Ellis playing in All Star game tonight...

Just starting a thread...

 

Ellis for MVP of the game!

 

Ellis is flyin all over the place!

 

Ellis has just thrown down 6 or 7 straight alley-oop dunks in a row. WTF!!??

 

nice start for ellis ..

 

Ellis putting on a clinic. David Lee is dunking every shot just like Ellis...

 

He played great and could have gotten MVP.

 

chris paul was robbed. he easily should have won with how many assists he had.

 

imagine paul on our team... can we trade baron for paul?

 

Yeah, nice game by Ellis.

Too bad we traded for Baron and then moved out of position for Chris Paul. Chris Paul and Monta Ellis were fun to watch play together.

I have never heard of Milsap, but he looks like a player that would do well here. He lead the NCAA in rebounding three straight years, plus he is not stiff, he looked very athletic and smooth. Too bad Boozer is out, so the Jazz probably don't want to get rid of that guy.

It's too easy to get assists in these kinds of games.

 

Who got mvp?

 

David Lee

 

The MVP voting was BS because it seemed like you could vote for MVP before the end of the game, so everyone probably voted for Lee in the first half.

Paul should definitely have gotten MVP. Wish we had him on the W's.

 

I just read a SLAM article on him before the game and I was interested in seeing him play more. From what I saw today hes one of the most exciting young players in the league. Hope I can see him play more often, Ellis has a bright future ahead of him no question.

 

Lee just planted himself in the paint and got dunks and layups in a game of no defense.

Here's my list:

Chris Paul
Monta Ellis
David Lee

Monta's dunks were exciting. Watching David Lee dunk is like watching Troy Murphy dunking... BORING.

 

Monta can fly, I envy Warriors fans for having him on the team. He's great.

You've just seen the beginning. People compare him to an Arenas or Iverson.

Because they're both big or because they're both white?

I actually think that David Lee is a very entertaining dunker. He does more than just slam it home --- he has some style too. After all, the kid won the McDonald's All-American dunk contest back in 2001 over James White and T.J. Ford (who was actually very high-flying pre-injury).

Either way, does the MVP of an event like this really matter? It's a glorified pick-up game as Reggie Miller kept saying, with no defense and very little structure.

Monta Ellis did make a name for himself as an young, athletic prospect though. Playing on a team like Golden State that's on the west coast and gets very little media attention and having only recently come into a major role with the team, Ellis is really still an unknown to the casual fan.

After tonight, I think most people will remember his name.
