Los Angeles was the perfect stage for the star-studded event in all of professional sports. The city that invented the red carpet welcomed the 2011 NBA All-Stars with open arms (and a few playful boos for some of the Eastern Conference players) as the Staples Center opened its door for the weekend to hold the Rookie Challenge, 3-point shootout, Skills Challenge, Slam Dunk Contest, and of course, the 2011 NBA All-Star Game. Rosters on both sides were loaded with superstar talent with over half of the Eastern roster consisting of players from the Heat and Celtics. The Western Conference was no slouch either, led by 5-time champion Kobe Bryant, 3-time champion Tim Duncan, and the most exciting and ‘trending’ player in the league in Blake Griffin headlining the West roster.
The All-Star Game theme was once again a patriotic Red vs. Blue motif as the uniforms and signature sneakers all represented their respective conference’s colors. Starting on the East coast, Dwyane Wade debuted the all-new Air Jordan 2011 in White/Varsity Royal, LeBron James wore the LeBron 8 V/2 ‘All-Star’ in Treasure Blue, and Amare Stoudemire wore a new Air Max Fly By PE as well as a sweet new Zoom Huarache TR Mid PE colorway. The four Boston Celtics also caught our attention with some great Player Exclusives; Kevin Garnett wore a dazzling metallic silver PE of his Anta KG 1 signature, Rajon Rondo wore the Air Max 360 BB Low, Paul Pierce wore the Air Legacy 2 PE, and Ray Allen sported a gorgeous grey/white/blue PE of the Air Jordan 2011. Other notables included Joe Johnson’s Jordan Evolution ’85 PE, Derrick Rose’s adidas Rose Zero and adiRose 1.5 PE, and Dwight Howard’s Superbeast.
The Home Western Conference team did its best to counter the East’s barrage of kicks, led by ASG MVP Kobe Bryant’s Zoom Kobe VI ‘All-Star’, and Kevin Durant’s Zoom KD III. Jordan Brand’s two marquee athletes Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul wore All-Star colorways of their signature shoes – the Jordan Melo M7 and CP3.IV. Deron Williams sported a nice PE of the Zoom Hyperfuse Low, and Kevin Love wore the PEAK Relentless PE. However, the show may have been stolen by the electrifying Blake Griffin, who not only held his own in his first ever NBA All-Star Game appearance, but debuted the all new Nike Hyperdunk 2011 in the ’10.0′ PE which features earthquake graphics.

Kobe 6's = Sick.
Lebron 8's = Badass.
Jordan 2011's (Dwade's) = Awesome.
AND all 3 are fantastic for basketball.
Unfortunately….Still too expensive though.
February 21st, 2011 at 12:39 am

February 21st, 2011 at 12:44 am

February 21st, 2011 at 1:08 am
Of course everyone is gonna pick Kobes just cause they're Kobe nut riders!!! Ray Allens were sweet!!! His were the most "special" of them all
February 21st, 2011 at 2:05 am
Probably one of the worst all star game ever because East played like crap. They just relied on athleticism with zero basketball iq whatsoever. Their game was so hidious to watch that even pickup games from a local gym play better.
February 21st, 2011 at 2:10 am

February 21st, 2011 at 1:19 pm
no love for the melos?
February 21st, 2011 at 1:40 pm
It was messed up that D. Rose had to do the douchebag talcum powder toss right before the game with the other starters. It looked like he did not want to do it at all.
February 21st, 2011 at 4:38 pm
they are just low Lebrons, to be honest.
February 21st, 2011 at 4:39 pm
If 130 lb Rondo is fuckin up them sneakz, I couldn't imagine what a regular size man would do to those…
February 21st, 2011 at 4:39 pm

February 21st, 2011 at 4:40 pm

February 21st, 2011 at 6:07 pm
Everybody was talking about D-wades Jordans. But the Jordans Ray Allen had on were fresh .. He had the best shoes out there … next to Blakes shoes
February 21st, 2011 at 10:49 pm
Kobe has already played more seasons that Jordan and has less accomplishments. case closed
February 22nd, 2011 at 1:14 am
those were the 1.5 versions of his shoe
February 23rd, 2011 at 3:18 am
Kobe plays longer than MJ and the gap between them is huge.
+ Kobe plays in a post-2002 NBA with practically no defense.
To match up to MJ, he'd need 4 more MVPs, 4 more finals MVPs, 10 consecutive scoring titles (1 while being DPOTY), 3 steal titles, and all of this DURING THE CURRENT SEASON !!!
A little unrealistic, don't you think?
Besides Kobe never was the main man in his team, nor the most effective in the league like MJ was. No hating here, just please don't insult the GOAT.
Thanks.

D. Rose is one of the best players in the world
April 25th, 2011 at 10:30 pm
