Did anybody else watch?
The Sophomores, not surprisingly, beat the Rookies on Friday.
On Saturday, Phoenix won the Shooting Stars competition, Steve Nash won the skills challenge (setting the fastest time through it ever), and Quentin Richardson won the 3-point contest, setting the stage for a possible all-Phoenix sweep of the preliminary contests.
However, Josh Smith stole the dunk contest from Amare Stoudemire (although he didn't go without a fight, Amare had some SICK dunks), and nobody can say Smith didn't deserve it.
Today, Sunday, the big competition took place: the All-Star game. I beleive this was the player's answer all the doubters, who said that today's game wasn't team-oriented, that players had become too self-obsessed, and that nobody wanted to pass. Nobody scored more than 17 points, and at times the teams over-passed, and a balanced attack made it hard to choose an MVP. Despite the low individual scores, the East scored 125 points, beating the West by 10. It was pure, fun basketball, and I'm sure nobody was disappointed. It was very difficult to pick an MVP, but Allen Iverson took top honors.
