It was once good advice, as Teddy Roosevelt once said, to keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. He obviously hadn't seen the NBA because its galaxy of stars often seem to be floating as high as the heavens. But pretty soon they'll be coming down for a brief landing in Chicago.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver during a media conference in the United Center Friday announced the NBA would be bringing its annual sporting phenomenon, the All-Star game, which now is a week of activities and events, to Chicago in 2020.
It will be the third NBA All-Star game in Chicago, the first since 1988 and first in the United Center.
