Ok, so last week Michael Wilbon referred to NBA All-Star Weekend as Black Thanksgiving, and then CNN had a story about Black Thanksgiving, which inevitably led to some articles about the Black Thanksgiving controversy. So what did I do? I googled Black Thanksgiving, and the first picture that came up was the one above. Just as I suspected, Black Thanksgiving takes place on Thanksgiving Day and involves family, food and football.
So what should we call NBA All-Star Weekend? Well we could call just it NBA All-Star Weekend, that would work. I have heard it called the Black Superbowl, which makes way more sense than Black Thanksgiving. Since you know, it is sporting event, with tons of parties and tons of black celebrities go to it every year. I mean besides the NBA stars, John Legend, Diddy, Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Stevie Wonder (seems like a waste of court side seats), Spike Lee, Gabrielle Union, Justin Bieber and countless others were all there. Or we could go with the World Series of Groupies, since every twitter ho and basketball slut on the planet makes the pilgrimage to All-Star Weekend every year and all have conveniently forgotten to take their birth control.
Whatever we call it, I think we can all agree it looks like an awesome time and on a personal note, not going to the 2007 All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas may be my number one regret in life. I mean that was the weekend that all white people learned what "making it rain" means.
PS - I don't think Ciara dresses like this for her Thanksgiving dinner and if she does, I want to go to there.
