All-Star weekend underway

By Dan Rodgers

I am currently sitting in my living room with the NBA skills competition going on in the background. Steve Nash just won the challenge because Deron Williams choked as hard as I've ever seen. He was on pace to break his own record of 25.5 seconds after he drained the jump shot but then couldn't seem to get the final chest pass through the tire.

A few notes:

• The Rooks beat the Sophs 140-128, first time in seven years
• MVP: Tyreke Evans - 26 points... DeJuan Blair 22 points 23 rebounds
  
• Kevin Durant won the H.O.R.S.E competition
• As said above, Nash won the skills challenge
• Paul Pierce shocks the NBA and wins his first 3 PT. Shooting Contest
  
• Nate Robinson, defended his title and won the dunk contest for the third time...even though it was weak sauce

The all-star game is tomorrow night...there will be an update then...
