As I said earlier, from games to parties to appearances, there wasn’t a free second to be had during NBA All-Star Weekend.

On Thursday, I had the chance to visit the offices of PEAK here in L.A. And while I was there, other than chatting with Kevin Love about my parody of NUMB#RS (which he watched and thought was hilarious), I was able to snap some pictures of his All-Star kicks for tonight’s game.

After signing with Golden State this summer, Dorell Wright has taken his game to a whole new level – a level that should include Most Improved Player Award consideration. He’s started all 40 games for the Warriors so far this season, and is averaging 16.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Maybe it’s the shoes?
