    New Orleans to host 2008 All Star Game

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2453969

    Great news for New Orleans and a great gesture by the NBA. Not only will that generate some much-needed revenue for the city, but hosting the All Star Game will help it to establish itself once more as an excellent tourist destination. And on top of that, it's a nice way to acknowledge that the fans there have been without their team. Combine this with David Stern's intent to bring the Hornets back to NOLA after the 06-07 season and things are looking up on the basketball side of things....

    Yep that's great news. I never thought i'd say this but the NBA is doing a much better job at trying to keep the Hornets in town whereas the NFL is "hmmming and hawwing" over the Saints.
