I remember when I was a kid I couldn't wait for the all star weekend. Watching the dunk contest live like Vince Carter's dunks that one year. Brent "Bones" Barry dunking from the free throw line, Harold "Baby Jordan" Miner was supposibly the next Jordan and so forth.
But now I could really care less about the all star game and the NBA to tell you the truth. My favorite players to watch are all retired Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, James Worthy, Scottie Pippen, Charles Barkley. Back in those days defense was a priority and the games were free to watch on NBC. Fucking cable.
