I think the dunk contest was decent...the judges were stupid, but Nate deserved to win it with those dunks. As for Kobe and Shaq winning co-MVP, muufuckaz was ballin!

As for Kobe and Shaq winning co-MVP, muufuckaz was ballin!But the dunks he did in the first round shouldn't have gotten him to the finals. That shit was rigged. Nevermind that reggie miller and kenny smith outright disrespected Rudy Fernandez, Fernando Martin and Spain as a whole. I thought Kobe shoulda got the MVP alone. Shaq was fun to watch and all but if you're talking about MVP, it was easily Kobe. The whole all star weekend was way too big on pageantry and not big enough on substance.

Also, fuck blaming Gasol, his first few passes were on point, behind the back or not. as for Kobe-Shaq winning co-MVP, Shaq deserved it as much as Kobe...he woulda' had 25+ points had he played the 4 quarter and he also had the best move of the game...it woulda been rigged if he wasn't ballin and still got it, but Kobe and Shaq owned that game...PeACe

As far as the co mvp thing, well who knows what would have happened if Shaq played in the 4th, but his performance was not an MVP level performance imo. You could tell Stern just loved the theme of Kobe and Shaq coming together again. I mean all star mvp is really inconsequential, I just don't care for the corniness Stern is injecting into the festivities. Its painfully obvious to me that he is making certain things happen for cosmetic purposes (david vs goliath in the dunk contest, shaq n kobe reunited).

And I dunno if you watched the game, but Shaq was the one who put the west over the top in the 3rd quarter...I wouldn't really shoot that down as "not an MVP level perfomance", but it's whatever.

Well, of course I was pulling for Rudy because he was a Blazer, but I honestly feel that the dunk contest was horribly judged. Even the sports reporters on the news out here said Rudy was robbed (i dont live in oregon). Nate's shit looks cool cause he jumps real high, but its a dunk contest, not a jumping contest. Rudy imo honestly had the most creative dunks of the first round and he ended up with the lowest marks. Smith and Rudy didn't stand a chance though because stern needed his david and goliath match up.

Thats what irks me more than anything. Why even have the "contest?" Just call it the Nate Robinson Slam Dunk Showcase or something but dont insult your audience's intelligence by acting as if it wasn't decided before it even happened. And I don't know if you paid attention, but there was a blatant disrespect for Rudy and Spain as a whole that was just plain embarrassing.

And I don't know if you paid attention, but there was a blatant disrespect for Rudy and Spain as a whole that was just plain embarrassing.^I did notice Reggie Miller talkin shit about Spain...that was funny. LOLbut yea, I don't think this is a case where you can clearly say it was rigged...had Nate's dunks been whack, then yea, you can say it, but shit was close. you can't really call it a fixed result based on what we saw.
^it was pretty obvious right off that bat why he was wearing green and had a green ball with green shoes...LOL. some people are amazingly slow. but yea, he ran into the locker room right away to change because he knew that he'd only lose if Dwight would get a score in the 30s, which wasnt gunna happen. remember, son, you were the one who tried to mock me for my claims that the refs have held a bias against Kobe...these conspiracy theories you're comin up with sound about 20x more ridiculous...calm down...PeACe

All Star weekend likely IS rigged in some respects, but its inconsequential because none of that shit actually matters. You act as though the nba somehow would benefit from conspiring against its biggest star in the 2nd biggest market. That, good sir, makes no god damn sense. But then again you think EVERYONE is out to get Kobe, so whatever.
