Sunday's All-Star Game was awesome plain and simple. Some people I know (Mike T.) hate the All-Star Game with every fiber in their being but I love it. I don't compare it to the Pro Bowl because it is not at the end of the season. Plus the NBA markets stars more than any other sport so it is great to see the best of the best come out for one night and just play loose and have fun. And for that reason, seeing Kobe and Shaq take home co-MVP was the perfect ending.
8 Years ago, Shaq proclaimed the two the biggest big-man little man combo in the history of the game. It was sad to see everything break up the way it did and the way the media over-hype every little move. Despite me being the biggest Kobe fan, I still never disliked Shaq post-L.A. To me he's by far the best entertainer in the game.
Final stats for the night: Kobe: 27 Points 4 Boards, 4 Assists and Shaq: 17 points 5 rebounds and one amazing give and go.
Also, great slam dunk contest. Nate deserved the crown...bottom line he won over the crowd in the 2nd round more than Superman. But I still contest that the dunk off of the side of the rim was the best of the night.
Max has already posted the greatest moment of the weekend. Simply put, Shaq is awesome. From Kazamm, to Scrabble, to his dance moves, he is awesome.
