V-Day Eye Candy
Its the love-a-bull Derrick Rose!
(via NBA.com)
Rose leads off our Valentine's Day piece not only because of his festive last name but also because he was just voted Chicago's sexiest athlete by Victoria's Secret and was featured in a GQ magazine spread (now you know why your girlfriend is always interested in watching Bulls games).
NBA.com: So Derrick why do you love this game?
Rose: I love this game because it comes easy to me. It's something I love doing. Takes my mind of stuff. If there is something going wrong in my regular life, whether it be girls or whatever, when you go out there it seems like you forget about everything. And of course I love the fan base, they are the people who pay you. Of course, I love the pay but the fans are the people who go out there and buy your jersey and yell and scream for you. This game brings so much to you and that's why you got to respect it.
NBA.com: Speaking of screaming fans, some fans aren't out there screaming just for your sick dunks. Others are checking out your sexy since you were just voted Chicago's sexiest athlete. How does that make you feel?
Rose: I'm shy period (he really is pretty shy, as he sits in corner of the locker room with his arms folded, hugging himself). It's awkward thinking people are walking around looking at my picture and thinking I'm sexy. I guess you get in the NBA and that makes you look attractive now I guess. (giggles) The Chicago's sexiest male thing was a fun little event that people were voting on around the city. I wasn't even checking up on it and then one day my agent called me up and told me I won. I had to go to this little Victoria Secret event to celebrate.
NBA.com: Little Victoria's Secret event? Don't be so modest. I'm sure you didn't mind going to the Victoria's Secret event.
Rose: Oh no, I didn't mind at all! (Devilish grin)
NBA.com: What kind of gift would you get your special someone on Valentine's Day?
Teammates: (Laughter starts brewing in the locker room and yelling ensues) Tell 'em the truth D. Rose. Tell 'em the truth! He's going to buy her a Phantom or summin! (A Phantom is one of the most expensive cars, lusted after by the rich and famous. Check it out here.)
Rose: I ain't got no Phantom so why would I get a girl a Phantom, boy?
Teammates: Boy? Who you calling boy? (laughter)
Rose: Anyway, I would probably get her a purse. Teammates: A purse! What!?
NBA.com: What kind of purse?
Rose: Anything she wants
NBA.com: What would be a good gift for you? Would it be a Phantom?
Rose: That would be a great gift to tell you the truth! But really, I love bags. Toiletry bags and stuff, that's what I like.
NBA.com: You ever have a bad Valentine's Day where things just didn't go your way and someone didn't want to be your valentine?
Rose: No. Not really. Oh wait, let me knock on wood or knock on something so I won't jinx myself. But mostly girls always said yes to being my valentine.
America's female population just melted. He's shy and likes purses! This is one sweet Rose I'd always pick!

And the Winner is . . .
2010 NBA All*Star Game
So, the East took home the trophy this year as it came down to a series of free throws in the final seconds of the game to break the 137:137 tie. With 5 seconds left on the clock and the East up by two, Carmelo Anthony took the final shot for a three-pointer but it didn't make it into the basket as the buzzer sounded and the East became this year's Champs. Dwyane Wade scored 28 points for the East and walked away with the MVP trophy. Anthony scored 27 points for the West and had his last shot made it through the hoop, Melo would have had that MVP trophy.

NBA All*Star Weekend Report
H.O.R.S.E. Competition
Kevin Durant reigned once again as champion of the NBA's H-O-R-S-E competition, beating Boston's Rajon Rondo in a shootout to end the hour-long event. With time running out, Durant and Rondo had a shootout, with each miss counting as a letter. Both players made several shots in a row, but Rondo eventually missed to draw an E and end the contest.
Three-Point Contest
Rookie Stephen Curry participated in the Three-Point shootout contest advancing to the second round as the top scorer with 18 points. But unfortunately Paul Pierce led off the final round with 20 points and Curry only managed to rack in 17 points. And although Curry scored more shots, Pierce secured all 5 of his 2-point shots giving him the advantage. I was rooting for Curry, but maybe next year.
SLAM DUNK Competition
Though this year's Slam Dunk Contest wasn't as animated as years past, 2x champ Nate Robinson came up with enough to defeat Toronto Raptors rookie DeMar DeRozan in the 2010 slam dunk event, earning enough kudos from the former NBA players-turned-judges in the first round, then getting 51% of the fans' votes. He successfully defended his '09 title and became the first three-time champion, breaking his tie with two-timers Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, Harold Miner, and Jason Richardson.
