NBA All-Star Jam

William and Larry Nance




William's hand on Chris Paul's imprint
The All-Star game was hosted by the Phoenix Suns this year and on Sunday we went to the Convention Center for the NBA All-Star Jam. There were tons of different places to shoot the basketball, which was all William could ever ask for. Areas for slam dunking at all levels, 3 point shooting, games of knock-out and more. William got a chance to play in Center Court with NBA Legend, first ever slam dunk contest winner - Larry Nance. All the participants got to play in a short game with him, they played knock out and then had time for photos and autographs. Even though there was not much of a sighting of All Stars, William had a great time. He had fun doing the different clinics and just shooting the basketball in every hoop he could find. Shaq walked through the area for a short appearance at one time and all you could see was him towering above the rest of the crowd. I think William had hoped to get more autographs, but they only had NBA legends and coaches about to get fired and people I never heard of on the autograph stage. It was a long and tiring day, but tons of fun.
