Chris Paul PBa League All-Stars

Wasn't sure about it, but it was great fun to watch, Be a Champion Kevin!

[e-tank]

went snowboarding yesterday and we watched some of it while we were eating lunch. It was pretty good. Kevin hart was hilarious as always

[Flyer41]

I got a kick out of if too. I just watched a bunch of Chris Hardwick's "All-Star Celebrity Bowling" videos on youtube. I guess he was everything you could expect from a PBA player's son, since he's got a title now too.

[J Anderson]

Be a Champion Kevin!

Best line from a PBA telecast since "Who do you think you are...I am!"

[got_a_300]

I don't think I'd be able to bowl if I was bowling around
Kevin Hart as I would be laughing so hard I wouldn't be
able to throw the ball at all.

[jbeck]

I DVR'ed it. Haven't watched it yet...

[EboniteKid299]

I got a new pre-shot routine now.. lol smacking the ball with my towel before wiping it down

[I suck at bowling]

The title match was more exciting then half of this years PBA events!

I honestly didn't find it funny. They bowled really well but I was not impressed with Kevin Hart, I guess I don't find his bowling humor funny at all. I was glad when Bill O'Neill made the comment to Kevin, "not when I am on the approach". It is all fun but there has to be some sort of courtesy.

Was glad to see I made it on TV again this week, during their promo for the League round 1 I was in the stands. So 2 weeks 2 ESPN appearances for me. That being said I will be on the next 4 rounds of the PBA League also. Wonderful seats! haha

Could you hold a sign up that says"Scottymoney in da house." This way we can put a face to the name.

Sorry they are all taped already. For those who don't know they tape a months worth of shows in a weekend.

I found it to be a lot of fun to watch. Never knew Terrell Owens could bowl. They talked to him and apparently he has been bowling for the past few years. Probably had the best looking form out of all of them.

This past Sunday was a complete JOKE! That Kevin Hart was a complete Jackass!

I did like the last frame though "You where almost champion Kevin!" Now that made it all worth the 2 hours of time that was wasted. LOL

[jbeck]

After watching it tonight, I thought it was pretty good and entertaining! Blake Griffin's first shot was amazing with his 4 pin spinning back the last minute to hit the 10 pin for a strike! I thought Kevin Hart was funny and I know not to take the event as anything serious and neither did the PBA bowlers. The last match was pretty good though with Kevin Hart striking every shot, even though I was going for Chris Barnes.

He was being entertaining, making the crowd laugh, it's what he does.

[RoccoRock]

Kevin Hart was a classless jerk, and I loved seeing him lose. I know it's just "celebrity" bowling, but you don't laugh in your opponents face when they miss a shot. You especially don't do it when they are one of the 5 best bowlers in the whole world, and you have one of the ugliest deliveries in the history of the sport. I don't find him funny, or entertaining, aside from his appearance in the 40 year old virgin.

It hurts the eyes watching most of these celebrities bowl. TO had a decent style, but it looks like he has some balance issues. Hardwick obviously had the best overall game, and with good reason. His style is a little odd, and awkward, but he covered those 10 pins with ease, and that's what really won them that game.

[americantrotter]

I thought the championship match was the best bowling in on TV in the past year. I listen to the Nerdist podcast, so of course I was rooting for Hardwick and Barnes. I thought it was perfect. The celebrities brought their enthusiasm. This event was a charity event. It's designed to raise money for CP3's charity and the PBA participates to raise the profile of the sport.

Asking Kevin Hart to be less like himself is foolish. It isnt a sanctioned tourney. It's fun. It allows people to see good bowling and the lighter side of the players. I liked seeing Barnes talking smack and then dropping 3 strikes to win. That's never going to happen in a real tourney and it doesn't happen if Kevin wasn't amping it up.

Does anyone ever have fun when they bowl or are you the folks I have to bowl with in sanctioned leagues who make the house kill the music? When it's not serious (and this tourney weasn't serious) most people I know have fun with their friends while bowling. I liked it because they made the top level guys look like real people, not just robots.

Finally watched the recording last night. It was awesome. While my favorite bowlers, Chris Barnes, Mike Fagan, Sean Rasch were there, I got to see more "average Joe" type bowlers represented in the celebrities. It was more like fun bowling a the local lane, with light (sometimes heavy) bantor and all. This is how the PBA should popularize bowling to bring it back to the mainstream. Especially pleasing was Terril Owen's bowling, nice form, although he could use stay down and have more balance in the finish. :)

Is Kevin Hart a Moron? of course! but that's why it's funny to watch, i think the fact that he is one of the best bowlers in the world right now that made hart making a joke of it "ok" it was a joke, and they all knew that. if i started laughing at someone for missing a spare in a tournament would that be ok? no but it's a different situation.

How Kevin hart manged that 5 bagger is still beyond me... you can't buy that kind of luck lol

it was all good fun, and i love what bill said, "you know, i thought if we bowled 267 we would win" LOL

[GeoLes]

I must disagree. Kevin Hart in NOT a moron. He may act like a moron, but in fact he is not. He is doing what he does to keep fame and money coming his way. I know indivduals like him.
This was a promotional event designed to entertain as much (if not more) as to enjoy bowling. I think it was a sucesssful event in that respect.

There are other similar fun bowling venues. I recall a Youtube video of a pro bowler (I don't recall who now), who placed a folding chair halfway down the lane and pitched a ball over the chair and got a strike - twice. It is just another great opportunity to relax and enjoy the bowling. The more people enjoy the sport, the more they will be attracted to it. I don't think serious pro bowling will suffer from a few people having fun breaking the rules now and then.

its all fun and games till kevin steps up =D
