This may come as some sort of surprise, but Blake Griffin made the team. I know, I know, let's all take a moment to pick up our eyes that fell from out collective heads.
Alright, so on the Rookie team you have Blake, John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Derrick Favors, Landry Fields, Wesley Johnson, Greg Monroe, and Gary Neal. On the Sophomore team you have former Rookie Of The Year Tyreke Evans, DeJuan Blair, Steph Curry, DeMar DeRozan, Taj Gibson, Jrue Holiday, Serge Ibaka, Brandon Jennings, and Wesley Matthews. If Brandon Jennings can't participate in the Dunk Contest, I doubt he's playing in this game, so does he get replaced, or do the other players just play more minutes?
On another All-Star weekend note, everyone who follows Bill Simmons on Twitter learned earlier that he and Jimmy Kimmel would be the coaches in the All-Star Celeb Game. Participating in the game will be Magic Johnson (hopefully no one still scared to guard him), Scottie Pippen (hopefully their playing for a cash prize), A.C. Green (I heard he finally got his dick wet), Jalen Rose, Chris Mullin, B.J. Armstrong, Jason Alexander, Common, and of course Justin Bieber. I wonder if the Bieb is gonna wear one of those Sasha Vujacic hair net string band thingies that make him look like he's wearing a lace front wig? If not, he should.
No word yet on why the majority of players already committed formerly played in the NBA. And yes, I'm including Common in that.
2) Tom Brady Wins Offensive Player Of The Year
No surprise here (even thought Thomas couldn't crack 4,000 yards). I wish they would've just gave him the MVP today too. Why wait?
3) Stephen A. Smith Returns To ESPN
Damn, that was fast. I think DMX was out of jail for longer than Stephen A. was away from ESPN.
Welp, welcome back Stephen, I can't wait to see him back in Bristol battling Skip Bayless on 1st & 10.
4) Homeless Couple Win Trip To Super Bowl
Wow, 2011 has been an awesome year for homeless people. First Ted Williams gets a hair cut and a bazillion job offers, and now these homeless folks get an all expense trip to Super Bowl XLV. Hell, I need to stop paying these bills so I can hurry up and get my blessing.
