It was at this moment the new generation and old generation all played together at their peak. KD, Westbrook, DRose was coming throuhg. Carmelo, LeBron, CP3, Wade was at their peak. Kobe, KG, Duncan, Dirk was at their end of their peak. The NBA era between 2010-2016 was the best
This was the best year in my time watching the NBA. Rose arrival as an MVP, Griffins rookie season, Loves historic rebounding numbers, The Heatles, Blockbuster trades, THAT Brandon Roy game and Dirk winning his ring.
@ GetMoneyIt Exactly. He's from a rough part in Chicago. So everyone saying he's hating on the dancing is wrong , he's just humble and doesn't want to celebrate before they even start the game. He's an excellent player
KG did not make starting lineup because the fans did not vote him in. Also him and Kobe have the same number of all star appearances, KG just started a year before Kobe.
When everyone saw the starting lineups, they thought D.Howard, Stoudamire, Lebron, Wade, Rose were way better than Duncan, Melo, Durant, Kobe, Paul... Before the Heat faced the Mavs, everyone thought Heat were way better. This is why you don't judge the game on physical talent. Skills + Depth always wins vs. just physical talent.
Such simple times Kobe (RIP)was still considered the best Derrick rose was the best pg in the league kd and Westbrook started making a name for themselves and Blake griffin D will and rondo were great in the own right
So this is the fifth time four players are sent to the all-star game..... The last time was the 2006 pistons...... What will happen in the 2012 game in Orlando?
@MagicKirin it's not classless, it's called rivalry, Lakers-Celtics is one of the oldest & heated rivalries in sports, it's like the Yankees & Red Sox, the fans will always boo the other team b/c they despise them
@MagicKirin 1.) are you saying you could've done it any better? 2.) It's Los Angeles. How could you expect L.A. fans to NOT boo the Boston Celtics? I would've done it if I were there, it is impossible to not boo celtics, wherever they are.
@ShidoIkarji26 the west is a lot of has beens like kobe and duncan and the east is a bunch of young exciting guys like lebron, dwight and rose to name a few.
