Perdictions
Announcers have a blast pronouncing these names
Carlos Powell throws it down
Blue Team by 10

Shooting Stars
The what now. It's safe to say this is the time to go up and get a beer rather then watch Bill Laimbeer trying to shoot. It's boring and is a turnoff.

Perdictions:
80& of the unfortunate watching this event fall asleep
Detroit wll win

Skills challenge
This is a little more compelling and is defintely worth using as a tool to improve your Basketball skills. Funnily enough neither of these names participated in the Dunk Contest. Interesting.
Jason Kidd
Chris Paul
Deron Willaims
Dwayne Wade

Perdictions
Kidd finishes last because he misses his shots
Dwayne Wade will win it for the 4th straight year


Three-Point Shootout
This years list of 3 point assasins.
Daniel Gibson
Dirk Nowitzki
Jason Kapono
Steve Nash
Richard Hamilton
Peja Stojokavic

Perdictions
Albert uses the phrase From Downtown all night long
Dirk after shooting 90% the whole contest then chokes in a final round loss to Nash

Slam Dunk Contest
Though not to the standard it once was this years could be compelling because it does contain a decent mix of participants. Dwight Howard immediately has to be the favourite and this will be the first year fans get to vote for the winner. Without further adoo my favourite Dunks of Slam dunk Contest history
