My All-Star Game memories

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Heeeeeyyyyyy worrrrrllllddd!!! What’s up everybody? Back from the All-Star Game and ready to jump start this stretch run to the playoffs. We all know that now is the time to sharpen our focus, clean up some of our inconsistency and make a real push to get ready for the postseason. We’ve talked all year about trying to win a championship, so now it’s time for us to start having the focus and effort every night of champions.

Let’s talk about the all-star game. I had a so much fun. The whole weekend was great. That was one of the best all-star games I’ve ever played in. Playing before 108,000 fans was incredible. Someday I might tell my son that I played before the largest crowd to ever watch a basketball game, but he would probably just be happy that his dad got to play ball.

Not sure if you guys saw my record shot or not from Saturday at the all-star game, but I am now the Guiness World Record Holder for the longest shot while sitting down. I made one from 52 feet-six inches and I got a plaque for drilling the shot. Ya’ll know I like to try all kinds of crazy shots before games, so that one was a lot of fun. I knew I could make it, but I just needed a couple of tries to get the distance right.

I had four other great memories from all-star weekend:

1. Ya’ll know I’m a spokesman now for McDonald’s so I went one day and worked in a McDonald’s in Dallas. I made some burgers, made some French fries and I even learned how to make hot chocolate. The people in the store were cool and we just had a good time together. It was a lot of fun.

2. I got to hang out with some of the kids from the Make-A-Wish program before the game, and that’s always special to me helping kids who are going through a hard time have some fun. I took a couple of the guys around the locker room and let them meet all the all-stars and get their autographs. Those kids are so tough and they inspire me.

3. Ya’ll probably saw me make that 3-pointer in the game, too. Everybody was shocked, but I wasn’t. I’ve been putting in a lot of time before games and after practice shooting with Patrick Ewing and trying to expand my shooting stroke.

I make dozens of threes every day in practice, so it wasn’t that surprising to me that I made one in the game. Ya’ll don’t believe me, ask Derrick Rose and C-Bosh if I didn’t beat them in a 3-point shooting contest before the all-star game? They were mad that a big man like me beat them and they could see how much work I’ve been putting in on my shot.

4. And then there was that H-U-G-E HD replay board that they had in Cowboys stadium. I told the guys on our team that I might want get one of those for my house. If I had one then I could see myself playing NBA Live or Madden on a really big screen. I could put it across the back yard and I could sit in my room and look out at TV. Now that would be cool!!!

Anyway, thanks so much to all ya’ll for voting me into the All-Star Game. Hopefully, I represented you well. Maybe one day I can win the MVP of the all-star game, but my focus is more on getting that championship. Raising that NBA title trophy over my head is what I want more than anything, and I’m going to do my best to bring it home this season.

Pray for us!!!
