Media Meditation #2 Superstars to Allstars, Bieber to Griffin?

Celebs, Allstars, High-flyers, and popstars

The 2011 NBA AllStar weekend kick off on Friday starting off with the NBA Celebrity Game.

Who knew that Justin Bieber could play basketball? I don't even think he knew! But he still needs to work on that jump shot. However the fans somehow decided to choose him as the MVP of the night! The Celebrity game was interesting but not completely entertaining! They are mostly actors, make it funny if you cant play! Haha but overall it was..interesting..

The Dunk contest was the best in many years. Here is a slow motion dunk from Demar Derozan,

Slow Motion air up there

Here we got one guy, two 10 foot hoops, two balls, one jump, and 2 dunks... Now this dunk may not have been perfect, but damn he deserved a perfect score for creativity, difficulty and presentation!

Incredible 2 dunk 1 jump

This guy is getting a lot of looks, being a rookie and everything...after this dunk his arm was all black and blue, having many blood vessels popped!!

Blake Griffin puts his arm through the rim

The dunk that got most of the hype was that of Blake Griffin's, check it out!

Other than the the actually playing of basketball there was a pretty good performance during halftime.
Rihanna, Drake, and Kanye West, put on an awesome performance, check it out!

Over all the All Star weekend was pretty fun to watch. There was a rookie challenge, skills competition, celebrity game, dunk contest, 3 point competition, and the actual All Star Game. Quickly I wanna chat about on particular play in this game. Kobe Bryant and Lebron James are arguably the two best players in the NBA. There has been much talk about both of them being the next "Michael Jordan", or who's better than who. They both always go at each other when they can. The following video shows both players, Lebron James tries to block Kobe as he goes to the hoop.
Kobe flushes it!

Thanks for checking out my bog!

    1. "Kobe flushes it," indeed, Evan!

      A nice blog meditation on the importance of the slam dunk, baby.

      Excellent use of our power tools.

      You are on your way!

      Go Biebs,
