2005 NBA All Star Game Recap

With all the hype about the young players in the NBA, the All Star Game showed who is still at the top of the league. Allen Iverson, Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Garnett are the cream of the crop in today's NBA. I thought Iverson or O'Neal should have won the MVP award, and sure enough Iverson's double-double was enough. Vince Carter always plays well in All Star Games because his style is suited for the form the game takes. His off the glass dunk, reminiscent of his distant cousin, Tracy McGrady was quite good. He had to reach his hand back because he threw himself a bad pass, grab the ball, and dunk it home. Amare Stoudemire's reverse alley oop was also notable. In the end, the East won, snapping the West's three game winning streak.

At half time, some country bumpkins sang the lyrics "save a horse, ride a cowboy." For some of our dumber Christian conservatives, that's sexual innuendo. To be honest, I really don't have a problem with the line. But I am appalled at the hypocrisy in the United States today. Granted, no fake breast was shown in this display, but let's compare this to some other "outrageous" sports antics of the past few months. Newly appointed saint, Terrell Owens reluctantly caught a woman who had jumped into his arms before a Monday Night Game last fall. We saw the woman's bare back. Bedlam ensued after Owens performance. The skit had sexual overtones, but then so does our country friends' song, now doesn't it? The more absurd case involves Randy Moss. After scoring a touchdown, Moss PRETENDED to moon the Green Bay faithful. I hope this is not sexual or else I'm in a whole heap of trouble because I once saw my baby cousin's tuckus while his diaper was being changed, which would seem much worse then PRETENDING to moon some people. And singing about fucking cowboys is also worse than PRETENDING to moon some people. So in conclusion to my All Star Game wrap up, many Americans are hypocrites.

Or are they? Owens and Moss are black, if I'm not mistaken. Despite the country singers rappin' cowboy friend, they were white. Ah, so I get it! Americans are not hypocrites, just vicious racists. Ok, my mistake.
