The Ultimate Cubao All-Star Weekend Experience
This may probably be the biggest sporting event that I’ve been a part of. This event is so huge, it even surpassed the moment when I scored my one and only sanctioned field goal during our High School Intramurals Basketball game wherein my team, the Fourth Year Section-A defeated our junior counterparts, the Third Year Section-A.
No, not even close.
Last weekend, I witnessed what I thought was an impossibility, a ridiculousness, something which I thought I’ll only see on television, video games and in my forty winks. The gigantic names in the world of Basketball came together here in the Philippines specifically in Cubao inside the newly christened Smart Araneta Coliseum to outline what was dubbed as the Smart Ultimate All-Star Weekend. And when I say it’s gigantic, it’s truly gigantic. We’re talking about two-time NBA Finals MVP, the Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant, reigning MVP, Derrick Rose, two-time defending scoring champion Kevin Durant and former Rookie of the Year, Chris Paul. And not only that, completing the all-star cast are Bryant’s teammate Derek Fisher, former Rookie of the Year, Tyreke Evans, Oklahoma City star, James Harden, slam dunking JaVale McGee and top rookie, Derrick Williams. Whew.
I’m a rock-solid hoop junkie and there’s just no idiotic and bullshit reason to miss this event and if you would remember, I missed the Black Mamba’s Take Every Advantage Tour last July 13 and this is a humongous opportunity for me to compensate that loss. Humongous by the way, is an understatement. Not only would I see Kobe in this event, I will also have the opportunity to see his superfriends playing 48 minutes of competitive hoops.
