What else do we have to look forward to outside of this wonderful Presidents’ Day Weekend which offers up 3 days of rest and relaxation? Why it’s also the NBA ALL STAR weekend!
V-Day is over and the men can now cozy up to the sound of screeching sneakers as they watch the very best of the Leagues’ East and West Coast players battle it out in the yearly rivalry. The action will begin today…Feb 15th with the Rising Stars Challenge to start things off, the Hall of Fame announcement and the ALL-Star Celebrity Game later on tonight. Saturday’s action on Feb. 16 will feature four events that make up a large-scale competition between players from each conference including the Sears Shooting Stars, the Skills Challenge, the Three Point Contest and one of the most anticipated weekend event…the Slam Dunk Contest. If you think this weekend is just about showing the athletic prowess of the Leagues’ best…think again! These events are actually for a good cause…with the winning conference taking home money for a pre-determined charity. Sunday Feb 17th is the only day outside of the super bowl that you will not be able to get his eyes off the screen as the NBA All-Star Game kicks off at 8PM(ET) capping off the weekend with lots and lots of celebrity parties sprinkled in between. Will you be watching?
