It's official.
Orlando’s new arena lands 2012 NBA All-Star Game
By Antonio Gonzalez
The NBA All-Star game will be played in Orlando in 2012 at the Magic’s new arena.
NBA commissioner David Stern made the announcement Tuesday at the Amway Center, which opens next season. This is the second time Orlando will host the game.
Orlando also held the All-Star game in 1992, when Magic Johnson returned to basketball to win the Most Valuable Player award after his retirement and acknowledgment he was HIV positive.
The new arena and the team’s return to prominence clearly worked in Orlando’s favor. The Magic returned to the NBA finals last year, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in five games, and had the league’s second-best record behind Cleveland this season.
Orlando opens its Eastern Conference semifinal against Atlanta on Tuesday night.

Besides, who'd want to go to Portland in the middle of February anyways?
Or at any time of the year for that matter?
