Saw this dunk in person at the 2011 All-Star game. The crowd went nuts. 

DeMar DeRozan tweets a glimpse of what he’ll try at the dunk contest.

Hope the Raptors have a good insurance policy.

Ray Allen is in the 3-point contest as reported by CelticsBlog.com

In fact, Ray was asked a week ago and he agreed to participate in the shootout. No news yet on if his teammate, Paul Pierce, will be asked to join as well. Pierce won the contest last season then went on to proclaim that he was the greatest shooter, ever. 

Paul wants back in this year and wants to face Ray head to head in the contest. Here is what Ray thought when asked if he’s up to the challenge:

” What do you mean am I up for the challenge?” Ray asked smiling. “Im up for any challenge. I’m always up for a challenge. When would you think I’d ever back down from shooting? Never.”

If Pierce gets in the shootout as well and Rondo finds himself in the Skill Competition they should rename this weekend to the Boston Celtics All-Team Exhibition.

Say What? Kevin Love is in the All-Star game? Free at last, FREE AT LAST!

@Suga_Shane

Kevin Love was snubbed from the All-Star game tonight. It looks like the Numb#rs champaign didn’t work, neither did the gobs of stats on the court or that insane 30/30 night.

There is still a chance that Overlord Stern steps up and plugs Love in for the injured Yao Ming but from all the reports I am hearing, that spot is reserved for the immortal Steve Nash.

This can only mean one thing, the #FreeKevinLove Movement is once again fully operational.
