A LEGEND IS BORN II

[Fresh8]

The Nuggets or Melo never get their due respect

Billups in an All-Star.

Melo very unlucky he is in the same conference as Durant and Chara.

Congrats on the win. Really glad you kept Ty.

I got two former All-Stars (Kidd, Wallace), two current ones (Bogut, Durant) and one future one (Ty) on this team.

[Martti.]

Team's doing great, me an All-Star - everything's great in Memphis. (In this association, not in real life. )

[Valor]

woah, didn't see this coming....Sheed coming to Seattle, wonder how that'll work out

You reckon Chara will come play for the Irish? I think we need somebody like him

Btw, I notice that you didn't respond to my earlier insight:

I think eventually Durant & Tyson will become best buddies. Just like Kobe hating on Bynum & Jordan dogging Pippen. If Tyson delivers then they'll be fine.

Don't know about Sheed, but don't like Green either.

Did I hit on a future plot line?

Loving that Steele & Gray made All-Star teams in only their 2nd & 1st seasons respectively. You're definitely getting some strong draft classes coming through

1. Chara would come and be a 1-man team called the Moses Chara's and beat all the team 1 v 5
2. Not a future plot line. Durant and Tyson won't be best buddies... well the relationship is dynamic... depends on how the team plays and that affects how the story changes. So they could become best buddies. Who knows?
3. Steele is a young JKidd while Gray is a young Tim Duncan.
4. Do you like my new avatar and sigs? lol

4. Do you like my new avatar and sigs? lol

Not really to tell you the truth Preferred the ones over at Lamrock's thread. Get one with Chara face to face with Kevin Durant on it

The Steve Nash one is gold. I hope he uses it

Nothing new on the ASG starter. "DJ" Schmidt is a special one. I guess it stands for Dieter-Jürgen

[Lamrock]

Cool seeing Bogut make the all-star game. What are his averages?

[kibaxx7]

Sorry man I couldn't post before, missed some quite updates... congrats to Martti making the ASG, the Sheed acquisition and Ty scoring 29!

What's Dieter-Jurgen???

Cool seeing Bogut make the all-star game. What are his averages?

ummm like 12 ppg, 7 rpg... really bad but he made the team the last three years now...

Sorry man I couldn't post before, missed some quite updates... congrats to Martti making the ASG, the Sheed acquisition and Ty scoring 29!

As long as you've seen them now.

Martti is a beast, Sheed is a bigger beast, and Ty is the man!

King James Takes The Crown And Game

Preview | Box Score | Recap


LeBron James: The King

15 Feb, 2011

NEW YORK (AP) – After consecutive quiet All-Star Games LeBron James decided that he would buck the trend. “I couldn’t do this (not make an impact) three times in a row. I decided to turn it up a little,” James said in his podium interview after the game.

The Cleveland Cavaliers star and regining league MVP proved that he is the best player in the game as he scored 35 points and added 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 steals. The Eastern Conference All-Stars trailed for parts of the game but still always looked in control, simply because they had James on their side. After the game the coach of the Eastern Conference, Maimi Heat’s Erik Spoelstra, stated, “No one was more composed and focussed than LeBron. That’s why he was able to command the ball and make things happen.”

The East started the game off strong with a 12-2 run midway through the first period. The Western Conference would come back strong in the second quarter and the first half ended with the teams seperated by just 2 points. Kobe Byrant was brilliant in the second quarter as he scored 14 of his 17 points.

The game was a see-sawing affair for much of the second half, which saw plenty of lead changes. The East’s Dwight Howard scored all of his points in the second half including a number of rim rocking dunks that brought the crowd to their feet. Howard’s shot blocking prowess was also on display as he swatted 6 shots, some of them late in the final quarter as the East built up a double digit lead.

The Eastern All-Stars turned the game around in the middle of the final period as they went on a scoring tear and opened up a 16 point lead with just 4 minutes remaining. That was when Sacaramento Kings and self-proclaimed league MVP Moses Chara stepped up to the plate and delivered an amazing display of shooting. After struggling for much of the game, Chara knocked in three straight long range shots. The score, which was sitting at 107-91, was bumped up to 107-100 with a little over a minute remaining.

Chris Paul would then force a turnover from East G Gilbert Arenas but was swatted by Howard at the other end. On the following inbounds play, Kevin Durant would slice the East lead to 5 points with 43.7 seconds left. The West were once again proficient on the other end, forcing James into a tough shot but watched on as Chara missed a wide open three with the shot clock winding down.

Chris Bosh went to the free throw line with 12.3 seconds left to seal the game with two free throws, extending the East’s lead to 7, the score 109-102.

Chara finished with a team leading 21 points from off the bench. The forward watched on as LeBron James received All-Star MVP honours and was seen saying something to team mate Kobe Bryant. Bryant later revealing Chara had said one word, “Overrated.” Bryant finished with 17 points, 5 assists, Kevin Durant added 14 points, while Chris Paul kept his side in the game as he put up 11 points and 17 assists.

James produced 35 for the East, Howard added 14, and Sixers F Andre Iguodala scored 13. Gilbert Arenas and Chris Bosh each had 7, while debutants Barney Steele and Jay Gray had 6 apiece.

Notes: The Western Conference’s Monta Ellis and Joe Johnson were the only players not to score during the game… After the game, LeBron James weighed into the debate about Team USA teammate Carmelo Anthony’s snub from the Western Conference team, “I’m saddened that Melo did not get to play. Chauncey was here but Melo wasn’t. Chauncey is a great player but Melo deserved to be here ahead of him. I’m not saying take Billups off that team, they play different positions. Melo deserved to be here instead of some of the guys.” The Denver Nuggets are currently in third place for the Western Conference and Anthony is averaging a team leading 23 ppg… Last year’s All-Star MVP Yao Ming had a quiet game, finishing with 10 points and 5 rebounds. The Chinese C later stated, “It was good to have a break. Houston is not doing so well so it’s nice for a break”… Allen Iverson , who started and made his 11th All-Star appearance, was not happy after the game due to lack of playing time. “I’m not a sub, I felt disrespected. I was voted in to play not to sit on the bench”…

Damn I would be pissed if I made the all-star game and didn't play. Ellis and Johnson got screwed. Bogut seems to be the white Magloire. Also, I'm using your sig. Definite frontrunner in the contest. Most say I'm not really feeling your ALIB ones, but I like how accessible they are.

Ellis and Johnson got to play, they missed a couple of shots each. So they did get to play.

Bogut is awesome lol He's had more appearances than Magloire and he's been on both East and West teams.

I don't know, I sorta like the look but I'm changing it now anyways.

EDIT: What do you think was the better look?

Nothing new on the ASG starter. "DJ" Schmidt is a special one. I guess it stands for Dieter-Jürgen

What's Dieter-Jurgen??

Just making fun of the fact that 2k kind of screws it up with the names. Schmidt is like classic german. But we dont have any names like DJ, PJ, AJ etc..... Dieter and Jürgen are two old school german first names.

Nice game by LeBron and sweet comment by Chara Durant wasnt bad either. It's really cool that you come to the playoff race now!

[Martti.]

Damn, if I had played more, we would have won.

Dieter-Jurgen Schmidt. =) Thanks for that

And yeah man... playoff race... if I can stay with the pack! haha

Damn, if I had played more, we would have won.

You played a lot of minutes, I controlled the West. Let's just say you were shit...

Just kidding man... but when you have Kobe, Kevin, and Moses, you don't get any shots... especially in an All-Star game...

Lebron owned the show.
I Always get pissed when i see a title ''King James''.

I Don't know,i just Hate Bron so much.
He's probably the best there is right now,but all the marketing is making me sick.

I don't like him either. He's not a good sport, no matter what everyone says to defend him.

[Lamrock]

Yeah, he's the best player in the world, maybe better, but throwing Mo Williams under the bus after they lost in 2009 was a bitch move. Still like him better than Wade though.

I like Melo the best out of their draft. Liked him since he was a rookie. Just lot smoother game. Melo is the man

I mean... I love Durant "Please don't hurt me Kevin!!!"
