Really like the look of the West starters this year.

Never noticed this thread lol

Looking forward to the All Star Weekend!

My money is on the West

Also a couple Spurs for me to watch in the other events, Parker to defend his skills challenge title and Bonner in the 3pt challenge


Irving is starting in Rondo's place right?

Let's go All Star West!

I don't know, with MJ's 50th Birthday buzz and Kobe's career closing out, I can see him wanting to "star" in this game. Just a feeling.

Homerism activated.

Lillard wins the skills challenge
Irving the 3pt one (matt bonner runner up)

Some pretty cool dunks in the Slam Dunk Contest....Ross (Raptors) won it

 

[HowHigh]

Was a pretty good game
Chris Paul mvp imo
I enjoyed the Kobe vs Lebron 4th quarter duel...Kobe owned Lebron lol

I think the Jordan comments fueled that mini battle, I know it was just an all star game but still good to see Kobe come out on top!!

 

[@MarTiger]

Kobe did what I suspected he would do late - he made a bit of a statement taking on the challenge of guarding LeBron coming up with two massive blocks. Durant said he can't recall anyone doing that to LeBron...THE Black Mamba struck.

Funnily enough he also called out LeBron last year when he failed to take the last shot.

Also enjoyed watching Bosh get owned twice lol (can't find a gif for when Parker did it)

 

[@MarTiger]

How good is Chris Paul? Seriously. So skilled, a magician at the best of times let alone putting him in a Western All-Stars team where defensive effort is narrowed down the 4Q.

On Bosh, he threw up a couple air balls early. There were a couple good face shots of KG who was riding the bench at the time.
