Sarah Spain Does Las Vegas

I'm not sure how this NBA All-Star report slipped through the cracks -- oh, wait, yes I do. With Leather's Matt Ufford's immune system failed him like Barbaro's legs -- but it is still positively ABBA Gold.

Internet Super Bowl Queen Sarah Spain (remember her?) and a blonde friend were in Las Vegas this past weekend to help "cover" the festivities. Lucky for us, Ufford convinced Spain to file a dispatch, which he then tweaked a little.

And while I contemplated just copy n' pasting the whole damn thing here -- yes, it's that good, especially the photos -- I'll show some blogger restraint and point you in the right URL direction for the full tale. Here's a tease, though:

2:00 a.m. Steve Nash's party has ended, and the aforementioned Raptors want to party with our girls. So Andrea [Bargnani] and Darrick [Martin] come to Light, and they promptly get booted out of the VIP section -- only hot girls get to stay for free. NBA players need to pony up $400 for bottle service. At about the 3:30 a.m. the foursome heads to the Palms to gamble and eat, only the boys' moods get kind of sour: everyone wants their picture taken with Bargnani, while Martin -- who's shorter than our Amazonian correspondent even when she's not wearing heels -- is getting recognized by precisely no one (though that might have something to do with his level of play, and not his height).

Oh, Darrick, it's funny because it's true. In fact, if you lined up Darrick Martin with nine high-school principals and told me to pick out the one individual who played professional basketball for a living ... well, let's just say I'm not getting it right on my first seven or eight guesses.
