2007 NBA All-Star game

[MikeO]

Will be in Las Vegas!

Foreshadowing that a team will be in that city very very soon. Watch the free agents flock to that team!

NBA Player X--I can play games, then go gamble and get free drinks, then go have sex with hookers and its legal (in some parts of the state).....OH HELL YEAH!

I'm in...provided I can grow a foot or so from now to then.

The All-Star game in Atlanta was crazy, I got stuck in some ridiclous traffic. With all of the things that you can do in Vegas and not in Atlanta it will be a huge draw for the NBA. It seemed like 95% of the people in town just were there for the parties and other All-Star events.

The NBA is the perfect league to experiment with Vegas...it takes the fewest amount of people to support a team.

Well most of his columns are crap, but I have to admit this Simmon's quote was quite funny:

One of the best moments goes to the best NBA news of the summer: They're having the 2007 All-Star Game in Vegas! Gentleman, start your condoms! What's the record for "most groupies in one city"? What's the record for "most money collected at a $100 blackjack table by a single casino?" What's the record for "most illegitimate children spawned within a 5-mile radius in 48 hours?" What are the odds that this weekend will lead to me ending up in the Boston Herald's "Inside Track" and eventually getting divorced? And most important, who gets the "Real World" suite at the Palms? David Stern? Michael Jordan? Mark Cuban? Do the Maloofs keep it themselves? What about cramming 45 porn stars in there, loading the place with cameras and seeing what happens? Actually, this news item deserves its own column.
