Look At the starters in the east: PG Iverson (Where is Kidd) SG Jordan SF Carter PF Walker C Mutombo And the West PG Francis SG Bryant SF Garnett PF Duncan C O'neal The way i see it The west got at every position the best player in the NBA, Even if you think Payton is better than Francis he still plays in the west, maybe you think Nowitzki is better than Garnett, he plays in the west, The West Rules big times. does anybody thinks east wil win?????? Last year they won i agree, but O'neal didn't play. And West showed a lot more, they tryed more ally oops, East where just shooters, I'm looking forward, on the highlight plays of the west, and the only thing i can say about the east is i hope Kidd play's a lot with Carter in the game, because the nba's best passer and the best athlete is a nice thought
well im not disagreeing with you, but everyone said the exact same thing last year, then the west lost
right on Nutcracker. everyone expected the West to stomp the East a new @sshole, but the East played all out. it was definitely one of the best all-star games I've seen.
Iverson/Francis I have to give the edge to Iverson..as great as Francis is, Iverson gets the nod. MJ/Bryant Bryant...MJ is one step too slow and 3 years too old. Carter/Garnett Carter's explosiveness can not be denied..neither can Garnett's versatility. Different players w/ different games...a draw maybe. Walker/Duncan Duncan by a mile. Mutumbo/O'Neal Shaq by two miles.
Steve mentioned in the post-game interview last night how he owed Iverson for that 58 point drubbing.
