TBGKon Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Just saw on SportsCenter that it seems Dallas will host the 2010 NBA ASG. The catch is it will not be at the American Airlines Center, but at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium.http://www.star-telegram.com/sports/story/1004802.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 This is a great move by Cuban. At first I was thinking that it was silly to have it at such a big venue, but then I remembered how the Sixers owner said they would never try to host it again because of how the league took over and shut out most of their season ticket holders. As long as the season ticket holders are guanteed the opportunity to purchase seats, this is a great move.

Seriously? You haven't heard said for the NBA All Star Game? I read it first from JA Adande when he was with the LA Times when the game was in Las Vegas. Bill Simmons may have even used it post ASG weekend too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Co-sign. The ASG in Atlanta a few years back might as well have been the National Hip-Hop Convention. I have never seen that many black celebrities in that close of proximity EVER than when I went down to Lenox Mall on the Saturday afternoon before the game.Usually celebs travel in small groups, NO, they were all there in plain sight, and of course lots of common folks were there just to be there, and it just got crazy. One of the craziest things I've witnessed, and I didn't get anywhere near the official All Star Festivities.And yeah, I do say that this is a great idea on Cuban's part. Leave it to him to come up with some Maverick (no pun intended...either one you can think of ) idea that ends up being great for his franchise.

NJTank Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I dont understand how Dallas can get another NBA ASG, when Boston has not had one in years, and Portland and Toronto has never had it. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 The West will have had the ASG 7 years in a row. Mind giving it to a team out in the East? I mean Boston and Toronto desrved to get the ASG early this decade, and the NBA still decides to keep it out West every year Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 ... or we can go retro and have the All-Star Game hosted by the Sonics at the Kingdome... Yeah, they can reconstruct the whole thing simply to hold one game. Wait, that'd mean they'd have to demolish Qwest Field, rebuild the Kingdome, demolish the Kingdome again, and then rebuild Qwest Field...I think it'll work. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Boston and Toronto desrved to get the ASG early this decade, and the NBA still decides to keep it out West every yearThe teams still have to actually apply for it, right? Der Kaiser, David Stern, doesn't just call up Mickey Aronson, Abe Pollin, or Bob(cat) Johnson and say, "Hey, you're getting the All-Star Game this year." Teams have to want it, and if they don't want it, you can't make 'em take it.I'm glad people know what they're talking about though.

JH42XCC Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 The Cowboys New Stadium will host a 2010 NBA ASG, then a Super Bowl the year later, and in the year after that, who knows? Maybe it'll host College Basketball's Final Four! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
