Adam Silver: All-Star Weekend likely to be in New York ... But Where

Adam Silver, the incoming NBA commissioner, told reporters Saturday that both the Nets and Knicks have submitted applications to host the 2015 NBA All-Star Game and Weekend, and that it's likely that the game will be held at Atlantic and Flatbush or Seventh and 33rd.

"I think Commissioner Silver is going to have a lot of fun with those applications. I asked him to send me a postcard to tell me how they go," said David Stern.

Earlier today, Mitch Lawrence wrote how important it is for James Dolan to beat Mikhail Prokhorov for the All-Star selection. "Jim is going to want it first, no question" said a person familiar with the thinking of Garden boss James Dolan. "He wants it before the Nets get it."
