Transforming Cowboys Stadium

Hooped Up | February 16, 2010

All-Star weekend was not all that and a bag of chips, even though 108,000+ people showed up to see stars not guard other stars in the biggest mid-season classic the league has ever put on.

Watching much of the All-Star weekend broadcast, it seemed like every time the crappiness of this event reared its crappy little head, the focus would shift to the size of Cowboys Stadium. Which ironically, was one of the best and worst parts of the actual game. Anyway, we all gotta respect the hours that were dedicated to transforming this massive football stadium into a basketball stadium and you’ll be even more impressed watching it happen using time-lapse photography.

Outlet Pass: Dirk Starts, Salary Cuts + Fred Schaus

Hooped Up | February 12, 2010

Denver Nuggets coach George Karl has informed league officials that he plans to start Dirk Nowitzki for the West in place of the injured Kobe Bryant in Sunday’s All-Star Game, sources told ESPN.com.

Sources close to the situation confirmed that Karl — who is not scheduled to arrive in Dallas until Friday with the Nuggets playing host Thursday night to the Spurs — will move Nowitzki from the hometown Mavericks into the starting lineup even though he’s obviously not a guard.

Derrick Rose left the Chicago Bulls’ game against the Orlando Magic with a bruised right hip, throwing the point guard’s status for this weekend’s All-Star game into question.

After X-rays taken at the arena showed no structural damage, Rose went for an MRI at Rush University Medical and was unavailable for comment. His status for the All-Star game is in question. Read More »

Kaman Will Join The Western All-Star Squad

Hooped Up | February 8, 2010

Holy Shmoly, Chris Kaman has just been added to the western conference all-star squad to replace a hobbled Brandon Roy.

Los Angeles Clippers centre Chris Kaman will replace the Trail Blazers’ Brandon Roy in this weekend’s All-Star game.

Roy injured his right hamstring last month.

Roy, in his fourth season with the Blazers, made the All-Star team as a reserve for the third straight season.

Kaman will be making his first All-Star appearance.

Kaman is the first Clippers player to be selected to the all-star team since Elton Brand was in 2006.

Freshly Dipped: adidas All-Star Game Jerseys

Hooped Up | February 5, 2010

Since adidas is the official apparel maker of the All-Star game, that makes the best players in the world a brotherhood.

The snazzy 2010 NBA All-Star jerseys were inspired by the host city of Dallas and the symbolic Texas state flag. The star on the front of the jersey unites opposing east and west players forming one star when standing next to each other and the single star is divided into five pieces joining as one, representing five players on each team coming together.

Another nice tribute to the host city on these jerseys is the Dallas skyline pattern on the back.

Peep what the western brotherhood is sporting after the jump.

Billups Replaces Paul In All-Star Game

Hooped Up | February 4, 2010

You should never get credit for something you’re supposed to do, so really the news that Chauncey Billups was named an all-star should really be old news at this point. That’s right, I said it!

Sentimentality had nothing to do with his (David Stern) decision Wednesday to add Nuggets point guard Chauncey Billups to the Western Conference All-Star team. It was more about logic and common sense.

“Chauncey Billups should feel like Obama in the presidential election. This, to me, is a fairly lopsided vote,” Denver coach George Karl said before the decision became official. “There’s some great guards out there. But we have the second-best record (in the West) and the man, in the last six weeks, has played better than the guys on the All-Star team. I think it’s somewhat of a no-brainer.”

Mr. Big Shot is having another stellar campaign as a floor general, averaging a healthy career-high 19.2 points and 6.1 assists with the 33-16 Denver Nuggets. The addition of Billups to the western conference all-star squad, fills the void left by an injured Chris Paul.
