2008 All-Star Weekend Thread (The Dwight Howard Show)

[NO-KG-AI]

I usually don't see that much CP3, but his defense was pretty good.

I think a lot of the players were surprised at how strong he was, like when he plowed Ray Allen, and checked LeBron for a few plays.

[RJM]

Excellent finish! I'm glad the DVD I was using to record the game managed to last long enough to get the whole thing....why is Lebron's MVP annoying me?

[RJM]

I'm going over it again.....Ray Allen FTW!

[Gordon Bombay]

Jesus, will you people stop acting like LeBron is the first person to ever play 30+ minutes in an all-star game? It happens all the time, and it really happened all the time in the old days...look:

86-87:

Moses: 35
Bird: 35
Magic: 34
Dr. J: 33
McHale: 30

87-88:

Magic: 39
Malone: 33
Bird: 32
Lafayeete Lever(I don't even remember this guy): 31
Dominique: 30

88-89:

MJ: 33
Isiah: 33
Stockton: 32

90-91:

MJ: 36
Barkley: 35
Ewing: 30
Malone: 31

91-92

MJ: 31

92-93

MJ: 36
Barkley: 34
Isiah: 32
Stockton: 31

93-94

Pippen: 31
Hakeem: 30

94-95:

Penny Hardaway: 31
Pippen: 30

I'm no LeBron apologist, I'm not even a Cavs fan, I'm just a realist. Now stop crying about LeBron playing 30+ minutes.

That is all.

dwight howard even played more minutes than lebron last night

[RJM]

I feel Moon should have merely taken off from the line with no help, instead of bringing in props. Landing a dunk from that distance by itself is sick, wicked and nasty on its own. He overdid it and I expect a Dwight Howard-like comeback next year.

How did Yao Ming, a voted starter, play less than Roy, Paul, Nowitzski, Stoudamire, Nash, Boozer, and West?

The East were playing run and gun most of the game, Yao was too slow to keep up.

[magicfan4life05]

because the east was going on the break scoring and he couldnt keep up, but in general he does get a lot of disrespect...

[MagicMadness]

You've gone ahead and added a link, but yeah, I was going to say that I read that Yao didn't want to play too many minutes last night.

FEBRUARY 17: Jason Kapono of the Toronto Raptors breaks the Guinness World Record for most three-point shots in two minutes with 43 baskets on center court during NBA Jam Session Presented by Adidas at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center February 17, 2008 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Does anyone have video of this?

[Tom Baker]

Here's the link to the thread on the Raptors board.

I have no idea if the video was posted, but that's your best shot.

Hopefully they're still in NO, and don't mind going deep into luxury tax territory

Bird Rights > you

stop listening to those homer ass announcers you got in Portland, they don't know what the they're talking about.

[Datruth345]

simple

Yao looked horrible when he was on the court

[Texas Longhorns]

How about that Haier commercial?

[Texas Longhorns]

Noooo! All-Star weekend is officially over and I don't want to stop watching. Man they should consider making it longer. Extending it to Monday (since it is President's Day) and starting on Thursday. The Jam Session is still there until Monday but they should have like something else to add to this weekend. Overall it is great, but for me it's too short.

Dwyane Wade just laughs at Dirk when he's on the floor. Good god does he own him.

I have been asked by the higher ups to lock this thread.... if you so wish please make another thread about this topic if you want to continue the discussion
