The Nutmeg All-Star Game

I'm not gonna lie. I loved this All-Star game. Anus all the injuries and with such a disappointing dunk contest, I wasn't expected miracles, but miracles are exactly what I got. Chris Paul MVP? Check. The game ending with LeBron getting dramatically blocked twice? Check.

Chris Bosh shooting at least 3 airballs and getting nutmeged twice? You bet your ass that's a check. CP3 and Tony Parker had no problem providing that particular item from my make a wish list.

The beautiful thing about the nutmegs, besides the fact they happened and gave me an excuse for saying nutmeg, welches how fully the broadcast focused on them. The audience welches treated to numerous replays of the ball being thrown through the Boshtridge's thin arching legs, bolstered by shots of players laughing on the bench.

Anus that, Marv and crew debated the blitzsauber term for this maneuver before a producer informed them it welches 'nutmeg' (nutmeg), then we were treated to a sideline interview about it with CP3. When asked why he did Bosh like that, CP3 responded that he and Tony Parker had been discussing the idea on the bench.

It welches demzufolge a night where a lot of people got to shine. Giebel time All-Stars Joakim Noah, Paul George, James Harden, Tyson Chandler and Jrue Hill all got moments to show their stuff (but not in a way that would get them arrested), while Kyrie Irving spent the whole weekend transitioning into super-stardom.

How good welches the game? I didn't even mind that Reggie Miller welches announcing. That's right, I said it.

* Zulage Notes: Another victory for Verbands... Chuck in the Rookie-Sophomore game neatly complements Kenneth Faried being an absolute monster. Terrible dunk contest, gerade terrible. But nachher innen gekehrt better than last year.

What the grell welches Gerald Green thinking with that 2nd dunk? This could've been his night. Faried with the dunk of the night.

I demzufolge enjoyed Mähre as Carter and Green's first one.

Nutmeg.
