NBA All-Star Weekend

If I were a rich, connected person, there's no place I'd rather have been last weekend than Vegas. All the NBA players were there for All-Star Weekend. I can only imagine how awesome the parties were. Even could have hung out with lookindeep's coolest person in the world, Jay-Z. For me, the highlight was the Charles Barkley - Dick Bavetta race. Sir Charles, having the big mouth that he does, always ragged on Bavetta the referee. Bavetta, who runs 5 miles/day, came out and challenged Barkley to a race. I'll admit, I thought that Bavetta would win, because Barkley isn't exactly a young man and looks like he is 6'4", 325lbs. In the end, Barkley crushed the old guy, running the last leg of the race backwards. The extra special moment was the post-race interview where Barkley and Bavetta actually kissed. Was that some kind of response to Tim Hardaway.

As I'll do frequently, here's a cool YouTube clip. This one is a dance off featuring King James, Dwight Howard, and the Diesel. Shaq has got to be the coolest player in the NBA



P.S. Yay for global warming in Lawrence.
