of Thanks to the Sacramento Bee: Ziller from Sactown Royalty commends the Sacramento Bee for sticking with the Sacramento Kings through thick and thin.
*Will Any Paper be Covering the Clippers by the End of the Season?: In OUR town, ClipperSteve from Clips Nation is wondering if the Clippers would be covered at all by any of the L.A. papers by the end of the year. Poor Clips.
*The Blueprint For Beating the Lakers: Kurt from Forum Blue and Gold provides ways on how to beat L.A.'s beloved Lakers in a seven-game series.
*The NBA's Midseason Report Card - Hot Or Not Style: Cuzzy from Cuzoogle hilariously compares NBA teams at the midpoint to women. Poor Warrior fans.
*The Fix Is In: Ticktock6 from Hornets Hype is GLAD (like the rest of us) that Chris Paul is a starter for the All-Star game. But how in the hell did he get more than a million votes over the last two weeks?!
*New All-Star Uniforms Unveiled: I saw the unis first from Stu from NBA Noise. So what does he think of 'em?
*Panic Button: Banged Up Cavs Show That They Need Help -- Fast -- After 105-88 Loss At L.A.: Amar from Cavalier Attitude is panicking after Cleveland lost against the almighty Lakers? Really? Well, he explains why he thinks the Cavs need something fast.
*Video: Designed Double Alley-Oop: J.E. Skeets from Ball Don't Lie provides this clip. It ain't NBA but it's a nice well-designed play that we only normally see in the NBA Jam series.
And finally...
*Megan Fox As Lara Croft?: Matt from Sharapova's Thigh provides a rumor that Megan Fox might replace the equally hot Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in an upcoming Tomb Raider movie.
Yeah, I know it's not basketball but I just wanted an excuse to put Megan Fox in this blog.
Have a great weekend!
