    James Harden seems like such a talented player, if possibly only there was not an inept coaching staff that might rely on him too much during the game.

    I would have been okay with a halftime performance of just the dancers. There was a dancer from each team. Having an exclusive super-up-close half time performance of just the nba dancers in multiple outfits would have been so beautiful and pure entertainment.

    Sting was fun, brought back memories from 16 years ago when his single Desert Rose came out - which was a huge hit. But I don't get why the NBA would pick him for an all start halftime show. I'm pretty sure they did it because Sting said he'd do it for any amount of money.

    I couldn't bare to watch the 2nd half. I want to watch the best players compete. Without competition, the all star game really is a joke. Now I don't want guys to take each other out and get injured, but at least play with some pride and competitiveness please.

    Year 2000

    Sting

    Desert Rose

    I just did some googling and he was 48 when that song came out, and he looked good for his age at 48 - I honestly thought he was in his late 20's early or 30's. Wow.

    There were couple of games in the past when Kobe went nuts and defended, and won the ASG MVP on purpose.

    Not everyone is onboard tho

    the baseball all star game sucks too bro. There are too many substitutions therefore by the end of the game only the worst players are playing.

    I honestly thought Neyo and Nelly Furtado were going to perform the halftime
    show? I read it somewhere. I guess I was wrong.

    Lol that first line makes no sense. It says most pts in a half 92 and most pts in a game 196. Clearly the west scored 104 in second half which means it should say 104 and 196...

    Durant just said he is a head coach material.

    Does not work out a lot in the offseason, draw up plays, smart but not a great athlete

    Tune out JBB and McHale, make his own ISO plays. Perfect James, it is on you to coach the team to a championship!

    We all know Harden was just stealing Lin's plays.

    How did the dancers not have any exclusive TV dance time?

    I was expecting AT LEAST ONE 5-10 minute performance with all the 30 dancers... sigh.
