COUNTDOWN LIST WHAT IS THE BEST ALL STAR GAME?
With the MLB all star game tomorrow night we are gonna countdown all the All Star games in the four major sports (NFL,MLB,NHL,AND NBA) and see which one is the best. There is nothing like an All Star game when you see the games best go up against each other. Lets take a look at the list.
   
4.) NFL PRO BOWL 
   I am gonna be very honest. This game is a joke. This game has the feel of a two hand touch game in the park. The defense isn't allowed to really do anything with the rules so the offense dose what ever they want. Its a week before the Super Bowl which isn't a bad thing but it does take away the players that are playing in the Super Bowl from playing in that game. To me as cool as it is to see the NFLs best play with and against each (for the most part) other.You still see Aron Rodgers throwing to Calvin Johnson and Revis covering Fitzgerald.  I still think they should just do away with the game it does more harm then good.

3.) NHL ALL STAR GAME 

     I came very close to putting this one number two. The NHL as the years go on have really done their best to make this game as fun as possible. The past few years they have made two players draft teams which I think the other sports should try to do. I think it be cool to see Lebron and Kobe pick teams and Kemp and Hamilton picking teams. The NHL game is also high scoring like most all star games but the reason why this is such a big deal is because so many peoples complaint about hokey is its low scoring the all star game is very different. The one thing that hurts the game and its only because hokey isn't as popular as the other sports is its on during the day on a Sunday when not many people know its on. If you happen to have a chance next year watch some of the NHL All Star game it will be well worth it.


2.) MLB ALL STAR GAME  Albert Pujols American League All-Star .Derek Jeter #2 of the New York Yankees tags out National League All-Star Albert Pujols #5 of the St. Louis Cardinals during the 79th MLB All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium on July 15, 2008 in the Bronx borough of New York City.                      
   This was very tough picking between one and two. To me the only thing that hurts the MLB All Star game is that you don't see the best vs the best the whole game like you use to. Back in the day the best player played the whole game and get 4 at bats. Now so many players play and while you do get the best playing each other you don't see Mariano Rivera vs Matt Kemp you don't get those match ups at the end like the NBA. Other then that this game is great. Getting to see the games best playing and despite what I said before you still do get these match ups. Even though we have inter league play we still do see some match ups  that we don't see during the year. We get to see Matt Cain vs Robinson Cano and Justin Verlander vs Ryan Braun. Also no other All Star game has the history as this one. The MLB All Star game has a history that is over 80 years old and has had legends from Babe Ruth to  Jackie Robinson  to Bob Gibson to  Rickey Henderson to Ken Griffey Jr and all the way down to Derek Jeter. This game has a tradition like no other.


1.) NBA ALL STAR GAME 
    This game has it all and as it goes on it plays out this way every year that you would think it is scripted. The game starts with all the stars and starters going out there in the 1st quarter and do all different high lights and dunks. Then in the second quarter the bench guys come in and they try to top that all the way to the end of the 1st half. At this point one team has a little bit of the lead and they build on it a little in the 3rd and then the 4th quarter comes and the game turns serious. You see the best out there guarding the best. You see Kobe on LeBron you see Kevin Durant and Dwyane Wade hitting big shots. It turns into a big game feel. Also unlike the other All Star games the players who start the game more times then not finish the game. Thats what to me is the deciding fact in why this one is the best.
