NBA All-Star weekend
I'm sure it's fun and interesting to be there in New Orleans.
But out here in Los Angeles I have yet, over this long holiday weekend, to hear one person talking about the NBA's All-Star gala.
Aren't these All-Star productions -- basketball, baseball, hockey and especially football -- way past the point of being relevant? Would somebody please tell me why we keep indulging in these things?

About this blog
NBC Sports contributor Alan Abrahamson brings a wealth of knowledge to his coverage of the Olympics and the sports world.
Just checking in and trying to figure out where you are putting the rest of your writing energy.
In terms of all-star events basketball has the most potential because in many ways it has the least opportunity for injury, not counting baseball. But then what can an all-star baseball game offer. Football and hockey have too much contact and injury potential to make it worth while to even try to hype it as a real event. And by the time the Super Bowl is over who cares about a pick up game of football in Hawaii. Well, maybe the players families enjoy it.
Hope life on the hill is still going well. We anticipate seeing you on the TV this summer from China. Try to get some site seeing in while in China.
Take care and best wishes to the family.
