My guess: EAST 110 WEST 101
MVP: Gilbert Arenas

I know there are plenty of hoops fans out there. http://www.nba.com

Congrats on your 5000th post, man!!

I know NOTHING about sports, though, so I can't contribute much here.

Wouldn't it be great if Saunders puts this 5 on the floor:

PG: Chauncy Billups
SG: Richard Hamilton
SF: Dwayne Wade
PF: Rasheed Wallace
C: Ben Wallace


The team that could have been....if it wasn't for lame ass Darko (good-bye floppy!)

I know one thing. They'd better induct Dominique Wilkins into the hall of fame this time around.


MVP? Kobe will probably go for it.

Yeah Darko was Joe Dumar's only mistake as far as Im concerned. Im glad he's been traded.

How do you guys vote/figure out who the game's MVP is?

Is it decided via a public vote, fellow-professionals or esteemed sports journalists?

Chauncey had NOTHIN yesterday in the shootout Or was it the skills challenge? Whatever, he was shit but still cute

The NBA decides. Fans dont get to vote on this one.

He didnt even advance to the 2nd round. I was very disapointed. I started rooting for Ray Allen, then he lost too.

I won!! No one else bothered to post a final score. Its almost tip off!

117-111 west over the east.

nash could set up marion for a go at MVP, but if not, maybe kobe.
