NBA All Star uniforms celebrate New Orleans
The NBA isn't known for its subtlety.
And yet, there it is, in the midst of the high-roller glitz and glamour of the All Star game weekend, a quiet, classy shout out to the host city, lying low in the details on players' blue and white uniforms.
Don't see it? Check out the curling swoosh underscoring the East and West team names. That's a nod to New Orleans' wrought iron architecture. Similar swirls snaking down the jersey's sides echo the lacy railings of Pontalba balconies.
Flip the shirts over, and the backs shine with metallic fabric: gold for the west and silver for the east. The shimmery stuff corresponds to the conference logos, but also is supposed to bring to mind Mardi Gras.
On the player's right thigh is the most overt homage to the Crescent City: a fist-sized NOLA 2008 patch.
But the plug that's sure to bring the loudest applause from local fans is strategically placed above each player's heart. It's the NBA logo done up in a star surrounded by fleurs-de-lis.
Can't you feel the love?

Re: 2008 All-Star Thread
I don't think I've seen CP hit a long trey in a game.He takes a lot of them though,seems like he's shooting from 40 feet at least once in a game with the quarter ending.

Re: 2008 All-Star Thread
CP talking to Andre Aldridge on NBATV pre-game show says he's never been so nervous in his life. I'll bet West will be very nervous too.

New Orleans Gets Boost from All-Star Festivities
NEW ORLEANS -- A city that lives on tourism couldn't buy advertising this good.
Hosting basketball's greatest stars for a game watched by millions in 215 countries was a boost in itself.
Organizers capitalized on that platform by greeting viewers with a French Quarter-style facade, a New Orleans brass band and second-line dancing so contagious that even players couldn't help from bouncing.
The Eastern Conference's 134-128 victory over the West spoiled the host city's hopes that Hornets point-guard Chris Paul would win the MVP award. Otherwise, the people of New Orleans could not have hoped for much more.

Chris Paul delights home crowd despite Western Conference's loss in All-Star game
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Chris Paul was too nervous to eat before his All-Star debut, and wasn't about to bite on Amare Stoudamire's proposed bet.
"Stoudamire tried to bet me, told me I'd be the first one to shoot an air ball," Paul said. "I'm actually thinking about all those different things when we're playing, but I think the total weekend was a success."
Despite the early nerves, Paul delighted his hometown crowd with the nifty passing and clutch shooting they've seen all season.
If only the West had won, he might have had a shot at the All-Star MVP award.
"I wanted to win" the game, said Paul, who had 16 points and 14 assists. "This being my first All-Star game, I wasn't looking to win the MVP or anything like that."
That honor went to LeBron James, who had 27 points in the Eastern Conference's 134-128 victory on Sunday night.
Paul's All-Star debut was a memorable one nonetheless, thanks to a dominant fourth quarter performance that helped the West overcome a double-digit deficit and briefly take the lead.
