You get to experience….

-Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic calling the Dirty Dozen Brass Band the “Dirty Brass Band” while reading the teleprompter like some braces wearing pre-teen in a “Hooked on Phonics” commercial.

-Chris Paul being adorable

-Tim Duncan being yummy

-BJ Armstrong, who played with Michael Jordan in the 90s, still looking young enough to be my kid brother.

-Some dude singing “O Canada” who never would have made it past Paula, Randy or Simon.

-WNBA Players carrying their team in the All-Star shootout, without a hair out of place.

-Dwight Howard’s redemption. He pulled off a dunk that would make even Soulja Boy proud by “Superman-in that Ohh” to the basket. The dunk was impressive enough to make even Kobe giggle.

-Minnesota’s Gerald Green incorporating pastries and fire into a dunk…and still not getting the top score.

-Charles Barkley. He obviously spent too much time on Bourbon St. before joining the announcer table.

The hits keep coming tonight. The All-Star Game tips off at 8:30pm on TNT.
