This week’s pick is NBA All-Star 2013 for iPad. It’s the NBA’s official guide to their All-Star weekend events in 2013. This year’s event is in Houston and it kicks off next Friday, February 15.

I like how young, up and coming stars are showcased and I enjoy the heck out of the Saturday night skills competition, Three-Point shootout, the Slam Dunk contest, and of course the game itself on Sunday night I also love seeing all the great camaraderie there seems to be among NBA players – for me it really shines through on All Star weekend.
