AEG president and CEO Tim Leiweke wants to see the NBA's 2013 All-Star Game in Los Angeles.

This season's event was held in L.A. at the Staples Center last weekend.

"I think we're going to go right back after it," Leiweke said. "We'll work with the Lakers and the Clippers to see if either of them want to host it.

"Neither one of them have hosted an All-Star Game in a long time. If either of them want to do it, we'd certainly be partners with them and that would add a twist to the bid. But I think the league, the players, the team owners, everyone had such a great time, and for the city to have a $100 million economic impact like we did here, it would certainly be great to get them right back here."

Orlando is set to host the 2012 All-Star Game.

The 2011 NBA All-Star Game on TNT delivered 9.1 million total viewers, 6 million households and a 5.2 U.S. HH rating, along with strong growth across all key demos, according to Nielsen Fast Nationals. This year’s star-studded contest in Los Angeles ranks as the most watched and highest rated game since 2003, which featured Michael Jordan’s final NBA All-Star appearance of his career. In addition, the 2011 NBA All-Star Game and All-Star Saturday Night presented by State Farm, which was the most watched in the event’s 26-year history, combined to average more than 17 million total viewers.

The 2011 NBA All-Star Game also posted strong growth over last year, an increase of +33% in total viewers (9,093,000 vs. 6,846,000), +36% in households (5,975,000 vs. 4,399,000) and +37% in U.S. HH rating (5.2 vs. 3.8 U.S. HH rating).

The Clippers became nervous when they realized Blake Griffin was planning to dunk over a car during Saturday night's slam dunk contest.

"I noticed when I went in for my rehearsal Thursday night, everybody from the Clippers was there. All our upper management and then I realized, everybody is kind of nervous about this," Griffin said. "So I jumped over it and I kind of looked at them and they are like, 'All right, you can do it.' I understand why, but I guess they don't trust me enough."

Griffin missed all of last season with a broken kneecap.

During the team's long road trip leading up to the All-Star break, Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro asked Griffin what he was planning for the dunk contest.

"He already knew what I was going to do, so I just played dumb and acted like, 'I don't know yet, man, I don't know,' " Griffin said.

The NBA's All-Star Saturday night was watched by 8.1 million viewers, making it the most-watched event in its 26-year history.

TNT says its coverage drew 23 percent more viewers than its previous record of 6.5 million, set in 2009.

Blake Griffin plans to give the trophy he won in Saturday night's Slam Dunk contest to the family of high school teammate Wilson Holloway, who died Wednesday after a long battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma.

"I wanted to do this, not just for myself but for him," Griffin said. "I think I'm actually going to give this [trophy] to his family. That's why I really wanted to win."

Griffin learned of Holloway's death Wednesday night after the Clippers defeated the Timberwolves.

He plans to fly straight to Oklahoma City after Sunday's All-Star Game to attend Holloway's funeral on Monday.

"It's kind of a good thing that I've been so busy," he said. "It doesn't leave you time to think about it."

Stephen Curry won the Skills Challenge on Saturday evening, defeating Russell Westbrook in the final. Chris Paul, Derrick Rose and John Wall were eliminated in the first round.

James Jones won the Three-Point Contest, defeating the Boston duo of Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.

John Wall starred with 12 points and 22 assists in Friday night's Rookie Challenge, winning the MVP award and setting a record for assists in the annual game.

The Rookies defeated the Sophomores 148-140 at the Staples Center.

"My intentions wasn't to come in and get the MVP," Wall said. "Just tried to have fun. I wanted to break the assists record, to show guys that I'm not the type of person that wants to shoot the ball every time. In this type of game, I was looking for my teammates and they did a good job of getting open and finishing for me."

The rookie team was coached by Knicks All-Star Amar'e Stoudemire.

The NBA's All-Stars don't think adapting the NHL's new All-Star rules would work.

The NHL selected two captains and allowed them to choose their teams at the league's All-Star weekend.

"No, because Eastern Conference, Western Conference, we don’t like each other," LeBron James said when asked if the practice would work in the NBA. "We wouldn’t pick somebody from the Western Conference to be over here with us, and I don't think they would, either. I don't think it would work."

Dwyane Wade took it one step further, saying that if Kevin Garnett were a captain he wouldn't pick certain rivals.

"But K.G. would pick all of his teammates, and he wouldn’t pick any of the Heat, so it would be all messed up," Wade said with a laugh. "That might be fun."

Blake Griffin has a busy All-Star weekend schedule, but the Clippers rookie is unfazed by the workload.

Griffin was selected to take part in Saturday night's Slam Dunk Contest, in addition to Friday night's Rookie-Sophomore Game and Sunday night's All-Star game.

"Originally, I agreed to do the slam dunk, and then they said I made the Rookie Game, so that was cool," Griffin said. "Fortunately I was able to make the big game, so why not? I'd rather do it that way. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so you take advantage of it."

Did he ever think about cutting back on his schedule?

"Nobody actually gave me that option," he said with a smile.

Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls, John Wall of the Washington Wizards and Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder were selected by fans to compete against Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets in the 2011 Skills Challenge on Feb. 19, at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Along with the four players chosen to compete, fans also had the opportunity to vote for Baron Davis of the Los Angeles Clippers, Tyreke Evans of the Sacramento Kings, Derek Fisher of the Los Angeles Lakers and Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs.

Last year in Dallas, Steve Nash finished with a winning time of 29.9 seconds, joining the Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade (2006 and 2007) as the only other two-time winner in Taco Bell Skills Challenge history.
