NBA All-Star
Pro basketball connoisseurs, there's a fea
warming up in the oven, and it's making n
mouth water just thinking about it.
Miami, home of the Heat, will be serving 1
a delectable hoops du jours this weekend
hosts of the 1990 NBA All-Star Weekend.
Miami will have the actual All-Star game f
you on Sunday afternoon, but if you'd like ;
appetizer, I highly recommend you try All-St
Saturday which will be offered on prime tin
this year for your added enjoyment.
They'll have an old-timer's game ? T1
Legends Classic, if you will, which, year aft
year, proves how far basketball has come. N

still play the game quite well, thank you, ai
they all had outstanding careers. It's fun
watch.
They'll bring out the 3-point or Long Di
tance Shootout for you next.
This year Michael Jordan will be making 1
first appearance in the event. I hope he wir
mainly because I'll enjoy finding out what "1
only weakness" is next.
Play-by-Play man: "You know Bob, Jord;
has had a tough time lately on those las
second, Hail-Mary shots."
Bob the Color Analyst: "Well, let's be hone
about it, I mean we've had a chance to do se
eral Bulls games in the last few weeks, ai
quite frankly, we've seen Jordan throw up
couple of real bricks from, I don't know, 75
80 feet. I guess he's human after all."
But I digress. By the way, you didn't think
was going to keep up that waiter bit, did you?
Jordan qualified for the 3-point shooto
based on his percentage from tri fecta land th
far this season, lest you question his present
Golf is the man's hobby.
Larry Bird will return to launch his treys. I
had previously been the only player ever to w
the event, but his foot injury kept him fro
competing last year.

Seattle who'll be competing. Billy Thompson of
the Heat will get his chance to thrill the hometown
fans, and Charlotte's Rex Chapman will
try to give the Hornets something to brag about
this year.
Now that I've told you about these guys, you
can forget about them all. The NBA announced
Wednesday that Dominique Wilkins of Atlanta
is a late entry in the contest, so put your money
on The Human Highlight Film if you're smart,
i, All of that should hold you over until Sunday
when Miami will bring out the main course ?
- the NBA All-Star Game.
See the circus on Saturday afternoon because
I you'll want to reserve Sunday for 'The Greatest
i. Show Above Earth'.
For the East squad, the faces should be familiar.
Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan will start
in the backcourt. At center, enjoying perhaps
his finest season (as you're likely to hear) will
; be Patrick Ewing. The starting forwards are
Larry Bird and Charles Barkley.
t The Western Conference All-Star squad will
r feature three members of the Los Angeles Lak}
ers in the starting lineup, but only two who der
serve to be there.
Magic Johnson and James Worthy will be
s starting at the guard and forward spots as they
should be. A.C. Green will start ahead of Karl
t Malone which is a joke. Malone obviously
doesn't think it's too funny though. He scored
f 61 points the night he learned he wouldn't be
1 starting.
At any rate, John Stockton and Akeem Olaju>
won will start at the other guard and center
j spots as they should be. Except for Green, I
thought the fans were on the money with their
selections. The game will be on CBS. Check
1 your local listings, as they say, for-the start
t time.
It's a lot to have to indulge in one weekend, I
/ know, but don't feel guilty. After the Blowout
Bowl a couple of weeks ago, go ahead, treat
f yourself.
