CP3!

Playstation Skills Challenge sounds very easy, Chris Paul to win

He'll have a great fan support and I can't see Wade winning this year (3rd time?!) again. Let's Go CP3!

I must admit that I'm surprised a little bit when I saw bookies are offering 3,50 for CP3! First of all, let's have a look at candidates this year. We got Dwayne Wade here but Wade is not very hot like last year. Moreover, he won last year, I can't see Wade winning this year again.

Deron Williams, Jason Kidd.. Ok, these guards are very hot too but they're not agile like Chris Paul. Moreover, Chris Paul will have a home advantage because All Star is being organized in New Orleans as you know..

CP3 is amazing this season and I believe that he deserves to win this challenge. Let's go CP3!

Chris Paul to win
3,50 @ Gamebookers
9/10

KISS THE RIM!

What's different in Slam Dunk Contest this year? Nba.com Voting System of course! It means the most popular player is likely to win because not only jury will give points. So let me ask you guys, if you were American people; would you vote for Gay? Rookie Moon? Or Dwight Howard?

Moreover, people are curious about Howard's "Kiss The Rim" Dunk! He was unable to perform this dunk last year because he was eliminated in earlier rounds..

Howard is my favourite but Moon is a good candidate too so I won't exclude him either!

How about Daniel Gibson @ 5.50 to win the 3 point shoot-out...

...warmed up yesterday with the lazy 11/20 from down town!!

You think he had today on his mind?

I think we can safely discount Dirk and his .291 season!

Big surprise (for me anyway!) is Hamilton...shooting over 48% on the season (over 50% FG's)...not sure he should be the rank outsider @ 9.00 or so.

Peja looks the deserved fav, but both Kapono and Rip have been shooting the 3 better this season...

Anyway, I've taken some of Rip @ 10's...

Hmmm. There seems to be some huge discrepancies as to various folks is in regards tonight's MVP for the All Star Game.

Bet365 have Lebron James as the 4/1 favourite (they have Chris Paul 9/2 and Kobe Bryant 9/1). Ladbrokes have Kobe Bryant (!?) and Lebron James as their 3/1 joint-favorites (Chris Paul is 10/1).

It'll be interesting to see how much Kobe wants to play as he's been moaning that he doesn't want to but his hand has been forced (as it were).

[TazaD]

I think there's some pretty good value in the MVP for that (Kobe) reason, stereoman...

Lebron looks the "obvious" fav, but chances are the East won't win...***

Iverson, has been shooting badly, and isn't exactly spectactular..

'Mello has to be a good shot. Scored big last year and is in good form. (9.00)
Wade, no. Kidd, no. Nash, no...
Howard...same deal as James. Will have a monster, but probably lose.

...which leads me all the way out to Stoudamire @ 25's!!

*** As usual, it's bench strength which will decide the game, and the West's is far stronger than Detroit ...but who can guard Stoudamire when he comes on??
Bosh will likely start in place of Garnett, leaving who? 'Sheed? Jamison??

You knw Stoudamire will get a few spectactular plays from Nash...might hit a few jump shots, lots of dunks and boards...
...well over the odds, imo.


(How unlucky was Rip in the 3 pt contest? Didn't hit a money ball and had 4 points taken off for having a fot on the line. Really should have made the final...although no-one would have beaten Kapono!!)

Howard was an easy dunk winner...but Green's blowing out of the candle was the best one by a street!!

[TazaD]

Taken equal stakes of;

Lebron (5.00)
Howard (21.00)
'Mello (11.00)
Stoudamire (41.00!!)

[TazaD]

Just needed the West to get up ad Stoudamire was a HUGE chance after a monster second half.

Oh well, small profit still...

...I reckon ayone who had Allen for MVP would be pretty upset right now.
