A couple of quick things from this past NBA All Star weekend. And introducing each day, Ahmad Rashad! from NBA Inside Stuff.

REEEEE-WIIIND

FRI-daaaay!

I caught Charles Barkely on Pardon The Interuption and when asked about whether the All Star Game should adopt a USA vs The World format, he said, "I think it's a great idea. There's enough European players. You got Steve Nash, Dirk, Yao Ming. So many great European players."


SaturDAAAY!

There was a Raptors game a couple of months ago where Lebron James was having an off-day and not playing very well. Then, for some reason, he got really angry and took over the game. Every time he'd hit a shot in the 4th quarter (where he had like 22 points) he'd stare down the Raptors bench. Chuck Swirsky said "I think someone has been trash talking Lebron". This move single handedly lost us the game. This weekend it came out that it wasn't a player chirping, but Chris Bosh's girlfriend, sitting in the third row, who was trash talking James. Listen lady, unless you feel like getting out there and playing some Gary Payton defence on the guy, you should keep your mouth shut. "Hey Lebron! Hey! You're a big piece of garbage! Hey! Idiot! Oh. You're gonna start dominating this game? Doesn't matter, you're pure trash! Oh. You're gonna win the game? Oh. Well I'm just gonna sit here in the 3rd row then, and, read the program. Oh look, Kris Humphries is listed as 6'7''. Sorry guys. We didn't need to win that game though, right?"

Oh, and Jamario Moon, you can't put a piece of tape above the free throw line, then miss by that much. You might as well put the tape at mid-court and go in for a finger roll.

SUNDAY!

The best 13 minute rendition of Oh Canada ever. There's 1 Canadian player, and 1 player from a Canadian team. Let's try to keep the anthem under 90 seconds.

The colour on the back of the East uniform was the same colour as the front of the West uniform, so that when the West was on offence, you couldn't tell who was on which team. Pass it to a guy in white! All 10 of them are open!
