Kobe and Shaq as Co-MVPs. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

hello set-up.

The NBA has just become "The Hills" (MTV reality show) with this BS all star weekend.

Shaq played 11 minutes. **11 MINUTES**

Completely ridiculous.

I feel like an asshole for watching this stuff all weekend.

The NBA embarrasses me quite a bit to be honest.

Looking forward to getting back to our little corner of the world were we actually like basketball and don't need capes and phone booths and celebrities and BFF's sharing trophies.

I'm an NBA fan, but this weekend shows why i love college ball way more then NBA ball.

 

[crowTrobot]

roy plays more than any other player.... Phil Jackson was trying to injure him

he had to limit the minutes on certain players and roy was the best option to fill in.

DISSAPOINTING sums up the nba allstar weekend.

Shaq played 11 minutes. **11 MINUTES**

Completely ridiculous.

Well, he did have 17 pts, 5 boards, 3 assists, and 1 block in those 11 measly minutes, and his team was +21 during that time. Hardly insignificant, in my opinion.

Speaking of which, is Joe Johnson's stat line possibly the worst ever? 21 minutes, 0-4 shooting, 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, and 5 turnovers! -24 +/- to boot.

I was at work when the All Star game was on, so I watched the replay when I got home.

I don’t know, it was a bit meh.

Roy threw down a few good dunks, but didn’t really look interested in the game. Got lots of playing time though. I have a feeling every coach in the league loves him. Let’s face it what coach wouldn’t? He looked absolutely stuffed by the end of the game. [tinfoilhat]Perhaps Phil was trying to screw us by wearing him out.[/tinfoilhat]

Kobe, what a chucker. It’s the All Star game! You’re supposed to share it around.

LeBron getting the superstar calls even in the All Star game. No-one even touched him as he travelled his way to the rim, and the refs send him to the line.

What’s up with the presentation of the rings at half time? What a self indulgent wank fest. Meaningless trinkets made to make the NBA seem somehow involved in the Olympics. The gold medals are the representation of their hard work, and efforts; not these pieces of crap. I’d give mine away if I was them.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I predict Roy will have 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists.

I was pretty close. He had 14, 5, & 5.

Man, watching that game... I'm starting to lean toward CP3 being the best player inthe NBA or at least right up there w/ LeBron... CP3 is unreal, I think he was the best player on the floor last night.

 

[MrJayremmie]

Apparently on the ESPN conversatioin forum of the AS game there have been a couple people (non blazer fans) who think Roy should have been the West MVP. And everyone is incredibly complimentary of Roy... I love him, man. All the time he was in my eyes were just locked on him... he is sooo damn good... I think he can easily be a 27, 6 and 5 player in his prime.

Hopefully four dunks in the All-Star game will make him more popular than 10th most voted guard in one conference, at least more popular than Rafer Alston or Jamal Crawford.
