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
