All-Star Game on Approach and Allen Iverson Is Starting*

Every NBA fan waits for this weekend every year—the NBA All-Star weekend every February.

This All-star weekend will be no different.

It is still compromised of all of the same events:

• The Sprite Slam Dunk Contest
• The Footlocker Three Point Shootout
• The T-Mobile Rookie Challenge and Youth Jam
• The Playstation Skills Challenge
• The Haler Shooting Stars
• The NBA All-Star Celebrity Game
• The D-League All-Star Game

And Last but Not Least the All-Star Game itself presented as the last horah of the weekend. In 2005 Allen Iverson, was picked to go to the All-Star weekend and ended up winning MVP honors with his magnificent display of 15 points and 10 assists.

With the way things are shaping up in the Eastern Conference voting right now AI currently sits second on the list of Guards to be elected to play. The only man to currently be ahead of him in the voting is Miami’s Dwayne Wade. with an impressive 1,818,717 votes.

Allen Iverson, as my own personal opinion, has no problem securing the second place spot as Vince Carter, currently in third, only has 856,498 votes and the voting ends 10 days from now.

That is a lot of ground to make up to get passed. So congratulations AI on making the All-Star team.

*Starting as of right now, he is in second place in the voting for guards and the first two will start the game.
