 General Basketball WiretapNBA Should Make All-Star Weekend SeriousThe pressure is on Houston; Denver could not have done a better job. The All-Star circus will come to town next year, and we're confident Houston can put on the parties and the rest of the periphery hospitality, having triumphed through the Super Bowl and baseball All-Star bashes. Denver handled the stuff off the court well, too. But we can fix the basketball part. First, it needs to be understood that there should be basketball in there somewhere.

Repeat candidates could include Bernard King (whose Jazz stint was limited to 19 games in the 1979-80 season), ex-coach and current ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale, and college coaches Jim Boeheim, Jim Calhoun and Eddie Sutton.

"I look at the people who are in there — it gets kind of frustrating," said Dantley, who tonight will be part of the Detroit Pistons' three-person entry in the NBA All-Star Weekend's Shooting Stars contest.
