BaB.com T-Mobile Player/Whatever of the Week: Me! BlogABull is going to All-Star Weekend!

1) why t-mobile is any better than sprint.
2) what kind of discount they will give me for being a blog-a-bull reader (haha)
3) if t-mobile will give me the full app of Game Time for free

ha…enjoy the festivities man!!

that would be too good to be true. but u better BULLieve i would read that shit. that would be awesome for a diary-esque blog of your trip

So management can say, “Bosh was all set to come here until he heard how screwed up we were from yfbb.”
Have fun and try to find out Paxson’s screen name. I’m betting angryandy.

You don’t have to act like an ass, or ask the players to knock VDN (I assume at least Rose and Taj will likely be there?)

Maybe some questions about which big FA they think would fit best. How they think James Johnson will develop.

And if you talk to any opposing team players, you can try to get them to give an honest assessment of VDN and/or the Bulls. Please don’t ask some star “gee, what do you think of Derek Rose” like every other Chicago reporter will probably ask.

Cuban would be $$, since he is more likely to give a real answer.

Also, you can ask the non Bull all stars such as Boozer (if he is there), Amare, JJ, Wade, Lebron, etc. about how they would feel playing in Chicago. Other non Bull all stars are more likely to give us a good answer about our coach and team, so I’d stick with those questions for them, since they won’t be coming to Chicago soon anyways.

Good luck, sounds like a fun opportunity.

May not be too much to blog about about but you can get somethings in if you take some pics. But you will have a good time there. Also, don’t spend any or much time on interview questions. You have no idea who your actually going to run into. Go with the flow and Freestyle it. Party on.

and do a running diary of him doing his running diary

Dunk Contest

- based on crowd reaction and just your take as watching live (i would imagine this would be hugely different than watching on tv) – what is the most electrifying dunk and dunker at the dunk contest?? Not often you get to see some of the best athletes on the planet just flaunting their athleticism. The dunker i’m initially most excited about seeing in this competition – shannon brown. i remember him in the mcdonald’s all-american dunk contest…..he’s unbelievable.

All-Star Game

The Kind of things i’d like to know from someone witnessing first-hand…
- who impresses in this format? My guesses (obviously lebron, dwight, durant, nash, ROSE, and actually deron)

- who doesn’t impress at all….looks out-of-place – my guesses (definitely kaman…don’t think he should be in, Iverson duh, and probably dirk and zach randolph…only because their styles don’t seem to fit this format)

At least someone deserving is finally getting something out of (painfully) watching this formally elite team manage a team the last ten years.

like a modern day Job, the Lord has smiled on you for your patience and courage, rewarding you with a chance to see Real All-Stars perform. Just think a weekend without Vinny is like a breath of fresh air after living downhill of the glue factory. Enjoy the respite. You earned it for putting up so long with such a gang of misinformed, malicious malcontents through thick and thin (myself of course, excluded).

Spread the word with all the talented free agents abut the wonders of Chicago and the sheer ecstasy that awaits them when they get the opportunity to pair up with Derrick Rose in 2010.

It’s nice to see you getting some perks for running this madhouse. As to your question: I think the most important thing, for the Bulls, is that Derrick play well. Not in the game – he’s not gonna play much, and he’s going to be very deferential – but in practice. Unfortunately, we don’t get to see that little walkthrough they do. But how will Derrick relate to the big guns when nobody’s watching? That’s what I’d really like to know, and what I won’t be able to see on TV. We all know what that’s gonna be: a lot of shots of his spacing out on the bench with that weird slingblade look he gets. Anyway, if you do have access to the practice – or any other access – I’d like to know how Derrick relates to the big guns. Is he well liked – both personally and in terms of his game? do the other all-stars believe he is a rising superstar, or a product of hype? is there an aspect of jealousy when it comes to how quickly his stardom has come? Those kinds of things.

Anyway – enjoy yourself.
