If we ignore the venue, what's worth running during the weekend?

Looking at the NBA one for a start:
All-star game - yep, wanna see it
Celebrity game - nope
Rising stars game - maybe
D-league game (ie the level below the NBL) - nope
3-point contest - maybe
skills contest - maybe
slam-dunk - maybe
shooting stars - yep

I come away thinking that there's just not the level of ability or excitement that there was in the NBL in the 90s, so I reckon many of the NBA All-Star activities would be flops over here.

I have to agree with what other threads have said about the past season and the NBL right now ... poor shooting percentages, not much sign of people being able to dunk, not many real stars or excitement machines, and weak rosters.

I think it'll be out of two venues.... 1. The new Perth arena. Not a bad choice but distance is the problem or 2. The new Knox stadium in Melbourne and considering they are playing Boomers games there and were close to bringing a second team in this year I'd lean towards that one...

The Townsville fire have signed Cherie Smith. She played 91 games for the lightning.

Townsville also signed Holly Smith.
The two arent related in any way.

2006 from memory, 2007 was in Cairns i think? I can't remember...

But i doubt Adelaide will get it, if i was a betting man, i'd say Perth. New arena and it's pretty much a lock in for a sell out.

I'd like to see a non NBL city get it, prob not this year because you want a packed house (Perth, NZ, Cairns or maybe new Melb stadium?) but in the future i'd like to see the league use the All Star weekend to get non NBL cities interested in the league.

IE: Hobart, Canberra, Newcastle, Darwin (maybe) etc
