Dear Mitch,
If you’re reading this post, you already know. Mission: All-Starbury has been boarded up. The windows, the doors, everything.
We’re at the Comfort Inn. Room 112.
I love you,
Stephon
P.S. – Here are the All Star starters.

Mission: All-Starbury
As I reckon most of you already know, this year’s Sprite Sprite Dunk contest will feature defending champ Dwight Howard, former champ Nate Robinson, Rudy Gay and one of either Joe Alexander, Russell Westbrook or Rudy Fernandez, depending upon which of those three wins the fan vote-off.
And while the Both Teamsters Union is officially endorsing the same candidate as we are for the actual All Star Game itself — a write-in vote for All-Starbury — our penchant for nontransparent, democratic elections compels us to at least share with you the campaign ads of the three conventional contenders. (You can vote here.)
Here’s Flying Buck Dunk Master Joe Alexander’s ad, wherein he headbutts the rim:
Here’s singer/songwriter Rudy Fernandez with his smash hit “Vota Me, Por Favor”:
And here’s Russell Westbrook being, ya know, entirely uninteresting:

In order to help advance the Mission, official Both Teams Played Hard pitchman Mark Cuban has literally reached out to Steph and will certainly be casting his ballot to get the best point guard in the NBA into the game. (via Ball Don’t Lie)
About an hour before tip-off, an Internet billionaire strode across the Madison Square Garden court to shake hands with a basketball millionaire. It could be the first gesture in a marriage of convenience, an example of what happens when two dysfunctional relationships become one.
“I’m a Stephon Marbury fan,” Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said, placing himself in a realm in which he’s quite comfortable — the fringe — but certainly not alone. Cuban and Marbury had a brief handshake and chest bump, and Marbury pitter-pattered his fingers to let Cuban know he’ll be in touch.
Chest bump? Pitter patter? Somebody needs to get me a a photo of this immediately.

After September 11, George Bush squandered an opportunity to unite and heal a nation when, rather than implore the country to adopt the same sense of self-sacrifice and indomitable will that marked the Greatest Generation and helped rescue civilization from the grips of totalitarian fascism, he merely asked Americans to go their local malls and purchase food-court soft pretzels.
Today, then, in response to the second greatest tragedy inflicted upon the modern metropolis of New York, I would be no better, nor would my legacy further withstand the test of time, if I failed to plead — nay, demand — that you follow 3 Shades of Blue’s lead and vote Stephon Marbury into the All-Star Game. (via Ball Don’t Lie)
Friends, bloggers, fans…lend me your ear. Not in a creepy Vincent van Gogh kind of way either … This is your mission, if you choose to accept it: Vote for Stephon Marbury. Put him in the All-Star game as a starter.
The world will little note, nor long remember, what I post here, but it cannot forget what 3 Shades of Blue has done here. It is for us, the NBA fans, to be dedicated to the unfinished work which he has thus far so nobly advanced.
UPDATE: Join the Movement.
