OK, so I’m doing me right now (I guess that’s the appropriate saying these days), because my tests at university are coming up next week, but judging from some tweets and also this post by the homie Neil Armstrong announcing some festivities, it is NBA All Star Weekend in L.A., right???
Well, I don’t get excited for the game anymore as I used to, but there is always still the dunk contest. And with Blake Griffin in it (just check this new vid of him! Ouch!!!) I’m pretty excited about that. But whatever he does in this contest, his in-game dunks are still the shit to me, because he’s doing all this incredible stuff in an actual GAME!!!!
Speaking of dunk contests: While some mascots like RUN FFM, some others just like to dunk like Mr. Boom Tho in the Korean dunk contest.
Boom Tho is basically a movement, that is mostly represented by Rod Benson, a long time, great and very creative blogger, who happens to play basketball professionally. If you are into the behind-the-scenes basketball & overall funny things, I highly recommend to check his blog.
BOOM!
Also speaking of DJ Neil Armstrong, some weeks ago I clicked through his YouTube channel and found these videos of him DJing at the Rookie Photoshoot the NBA does in NYC before each season. OK, you won’t see him DJing in those videos, but you can see, how to future NBA players do at the decks as he is giving them some lessons.
To Neil & everyone out in L.A. a great All Start Weekend and of course also to those, that are losing sleep while watching it in front of the TV. :)
(This just in: With NBA League Pass you can watch it all for free – at least in Germany. Thanks for the heads up, Sid.)
