As an NBA fan, I will usually tune into the events of the NBA allstar weekend (as they like to call it).  This year I was not only disappointed with the performance of New York Knicks Steve Novak and James White, the outfits of the players watching the Dunk/3 point contest, or the looks of Charles Barkley’s mother (yes, that is real, sorry Chuck), but most of all I am upset with the horrendous musical performances that interrupted anything basketball related in each of the evenings.   A british pop sensation, followed by the American Idol 11 winner and then Fall Out Boy is probably one of the least appealing musical lineups to ever appear on television, but nevertheless who is going to perform at NBA allstar weekend?  That is why I propose to get rid of the bad music altogether (which will never happen because of sponsorship money) or to at least reschedule this madness.  If you’re upset with how I’m reacting, just take a look at this Fall Out Boy performance and tell me if you can watch more then 20 seconds of it without getting unnecessarily angry.   The worst part of this is that I actually watched the whole thing and they punished me at the end of their horrible song with a, “Happy Birthday Michael Jordan” from each of the band members while wearing his jersey.  I am not quite sure how these guys got famous, but I suppose it gives hope to dorky white kids everywhere. Please NBA, don’t do this to me again.   It was sad enough to watch James “the only thing I can do is dunk” White not have enough steam in his 30 year old legs to pull off more than one of his creative foul line dunks.  Watching him fail on most of his attempts was like watching Russell Crowe in “A Beautiful Mind,” a genius and once master of his craft be on the losing side of a deteriorating brain (or body, in White’s case).  The youtube video of his through the legs dunk from the foul line (at 4:50) is enough evidence that this dude was once very special.
