It was a great all star weekend, the highlight being the Dick Bavetta and Charles Barkley foot race. The actual game on Sunday night could have been more competitive. What I thought was interesting was Kobe’s pre-game’s comments that his back was a little stiff. I saw him walking around gingerly in his warm ups, and low and behold he scores 30 points and takes the MVP trophy.

ESPN: Page 2 : Welcome to the hip-hop Woodstock
After four nights of what will eventually be remembered as the Hip-Hop Woodstock, the atrociously sloppy NBA All-Star Game made complete sense.What a strange weekend. There was gambling and partying and Vegas and basketball — four of my favorite things — with a fashion convention and Chinese New Year happening as well, which meant Vegas was throwing three blockbuster weekends at once. There were so many big-time celebrities in town, a rumored Michael Jackson cameo came and went without a single shrug. So many parties happened that it was impossible to keep track of everything.
