and the streak continues

I'm loving DirecTV's Austrailian Open Coverage. Particularly the Mix-Channel were you get six matches at the same time. I've never play much tennis, non organized, but I still like to watch the Majors. My interest level isn't the same as when I followed Aggasi but it's still there. My rooting interest is mainly patriotic - Roddick and the Williams sisters - both singles and doubles.

I know it's just a product of 24 hour sports coverage, but there are some people that need to give the Allen Iverson All-Star story a rest. It's a meaningless game AND the fans vote for the starters. It's not like the fans are voting for the All-NBA 1st team or MVP. It's an exhibition. It's not like it's outcome will determine home court for The Finals. I'm looking at you Baseball.

Georgetown has the longest All-Star participation streak in NBA History. Of course they are going to need Jeff Green or Roy Hibbert to pick up the slack pretty soon here. Here is the active list:
