    They went overboard this year. I liked how the west didn't show boat as much.

    It's not for the decrepit fans, it's for the new hip and cool fans.

    Yeah I thought this was one of the best ASG lineup intros I've ever seen.

    lol whats with all the critics & crab asses lately, in the recessionary dumps?

    I'll admit I wouldnt ever expect Bill Russell to showboat. But over extravegent showmanship has been around since the 60's ABA days.

    Did you like the "personality" exhibited by the 3 point contestants & Derrick Rose? Good lord...that was like Carson Daly compared to Shaq's Conan O'Brien

    Seriously, this ASG is one of the more structured ones I've seen. Not seeing what you're describing

    I totally agree with the OP. They should also outlaw dunks and any type of fancy crossover dribbling. It's a disgrace to the legacy of the game.

    I was referring to the intros. I don't remember this much dancing during the intros in the past games. I'm not talking only about Shaq, what irritated me the most was the starting 5 of the East. Also, the flashy stuff during the game has been customary since the 70's, I'm not complaining about that.

    WTH, I thought they already got the gold medal in Beijing with a flag raise ceremony.
