Honestly, this was probably the worst NBA All-Star game I've watched. Not the game, per say, but the weekend festivities in general. Dunk Contest...LAME. 3 Point Contest...LAME. Skills Competiton...LAME.

| Jeremy Evans, Derrick Williams, Paul George, Chase Budinger |
Jeremy Evans won this years Slam Dunk Contest. Quick...can you name the team that he plays for? Me neither. I'd never even heard of him before this weekend. The dude can obviously fly, but he's buried on the Utah Jazz' depth chart. Evans is averaging a "solid" 1.7 Points, 0.9 Rebounds, 0.4 Assists.
What happened to fans getting to see the best in the world? Where are likes of Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook, Derrick Rose, Lebron James, Dwight Howard? This is who the fans pay to see. Not Woody Harrelson from White Men Can't Jump, aka Chase Budinger.
Kevin Love, a 6-10 Power Forward/Center, won this years 3 Point Shootout. If I'm this guy's coach, I IMMEDIATELY encourage him to remember what he's paid to do. And that is to rebound, block shots & get his ass down on the block on offense (with an occasional 3 pointer).
All-Time Top Ten NBA Dunkers

Personal Favorite Play of the Game: Dwayne Wade breaks Kobe Bryant's nose as goes up for a shot!
