<< Back Next >> -------------------- January 28, 2002 Star attraction The NBA has added a new event to All-Star weekend's attractions. Behold the "989 Sports All-Star Hoop-It-Up". Apparently it's the replacement for the legendary Slam Dunk contest, which all the league's frequent flyers have conspired to massacre. Here are the teams involved: HOUSTON TEAM: Cuttino Mobley Tina Thompson Kenny Smith Jamie Foxx INTERNATIONAL TEAM: Hedo Turkoglu Ticha Penicheiro Sarunas Marciulionis Tom Cavanagh LOS ANGELES TEAM: Derek Fisher Lisa Leslie Magic Johnson Brian McKnight PHILADELPHIA TEAM: Aaron McKie Dawn Staley Moses Malone Justin Timberlake At first glance, there really isn't a clear favorite but after some brainstorming I've come to crown the Los Angeles squad as the pre-event favorite. We don't know how fit the other past NBA players are, but Magic is magic and he still plays euro-ball. I reckon he could be a reserve on an NBA squad. << Back Next >> Back to archive |
