Daytona 500 and the NBA All star game

more than likely i will be watching the Daytona 500 which is considered the Super Bowl of Race Car driving. the NBA All Star which once upon a time I use to get hyped about has long ago lost it's appeal to me because the game is way too corporate and the guys don't even start balling until the last 5 minutes of the game. when it comes to Pro Sports All Star games only Major League Baseball still holds my interest somewhat. i didn't want to watch the NFl Pro Bowl game. what Hockey did on New Years day with a outside game is what the NBA should consider doing for the All Star weekend maybe in Rucker's park or somewhere where the game could be played out doors instead of the guarded up atmosphere it has increasingly become over the years. the Last NBA All Star game that moved me was back in 92 when Magic Johnson truly was Magical. Daytona 500 though is something else and it is very compelling from start to finish.
