NBA ALL-STAR 2012 ORLANDO

Here’s yet another look at the Big Bang / Galaxy / All-Star version of the Nike LeBron 9. Simply by having three nicknames these shoes are bound to sell out fast. Anyway, the new batch of pics is probably the best one around. Allows to fully appreciate the glow-in-the-dark effect. Hopefully, their appearance on so many different online boutiques may indicate the release is coming soon. The re-sellers have already received the notice. I will update with more information once available. In the meantime check out the new pics as well as the complete gallery.

NBA announced on Nov. 26^th 2011 a first agreement to finish the lockout and start the season on December 25. On December 9 players and owners voted and approved the new CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) so the Orlando NBA All-Star Weekend will be celebrated in the shortened 2011-2012 season.

In May 4 2010, NBA Commissioner David Stern announced in a press conference that Orlando has been selected as the site of the NBA All-Star Weekend 2012, the 61^st edition of this popular event.
The NBA All-Star Game will be played on Sunday, February 26 in the Amway Center, the new Orlando Magic Stadium to be opened in the fall of 2010. In the previous 2 days, the Amway Center also host the Rookie Challenge and the regular contests of the Saturday Night. The NBA All Star Jam Session will be held in the Orange County Convention Center.

This is the second time the All-Star visits Orlando, 20 years after the unforgettable 1992 edition, when Magic Johnson came back to the courts after starting his battle against the AIDS to win the MVP trophy and send a huge message to the whole world.
Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, David Robinson or Clyde Drexler were some of the greatest stars in 1992. Craig Hodges won his third three-point contest and Cedric Ceballos made a name for himself with a "no-look" dunk.
