NBA All-Star Weekend

Who Cares that the Eastern All-Stars beat the Western All-Stars 122-120 today. 5 foot 8 Nate Robinson is still soaring high after winning the slam dunk competition in fashion yesterday. Just ask former slam dunk winner Spud Webb.

Robinson's Slam was the prettiest thing seen at the NBA All-Star weekend activities. Well, maybe Eva Longoria had me with my jaw dropped there for a minute, but Robinson definitely brought down the house with his performance. For another small guy to win the slam dunk competition shows that the game is still about heart.

Okay Nate, you are clear to come down to earth now. All-Star weekend is over in Houston. Mission Accomplished.
