It’s all about making it official. Before this weekend tipped off, I’ve made some predictions as to who would win each of the events and I’ve published those on my twitter feed (which is down on the bottom right of the site now, by the way). However, I thought it would be good for prosterity to just document those predictions here.

T-Mobile Sophomore v Rookie Challenge : Sophs (they always win on experience)

Haier Shooting Stars : Phoenix Suns, starring Leandro Barbosa, Dan Majerle and Tangela Smith (homecourt advantage)

Foot Locker 3 Point Shootout : Jason Kapono (too smooth, will threepeat)

Playstation Skills Challenge : Devin Harris (boy is quick)

Sprite Slam Dunk Comp : JR Smith  (the newcomer!)

2009 All Star Game : WEST with All Star MVP to be Shaquille O’Neal (yep, the big fella is going to put on a show)

Let’s bring on the fun!!
