Zanshadow is just a prude. :)

There were many talented players that gone team cancer. He's right on that track.

He's an idiotic kid who's not cool. Haven't u all got experience in dealing with stupid kids like that? Pops up in the basketball court acting thuggish and demanding while playing. Sometimes causing fights. And it's not like I hate all idiots. In fact I like Ron Artest, Oakley, Rodman and such who are unique and can back themseleves up in many ways. But this kid... just pure arrogance. I don't think he'd have done what he did if he was with someone like Phil Jackson, Shaq, or even Sheed. He wants respect? Then quit bitching and prove with ur talent. This guy's a headache. Perhaps it'll change later in his career, but first impression is shit.

You must be picked on by 'these kinds of kids' if you are lobbying so hard for people to dislike him. :lol:

Loved every second of the game. Sick dunks and a somewhat competitive ending. Good stuff.

I always mistaken Kevin Harlan to be Marv Albert for some reason.

Fun game. Not a whole lot of defense as is the norm but the way I see it, that's what the regular season and Playoffs are for. It's an exhibition with a pickup game-type atmosphere, so I don't mind it turning into a dunk fest at all. Entertaining stuff but so much for my predictions.

Cousins was certainly determined to shine. One might say he was having some fun in the limelight and trying to put on a show, but if we're to call a spade a spade then it was a pretty blatant MVP chase. It made for some highlights though, so I say so be it; Wall ended up with the hardware anyway. I'd say the alley-oop to Griffin off the bounce has to be the play of the game.

Did someone pop in NBA Live 06 for this game? I love those compilation videos like that, especially since they included the last dunk.

It was a great game, with all the dunks, and basically every possession was like a fast break, very fun to watch. Hope the All-Star game is just as good, if not, better. :)

That was fun to watch. I didn't get to see too much, but Blair's dunk was amazing, unfortunately I never saw Blake take the court at all. :(

What are you talking about Thierry? Badger is 100% right in this instance. You heard me correct. I agree with Badger. I've always thought that the Rookie Challenge is a lot more interesting & fun than the All-Star Game :cool:

For once, I agree with Badger. That's some true sh8. The Rookie Challenge games are a lot more exciting. John Wall 22 asts!!! C'mon bro no performance in the all-star topped that. I think the rookies and sophmores have a lot more to prove than the all-stars whereas the all-stars don't because they're already all-stars.

LeBron got a triple double, only the second time that's been done in the history of the All-Star game.
