This is one of the hottest events that are hosted by NBA annually. This event composes of many events such as: 3-point contest, skills challenge, all-star game, and the dunk contest. These challenges can be very entertaining but sometimes become the most boring game ever. For example, last year's dunk contest was solemn because there was no intense competition. Nate Robinson of the New York Knicks, currently in Boston Celtics, took over the dunk contest without any intensity. Chris Anderson of the Denver Nuggets had numerous dunk attempts for a dunk that was improbable for his athletic abilities.
HOWEVER, I think something is going to happen in the dunk contest this year. Blake Griffin and Ibaka are going to my two finalists. They both have the physical standards and the athletic ability to achieve a dunk that is probably never tried before. Both of those players were assigned with dunking coaches who are Kenny and Kevin Durant. They are both going to be very helpful for them because themselves are well-known for being excellent dunkers.
Not only the All-star game, I'm looking forward to the Lakers and Heat game. The first time those two teams met were just lame. That game didn't have any competition. It was the Heat taking over the game easily. I hope to have some anticipation and nail-biting moments because the last game was a waste of time for me when I waited until midnight to watch that game.
I also learned a very interesting fact today. As the All-star games are starting to be organized, they have to pick the members for the team. And I realized that Kobe Bryant was selected for the All-star team for the 13th year. This is an amazing experience for any player. Congratulations to him as well.
Oh, by the way, I'm creating a new corner of my blog called "Michael's Talk-time"; this corner is going to be presented every month, probably at the end for anticipation!
Michael's Talk-Time
Today, I want to talk about some basketball shoes. These days, my interests in basketball shoes have increased too much. I'm saving all my allowances and change just to buy a new shoe. These are the two shoes that I'm mainly interested in.
This is the Nike Zoom KD product. It's very new and it's a shoe for Kevin Durant for the All-star games.
This is Nike's product, Nike Hyper Dunk. The picture's shoe's color is completely designed by myself. I am looking forward to ordering this shoe.
Anyway, Thank you and see you next month!
