With questions like "why did you start playing basketball" and "how does it feel to be an all-star" regularly featuring, it goes without saying that there were no juicy revelations.

There were, however, a number of gaffes. Jewish rookie Omri Caspi was asked "coming from Israel, how does it feel to be playing in the Mecca of basketball?" - I kid you not!

And as Shannon Brown unveilved his customized Kobes he said "the Kobes are low cut, but have an extra bit so you don't roll your ankle"...hmmm....so I guess we dreamed Mamba busting his shit the other day and missing the All-Star Game as a result?!!?

I will say this though - House of Hoops is pretty deep. They have a SERIOUS basketball sneaker collection there...and with bare throw-back Jordans, it was like a trip down memory lane for me. They were also selling the special All-Star Nike colourways...and whilst I'm not sure about the pinky/red ones, the blue ones were kinda cold! If you want a pair you'd better get on it quick before they're gone.
