Welcome To Las Vegas, NBA Stars! Enjoy!

We are just a wee few days away from the NBA All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas, or, as we like to call it, "Caligula." The city of Las Vegas is all geared up, and while there's still plenty of talk about whether or not this means there will ultimately be a team in Vegas, we prefer to stick to the point: The NBA All-Star Game is in Vegas, and the whole shebang starts in just a few more days. What could possibly go wrong?

Our favorite notion is that this weekend is somehow an "audition" for the city, that if nothing out of control happens over the weekend, Las Vegas could prove it could have a team. This seems particularly specious; All-Star Weekend is hardly the ideal control group. We think we speak for everyone when we say we'll be actively disappointed if some lunacy doesn't happen this weekend, and if it does, that shouldn't stop anybody from kicking the sleeping dog and putting a team in Vegas. We still think Jordan should move the Bobcats there.
