3 Point Shootout: 5 points - CANCELLED DUE TO CRASHES

Rookies Rallied Late, but Sophomores Prevailed in closing seconds

Yi Jianlian had a monstrous dunk on two rookies with 23.7 seconds left to ice the game for the Sophomore Allstars, winning 120-117 in a thrilling game on Friday Night here in Phoenix; Yi led the Sophomore Team with 31 points and 11 rebounds to take home the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge Most Valuable Player trophy.

Rookie Derrick Rose led the rookies with 18 points and 12 assists, followed closely by OJ Mayo's game leading 36 point performance and Beasley's 13 points, 18 rebounds, and made a big run in the 3rd quarter after trailing by as many as 29 at the half to tie the game in the 4th, but it was not enough as they could not stop the 7 foot New Jersey Net Yi Jianlian from dunking the game winner on their heads.

It was a high scoring game, and nobody was really playing any defense, besides rookie Greg Oden, who had 5 blocks in 18 minutes of play, 2 of which were on last year's rookie of the year Kevin Durant, whom was picked AFTER Oden in last year's draft, Oden missed an opportunity to compete with Durant for the Rookie of the Year honors due to microfracture surgery, and took his chance to remind Durant of that fact on Friday Night.

Gerald Green Is Slam Dunk Champ, Again
After One Year away from the title, Gerald Green has returned and captured it once again, with a thrilling showdown against the former back to back Slam Dunk Champion Jason Richardson in the final round. After Easily knocking out newcomers Horford and Wright with 2 perfect dunks each, both tried to do the impossible of the impossibles, having to resort to their replacement dunks, and in the end, the 2 time champ came up short against the young and athletic Green, and lost the chance for a 3rd title by a mere 4 points.

James Wins 3rd All Star Game MVP Award After Spectacular Performance

Lebron James had an unreal, near quadruple double performance with 34 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 8 steals, and 2 blocks as he led the Eastern Conference All Stars to a 2 point win over the Western All Stars, with a one handed throwdown with 2.4 seconds left on the clock, winning the game for the East, 150 to 148.

The East had led by as many as 37 before Kobe Bryant turned his game on and hit 7 straight 3 pointers to rally the West back, and with help from Allen Iverson, who ended the game with 27 points, they eventually tied the game with 11 seconds to go in the 4th, that was when James made his move and sealed the game away for good.

The Home Town Representative, Amare Stoudemire, had 15 points and 6 rebounds in 21 minutes of play, and miraculously went 2 of 2 from the three point line, the crowd were on their feet every time he had the ball, cheering their star on. Last year's dunk champ Dwight "Superman" Howard decided to not participate in the dunk contest on Saturday Night, and he made up for it by delivering another Superman Dunk, this time, it was in the game, which was far more impressive then it was during the dunk contest, minus the cape.

For the 2nd Straight Year, and the 3rd Time in his short career, James has won the All Star MVP Honors

I like the sign of PJ Brown. Def give him some minutes??

[Valor]

I like the sign of PJ Brown. Def give him some minutes??

of course, thats why i signed him
i needed a better backup for shaq anyways, also, i lack depth up front..my backup big's stamina runs out pretty quick, so he fits perfectly in my rotation

[Mandich]

Hmm, I never liked PJ Brown. But if he brings something to your team, good for you. I also like the season leaders template

[Valor]

Hmm, I never liked PJ Brown. But if he brings something to your team, good for you. I also like the season leaders template

well, since Alonzo would not accept a minimum offer, i had to sign Brown, he's more versatile anyways.

Just a quick update, i am now locked in the playoffs after crossing the 50 win barrier Playoffs Preview Coming As Soon as i finish the season!!

[Fresh8]

Very detailed. Nice work!

[Valor]

Assist: Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs (9.9)
Steal: Yuta Tabuse, Charlotte Bobcats (2.27)
Block: Roy Hibbert, Indiana Pacers (3.17)


Playoffs Preview


Dallas (1) vs Houston (8)
Regular Season Matchup: Dallas Leads 3-1
ESPN Prediction: Mavericks win 4-1
Notes: Dallas has Dirk, 64 wins, Houston has the T-Mac Curse, enough said...

Denver (4) vs LA Clippers (5)
Regular Season Matchup: Clippers Leads 3-1
ESPN Prediction: Clippers win 4-3
Notes: Denver's Season is boosted by Iverson's hunger for a championship, and boosted by his MVP caliber stats (Iverson is 5th on R2MVP) Denver would take Baron and the Clippers to game 7, but Defense is the key to victory in a playoffs series, Clippers would come up on top

Golden State (3) vs LA Lakers (6)
Regular Season Matchup: Golden State Leads 3-1
ESPN Prediction: Lakers Win 4-1
Notes: After a terrible start, the talented Lakers made a couple of trades, including trading away Ariza for Dudley and Aiexis from Charlotte, Kobe then exploded after the All Star Weekend, got himself all the way back in the top 5 in R2MVP (2nd behind Lebron James Currently), Pau Recovered from his injury, Lamar is playing well, Lakers look to bounce back strong here and own the Warriors

Phoenix (2) vs New Orleans (7)
Regular Season Matchup: Phoenix Leads 3-1
ESPN Prediction: Phoenix Win 4-2
Notes: CP3 isnt as good as last year, but still holds averages of 23/8, thats same as Nash, the X factor is Amare, who had a great season with averages of 25/10. with Tyson and West having a sub-par season. the Suns should be able to take control of the series

Charlotte (1) vs Orlando (8)
Regular Season Matchup: Tied at 2-2
ESPN Prediction: Charlotte Win 4-2
Notes: Playoffs should not be a problem for the Bobcats as they have players that has had a lot of playoff successes such as Shaq, Ariza, Snow, and the recently signed PJ Brown, Dwight and Lewis would be a problem for Shaq and Beasley but the Bobcats Point Guard Yuta Tabuse should be able to breakthrough these barriers with his court awareness ability and lead the team with tough defense as well.

Detroit (4) vs Washington (5)
Regular Season Matchup: Detroit Leads 2-1
ESPN Prediction: Detroit wins 4-2
Notes: Arenas would be a big issue for the Pistons, but they are a proven playoff team and defeating the Wizards would not be a problem at all

Boston (3) vs Philadelphia (6)
Regular Season Matchup: Tied 1-1
ESPN Prediction: Boston wins 4-0
Notes: Boston, like the Lakers, had a bad start but they were able to bounce back, they should be able to sweep the 76ers in this series as they look to defend their championship

Cleveland (2) vs Miami (7)
Regular Season Matchup: Cleveland Leads 2-1
ESPN Prediction: Cleveland Wins 4-1
Notes: Emeka Okafor, who was acquired from the Bobcats mid-season, would be a defensive threat towards everyone on the Cavs team besides the leading MVP candidate Lebron James, but besides D-Wade, nothing would get through the Cavs defense either, Lebron vs Wade, i'll take the former over the latter on any given day...
