NBA All Star Game 2014 Do the right thing

Also this year, the All Star Weekend has delivered excitement, more or less strong depending on the tastes and the country of origin of the spectators. For us Italians Marco Belinelli 's victory in the three points shootout was undoubtedly the high point of the festival. The boy from San Giovanni in Persiceto has lined up all the greatest shooters in the league, showing off even special shoes with the initials of his country of origin. Taking a step back instead to do a little criticism to the game of "young" , which took place this year in mixed teams rookie and sophomore , not able to attract an audience worthy.

Much grist for even the fashion hunters. The twins swag Durant and Harden gave the show as usual. The sublime gray suit Durant, even blinding shirt Barba, who finished right in the gallery of the pearls of the year. Not bad King James, more sober appeared the new star of Indiana Paul George . After criticizing the jersey sleeves, we have chosen instead to praise the jacket from the NBA in the presentation of the players. Classical model collage , decorated with patches depicting the achievements of each player.


As usual the sneakers have done their part. Substantial (in the sense that you could see far too) those in yellow polka dots on a blue Wade and Purple Voodoo Steph Curry. Promoted the Jordan CP3 and the new adidas by John Wall and Noah. Superlative of the usual 11 and the Nike LeBron worn by Kirey Irving, who was elected, among other things, MVP of the game.

Obviously, there was the the technician show. John Wall, despite a Slam Dunk Contest downright ugly (especially because of the senseless format) , has put together what has been definta by Dr. J himself one of the best dunks ever. Not bad at all.


It was pointed out also McLemore, or better to say "Shaq-Lemore" accompanied and crowned (physically ) by Shaquille O'Neal, after the jump of the throne. Shaq was once again the protagonist, even as commentator, dub dance in 2007.

Good, very good also the Sunday game, finished with a record of points and the usual gallery of spectacular play, of which this Steph “Baby Killer ” Curry is perhaps the best.

Special mention to Damian "Damian" Lillard between Friday and Sunday took part in all the performance possible, however, closing with a meager two fifths of wins.

It' been a year provided in terms of the active presence of VIPs ,from a not exactly exciting performances of Snoop Dogg on Thursday during the game of VIPs, to the assistance of Drake for the dunk of Terrence Ross, and the cheer of Nelly for his classmates Beal during the play-off against our Mark.

But we can not go around it, the real event of the three days of the sport, it was something extra- sporty. The performance of Pharrell (and his hat) was one of those things that remain in the sport entertainment for so long, about twenty minutes handled in a masterly manner , gathering many friends already present by Nelly and Snoop, Diddy, Busta Rhymes and Chad Hugo, reinterpreting all of his greatest hits, "happy" range ( and you thought ) .

We can only applaud once again the NBA , and begin to wait for the arrival of the Finals.
