I loved it when Shaq was playing the point. That was hilarious. Jermaine O'neal blocked Marion and Garnett consecutively. :beee: lol. Kobe played very well. I was impressed. Lebron had a very bad game, too much dribbling and shooting by him. The West is officially the best conference in the NBA. LOL at Shaq, he missed so many lay-ups and dunks. Wade was definetely sub-par. Caron Butler was trying but he just wasn't there. Dwight Howard was really impressive. Amare Stoudemire was really surprising and enjoying to watch. Shawn Marion played pretty well, good for Las Vegas to have a UNLV alumni play well. It was fun watching the Western all-stars but the East just stunk.
Kobe Bryant can never catch a break can he? Hop off his dick for once, and give him his props. He played a great all around game, and had plenty of exciting dunks as well. Kobe can never win with you guys, people always turn everything he does into something negative. You need to open your eyes and and be thankful you're lucky enough to watch such a great player.It's getting annoying.

Stop trying to downsize Kobe's performance. Besides, this is an ALL-STAR GAME where you are supposed to 'showoff' and do dunks, alley-oops etc.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BALLAHOLLIC? @ Feb 18 2007, 08:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Kobe Bryant can never catch a break can he?

And a lot of Celtic fans (probably not on BBW though) will say that "you aren't a true Celtic fan if you support a Laker, especially Kobe Bryant." Well you know what? F*ck yourselves. Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players of all-time at his position (IMO, the 2nd best SG ever behind Michael). I'm also sick and tired of all the Kobe haters out there.My theory is this: 90% of the people that constantly bash Kobe Bryant are nothing more than jealous. #1, jealous of his talent, and #2 jealous that he isn't on their favorite team. I support Kobe Bryant 100%, he's not a bad guy like some people make him out to be, and he just an unbelievable player.Congrats to Kobe, I'm glad he won this.
I feel bad for Caron Butler. He seemed like the happiest guy there at the beginning, but after the game he looked depressed. He went like 0-6 and didn't take it too well. I hope it doesn't effect him mentally for the rest of the regular season.

Im sorry people, Im wrong. I take it back, Kobe did play a great game looking at the stats now. I take it back. Personally I still would have gave it to Amare, but thats just me. He played a great game along with Kobe, but Kobe had the flashy dunks and stuff and the better stat line, so congrats Kobe.

Kobe is one of the greatest players we ever seen it may be a crazy statement but It's true. We are so lucky to see a player like kobe in our lifetime haters need to get off his dick.

Gilbert's first two all-star games were a bad experience for him but he turned it into motivation and now look where he is! Gilbert is a pretty nice guy and I'm sure he will not let this game affect Caron Butler.

He might have felt out of place with the other guys on the team, most of them are used to the all-star experience. It reminds me of Michael Jordans first all star game, he was extremely happy to be there at first but once the game started up he seemed nervous the entire time. It doesn't help that the other guys were jealous of him and didn't pass him the ball much, they froze him out of the entire game. He only shot 22-23%...
Yeah, Caron could've been active in the offense, but stupid LeBron hogged the ball and started jacking up random three pointers to make a run for MVP. The East team was just selfish (most of the players were), and wanting to steal some of the spotlight. Caron also had the jitters and missed some jumpers that he would've made easily in any regular season game.
Kobe was sick tonight. Give credit when it's due, he deserved it. He did have a lot more playing time than ANY of the other 4 starters though. He's played 28 mins, the rest never even got 20 mins. LeBron was trying to do too much, I was kinda glad he didn't get that off the glass dunk. Shaq did great playing point, and that Kiss on T-Mac. LOL. Arenas played a bit with those people (w/e you call them) during halftime, I didn't know he can dunk like that, he needs to do that more often, instead of shooting too many threes. Butler was 1 for 7! Lol I guess he was a bit nervous. He took shots he normally make. East didn't play any D. They were more focused on being flashy,and a few of their TOs was from trying to get an Alley oop.

Lebron plays point guard for the Cavs, so obviously he wanted to do it on the big stage. Plus it got him an MVP last year. But Lebron defientely went nuts about it.
lebron definitely didnt play any good dis game. man he kinda killd it for the east. props 2 kobe man, he do good
I love how everyone is complaining about the players messing around and playing flashy. It's the All-Star game, man. That's what it's about. They are supposed to have fun, they are supposed to try their best to excite the crowd as much as possible. What do you want? A big fundamental game where fans cheer once every 15 minutes? I sure as hell don't, not for the All-Star game. I want excitement and thrills.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (12HRockets @ Feb 18 2007, 11:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>lebron definitely didnt play any good dis game. man he kinda killd it for the east. props 2 kobe man, he do good</div>Word son. Das real talk home boiii
I swear to god I've seen a couple passes intended for other players and LBJ took it, one of those passes was from Wade to Gil, whose THE PG for the game....
