10 years ago- NBA All Star Game in Vegas

[srudude87]

Thought I'd share this article from Brent Musburger's site about the time the NBA All-Star game was in Vegas. Talks about everything that was going on around town. Anybody in town for it?

Was that the last year they played defense in the All-Star game?

Oh, yeah! They left the defense at Fitzgerald's...

That's why it's now called The D!

A group of friends and I talked about going. but that was back in my low rolling days and we changed our minds as soon as we saw the room rates. ASG and CNY made things really expensive

But without that ASG, we never would have had this tv moment years later. I'm pacman jones!!!

I recall watching the game on TV and they kept the lights dimmed on the crowd for the start of the game, as the traffic was so incredibly bad getting into Thomas and Mack that the joint didn't fill-up till a little before halftime.
