The leading scorer of the NBA Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets was left off the Western Conference All Star reserves today.  Do you think this has anything to do with showing his A$$ in Madison Square Garden a couple of months ago in the melee with the Knicks?  You damn right it does and it makes me very happy because it finally seems the NBA is trying hard to clean up its image and not prop up the players who bring them down.

In a great move by the NBA the city of New Orleans was awarded the 2008 NBA All Star game. It is my personal opinion that more of these moves should be made to bring serious dollars back to a city devastated by Mother Nature. This also indicates that the New Orleans..excuse me Oklahoma City…I mean New Orleans Hornets more than likely will not be leaving the Big Easy. It would be almost unheard of for the NBA to hold an All Star game in a city that isn’t home to a team. Right? Well, they are holding the next one in Las Vegas, but that is just because of the glitz and glamour, right again? I think there is still a lot to be determined here, but nice job David Stern for giving a city in need the All Star Game!
