Today's TV schedule includes what the NBA is calling "All-Star Saturday Night", which includes events titled "Shooting Stars", "Skills Challenge", "Three-Point Contest", "Slam Dunk Contest", and "I'm Taller Than You Are" (not really, I made that last one up -- but who knows, maybe next year they'll do it, especially if they could sell naming rights). For real games, there's college basketball.
