LOL lebron playd 30 minutes.

if it wasnt for lebron in the first 3 quarters, the game was a blowout. lebron kept them in it and ray finished it at the end.

Last time I checked 30 > 18 minutes... and forget the lead they had in the first 3 quarters. As a matter of fact, the East lost that lead and Ray stopped the bleeding.

the reason east started losing is b/c lebron wantd to win mvp so bad...he just started jacking up shot after shot after shot.

If it wasn't for Kobe and T-Mac sitting out, the West would have dominated the competition just like last year

Oh don't forget AI's 6 turnovers with 7pts.

go watch the clip of lebron dunking it nasty over dirk..sure that was a sick dunk..but watch how he stole the ball from his own freakin teammate (jason kidd).....you pass the ball to the PG on the rebound..but no...lebron has to steal the show when they are down. lol

I didn't have a problem with Allens shots since they were normal shots for him. But Bosh and Pierce were the reason that the West had a chance to win that game. Their shot selection was just terrible in the 4th quarter. And Bosh made more bad plays than good for the entire game.

Did Pierce even play in the 4th? I could be wrong, but I think Chauncey and Rip came in and Pierce and Ray came out (with Ray going back in eventually) at the end of the 3rd.

That's true cause Dirk started backing them down and the East countered with small line-up by bringing Ray for 3's to get the East back in it.

In all seriousness either of the players deserved it.

I am pretty sure Pierce left the game when the east was up by double digits.

I don't see how you could say Ray CLEARLY deserved it. Him and LBJ both had great games.

OK, But he was also playing with a frontcourt of Antwan Jamison and Rasheed Wallace. Those two guys wouldnt even sniff the all star team in the west.

Why does anyone play 30 mins? Its a F' All Star game. Everyone should play equal with the starters getting slightly more(and starters finish the game). Everyone should play and have fun but it seems lebron justs wants to say he is mvp and he trys to hard.

That -1 doesn't describe one particular incident. It's +/- based on the production of his team minus the production of the opposing team when he was on the court.

lebron shot 22 times (7 of them from behind the arc)

thats 3 more than

kidd, sheed, jj, jamison, howard combined.

and he still had time for 9 assists.

just tells you how much of a ball hog he is. (i mean this is a freaking all stars game where every players good)

but hes still a very good one.

That was a beautiful move by Lebron. He blew past by Paul and Roy and dunked it over Amare and Dirk.

I saw what you're saying though. He got the ball from Kidd :rofl:
