i'm at a friend's house, and he is a HUGE NBA fan ... i know. i don't understand it either.
<div></div>
<div>at any rate, he insisted we watch the All-Star gala tonight, and while the dunk contest was pretty cool with a display of impressive dunking ability (albeit disappointingly void of White high risers), the 3-point shootout was the absolute worst display of professional basketball shooting i can remember ever watching. in both cases, i repeatedly pointed it out to grudging acknowledgement.</div>
<div></div>
<div>the 6 participants didn't include a single White player, and as such it didn't include anywhere near the best shooters available. in fact, two of the six "great shooters" were embarassingly bad.Daniel Gibsonhit for a "stellar"7 points ... of a possible 30, i might add. fellow participant Kevin Duran managed to "perform" even more poorly. he hit for an "impressive" 6 points. also in the first round, Dorell Wright (11)and Paul Pierce (12) barely managed to crack double digits, although Pierce managed to "advance" to the finals with the so-called effort. </div>
<div></div>
<div>of the six "shooters" only Ray Allen and eventual champ James Jones managed to hit a respectable number of shots. Allen hit for 20 points in the first round, and Jones for 20 in the finals.</div>
<div></div>
<div>theabysmal all-black "shooting" display makes you understand why they didn't invite a single White athlete ... lest he be the certain winner.i'm sure it's a coincidence that NBA commissioner David Stern (a jew)doesn't want Kyle Korver, Jason Kapono, Dirk, hell the list could go on and on, to once again be the face of the new Negro League's top shooter. do you think?
