Here we are, my first blog. This is my first chance to make my way into the sports world once and for all. To start this off, ill tell you a bit about myself. I am a 18 year old college student from Minnesota and love my sports. My entire Twitter and Instagram feed is full of different sporting accounts from across the web filling my brain with sports news. My favorite however is Barstool Sports. That company in its entirety has made me look differently at the way that I view sports. They are my inspiration for starting a blog of my own to see where it ends up. So with that, here is the first of many.
NBA ALL STAR WEEKEND RECAP
The weekend started off with a bang with the Celebrity All Star game, with stars such as Justin Bieber, Quavo and Kevin Hart. Team Clippers beat team Lakers 77-66, with Quavo being the MVP. The Allstar game is good fun, but has no meaning what so ever. The night continued with the Rising stars game, with Team World vs Team USA! USA! USA! But of course, Team USA got its ass kicked by team world, 155-124 lead by MVP of the game Bogdan Bogdanovic. First off, why the hell does this guy have the same name twice, secondly I feel bad for this guy. He plays on the shit terrible Sacramento Kings, poor kid. He will forever be in the pit of misery until he can scratch his way out of there. But until then, Bogdan is the Serbian King. Saturday night is when the shit hit the fan. Don't get me wrong, I love all star breaks as much as the next guy, but this weekend was absolute shit. We had Joel Embiid cheating in the Skills comp, nobody could hit a 3pt shot other than Klay and Booker, not to mention the dunk contest sucked. Devin Booker made a new 3pt contest record knocking 28 points. He lit up the show. Now to the dunk contest and ill tell you what, it sucked. First off, there were only 4 players that were in the dunk contest. If I remember correctly, there used to be 8 dunkers in the contest, people would bring out cars, superman capes and even cupcakes to blow out. Now all people do is put on their dads jersey, so some shitty dunk, and it gets 10's. It was awful to watch. DJ Khaled was being a stickler all night giving out 7's and 8's, while it felt like Wahlberg was tossing out 10's like Floyd in the club. Speaking of which, Floyd if you can read this, get in a UFC ring with McGregor. Donovan Mitchell from the Jazz won the dunk contest and I was very impressed with him. He has taken the league by storm as of late and I have been impressed with his play. Finally, the All Star Game. Some of the best athletes in the world on one court, not playing defense and chucking up 3's. Overall it was a close game throughout the night and I was quite surprised to see the players actually playing more defense than usual in the ASG. Team Lebron beat Team Steph 148-145 with The King winning MVP. I will say that the NBA is not my favorite professional sport, but overall it was a good weekend.
