NBA All-Star Game 2012 Start Time: Why Fans Shouldn't Miss a Single Second
Forget the Oscars, wouldn't you rather watch the 2012 NBA All-Star Game?
For that to happen, you need to know the information. Here's all the notables of event...
What: 2012 NBA All-Star Game
Where: Amway Arena; Orlando, Florida
When: Sunday, Feb. 26th; 7:30 p.m. EST
How to watch: TNT, ESPN Radio
Simply, the All-Star Game is a spectacle. At what other point will you be able to watch the likes of Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, LeBron James and Kevin Durant all participating in the same game?
Yes, I know the Academy Awards are also on tonight. But really, the excitement levels between the two events aren't even close.
If you change your channel to check in on the hosting skills of Billy Crystal for just a second, you're likely to miss a fantastic play by any of the studs participating in the All-Star event.
For one thing, this game is not completely meaningless.
Sure, defense will be somewhat lax and the actual competitiveness of the players won't be totally turned on to their highest levels, but these guys still all have egos. None of them want to lose, even if it's an All-Star Game. In addition, players have things to prove.
At 33, Bryant surely wants to prove that he's not over-the-hill and that he still reigns with a level of supremacy over the rest of the league. You can surely bet that he'll try to prove himself amidst the roster of "young bucks." Kobe has won the All-Star Game MVP four times, and you can bet he wants to make it five.
Also, Howard wants to put on a great showing in his home arena. This could conceivably be the last All-Star Game appearance for Howard in a Magic jersey. If he's going to leave Orlando, why not thrill and excite the hometown crowd with a scintillating performance?
These are intriguing subplots that add to the allure and appeal of the event.
This game represents the best collection of basketball talents in the world! For your entertainment, the top 25 players on the planet will be putting on a show.
What's better than that?
