NBA 2009 All- Stars Playing in Phoenix

The 2009 All-Stars Game in Phoenix
Commissioner David Stern had made the decision to hold the 2009 All-Stars game in Phoenix, Arizona, the home of the Phoenix Suns. The famous game of talented players will be held on February 15, 2009. This would be the third time playing in Phoenix after 1975 and 1995. With the All-Star game is the 3-Point Shootout, Slam Dunk Competition, and the Rookie Challenge. I think it will be a good choice because Phoenix has a fine Arena for basketball.

What is the All-Star Game?
The All-Star game is a game played between the East and West. The teams consist of talented All-Star players from around the NBA. There is also the Rookie Challenge which is a game where the newcoming rookies play against the once rookies Sophomore. Then there is the Slam Dunk Competition which is players trying to come up with the most creative dunk. Also the 3-Point Shootout is part of the All- Stars Weekend. In the 3-Point Shootout all you have to do is shoot 3 pointers.
