Remember when Jordan took 7 fadaways (half of which Shawn Marion blocked) then he finally hit one and everyone was like he's the best. 9-27 in that game.

I like the all-star game to be competitive. I think you can have fun and be competitive. I have enjoyed the last few all-star games.

I don't know about that. Many of those guys either have respect for the NBA players, or have had competitive relationships with them on the playgrounds or in college. In many cases the respect goes both ways. Also, a lot of NBA players appreciate what those guys can do with the basketball and look to steal some of those streetball moves and showcase them in these All Star games.

Competitive and serious, like the one where the east came back with Iverson playing great and Marbury hitting 2 three pointers in the end they came back from a hole I think Larry Brown was the coach, that was the greatest all-star I don't like the exhibition it's boring they look like the Globetrotters sometimes.

If I was ever invited to one I would probably play something like Ron Artest.

And 1 is such a joke...

I prefer the ASG to be serious. I want to know which conf. has the best All-Stars, and watch a game where players are competing to win and not competing to make the next flashy dunk...that's what the dunk contest is for.

It was all Jermaine O'Neal's fault. Kobe wasn't gonna hit that 3. Kobe was having an off game. If he made all his FTs, the West would've won in 2OT, and that last FT that eventually sent the game to 3OT kinda bounced in.

Pretty much the way it is, fun 1st quarter/half, serious 2nd half (although its usually just the last half of the 4th). So if I had to choose, serious.
