    Agreed.

    Billups, TP, Mo Williams, and Devin Harris are all great players but are putting me to sleep. They don't have the streetball creativity for this setting.

    Was watching the 1988 and 1998 games and the bench players still had fun superstars so the game was fun the whole time.

    There is a huge dropoff in this game when they go to the bench.

    nate robinson wiped the floor with dwight howard. what's your point?

    we're talking about the actual all-star game.

    2 on 1 Kobe and Amare and it ends in a fouled layup attempt.

    T-mac had the higher score in the 1st round.

    The last round Francis beat him but don't see how it wasn't close considering the scores were close.

    Maybe you got Vince Carter confused with Steve.

    He's a great one. Funny thing is, he can score like an iverson if he wanted to, but he always looks to get his team mates shots first. He's a PG that can really control the flow of a game.

    you can't be seriously comparing nate robinson vs Dwight this year.. to Steve Francis duking it out with Vince Carter.. nevermind Tracy..

    my point was/is that Steve was much more exciting in his play.. in the dunk contest and in the all-star game..

    how many rebounds does paul have? it seems like he's getting a bunch. and he's fun just to watch dribble.

    Kobe Bryant is such a ball hog. 13 shot attempt already. Man at least give 4 of those to Ming.

    exactly. i like players like him who can play the "fun" game in games like these or play fundamental basketball. too bad we only have a few of those in this league.

    they both played for the rockets so it's pointless for me to argue. it's great that you believe that. steve did bring good memories.

    Please stop asking Kobe how does it feel to play with Shaq. And Vice Versa.

    he's a top 3 player and easily the most valuable player in this league in terms of pure value. he could go down as one of the top 2 PGs of all time if he keeps improving.
