NBA embraces Metallica for All-Star Weekend
One of the things I'm really enjoying about NBA All-Star Weekend is that the good people in Denver apparently really love metal music. I'm writing this literally seconds after the 3-point shooting competition is starting, for which the booming low-end of Metallica's classic dirge "For Whom the Bell Tolls" resonated throughout the Pepsi Center during the player introductions. Also, during last night's Rookie Challenge, the event coordinators announced both the Rookie and Sophomore teams to the infinetly-looped main riff from "Enter Sandman".
Sweet.
