Rookies vs. Sophomores Game
Maybe the best rookie-sophomore game ever. Kevin Durant showed us that he should have been selected to play in the big game on Sunday. Durant was clearly superior to everyone else on the court. For a while it looked like the rooks were going to pull it out, but in the end the sophs pulled this one out.
H-O-R-S-E
This event was okay. I was expected a lot out of this event, but not much came out of it. Johnson, Mayo, and Durant all hit some nice shots, but at the end of the hour I was a little bored. Maybe next year instead of a playing HORSE, they should have a big game of knock out (like 15 people). That would be cool.
Haier Shooting Stars
Why is this even an event?
Skills Challenge
I think that the players in this event were a little too nonchalant. Derrick Rose's dunk at the end was exciting, but that was it. I would have liked the players to have taken this event a little more seriously though.
Three Point Contest
Daquan Cook? Really? This is always one of my favorite events of the weekend. The scores were a little bit low, but I enjoyed the playoff between Cook an Lewis in the end. Too bad Lewis only got 7, so there wasn't really any suspense.
Slam Dunk Contest
The right man won. Here is how I would have rated each dunk.
J.R. Smith
43, 43
Rudy Fernandez
42, 45 (If he got it earlier I would have given it a 50)
Dwight Howard
47, 48, 50, 43
Nate Robinson
45, 45, 45, 50
That last dunk was crazy. Imagine trying to dunk over a 7-footer.
