J o'neal messed up the game by fouling kobe with 1 sec left in first OT....after jordan hit the big shot with 3 sec left.KG got MVP 37 points 9 rebounds 5 steals..well deserved Very exciting near the end..but you seen antonie walker? lol no court time.Why thomas played carter and pierce in that 2nd OT period i have no idea :roll:
Adleman loves the Lakers! Yes, he even admitted in the press conference. He said that he put in the players that he believed that could win the game for him. I saw Shaq and Kobe out there, but where was Peja? and he's supposedly suppose to have the best shot. Also the Maloof brothers were jumping for joy when Byrant was fouled with 1 second left at the 1st overtime. Oh well...maybe it's not the Kings, sounds like they need a new coach if they ever really want to beat the L.A. Lakers! As for the All-star game itself..a little dull in the beginning with so many turnovers...and kinda got corny when they kept trying to setup MJ for the win. But when they started giving it to KG against VC, then it was for real. So all in all..good game.
One of the best All-Star games ever. Of course the story book ending for Jordan didn't happen, but I'm glad the West won. KG was incredible! The All-Star game competitions were outstanding this year. Great Dunk Contest and a great All Star game. Also I was glad to see Antoine Walker completely fail at the 3-pt contest. He is at his best in the post and not launching 8 to 10 treys a game.
... I'm glad Jordan's game winning shot didn't really win the game because the shot was over Marion D Anyway...I was happy with the game because it picked up as they went along...stupid me though...I was recording and pressed pause at every timeout because I didn't want commercials and at the end of the 4th when Jordan had his first attempt to win the game I forgot to press record so I missed that part of the game on tape! I got the rest though so no big worries...
yah marion had the d on mj for most of the big shots and he only allowed mj to hit one shot, lukily joneal is a retard and fouled kobe
It was one of the worst All-Star Games Ive ever saw. The only exciting period was the overtime, especially the 1st. KG as MVP is deserved, no doubt about it. All in all, MJ showed us that its time for him to leave the stage.
The game was good I am glad th ewest did not blow out the east. But Isiah did not give walker and zydrunas any minutes. And it seemed to me Isiah just gave up in double overtime by just putting carter on KG. Kevin Garnett played great ball and I am glad he won the MVP award for the game.

Thomas wasn't thinking when he out in Pierce and Vince. They hadn'tplayed since the third quarter and he put them in cold in the second overtime :?
TNT I thought TNT's coverage wasn't great, we missed a few good plays due to poor camera angles. As for Toine, they were saying he was pissed off with not coming off. Had is not been for Double OT Pierce would have only had 13. I felt sorry for Jermaine O'neil as he played well, including two blocks on TD, and he had to guard Kobe on that last shot.
