Q edged out Korver with a final round score of 19 Nash destroyed the field in the skill challenge, winning easily in a contest best 25.4 seconds
Marion joined Majerle and Diana Taurasi to win the Radioshack Shooting Stars. Great start for the Suns this weekend
I was surprised the Suns didnt take the dunk contest, because from all the trash Amare was talking it seemed like he was really gonna do something special, the Nash headbutt was good but my man J-Smoove deserved it. Nash is my boy because he's canadian and all and I was so happy that he won the Skills Challenge and Q was the very first player i ever knew about, yup even before MJ so i'm really happy for the suns and there success, hopefully they can win it all this year and I say Nash gets MVP.
Smith was by far the best dunker. I hope the All-Star Game is entertaining, but I really don't want Amare, Nash or Marion to play alot of minutes, and just hope they get through unscathed
Well, the All Star game was pretty fun to watch, though I wish the Suns would've made more of an impact. Obviously Coach Pop had faith in them, they were the first three that he subbed. Marion played the best of them, I think. And Nash played okay, dishing out a few dimes, but he needed to score more. The ASG is one of scorers, not passers, or else Lebron would've gotten the MVP. I was dissapointed in Amare's preformance. He had several chances to score big, and took advantage of only a few of them. He seemed nervous at times, and never rellly loosened up and just had fun. But overall, it was nice to see the Suns represented in the whole All-Star weekend.
Q's win was niceeee, he caught fire at the end. the 3 pt contest was horrible up until then, but Q saved it.
As much as I loved to see Q win the three point shootout I actually think it may have a bad effect on the second half of the season for him. He is already taking too many threes and winning a three point shootout doesn't hurt your confidence. But I am happy for Q, I just think in the second half of the year he needs to take his game more to the post, as Kenny Anderson mentioned before the three point shootout...
Lately he has, especially when he has a size advantage. The other day, he had a monster game and made a lot of his points by slashing to the hoop or posting up his man.
