All-Star Game Notes, 1st Half

Here's some notes on the first half of the NBA All-Star Game:
  • Wes Unseld Jr. looks a bit like Chris Tucker.

  • Starting lineups: Tim Duncan looks excited to be there

  • KOBE! starts off the scoring

  • Dwyane Wade answers back

  • KOBE! with a nice dunk and Wade answers right back, finishing off an oop

  • I hope Jason Kidd throws a cookie at someone during tonight's game.

  • 6 minutes in and Dwight Howard throws down a big dunk, I'm kind of expecting him to have a David Lee like night with all his points coming on dunks.

    Next time down Howard misses a short jumper, whatever.

  • Carmelo with the jumper, still my MVP pick. Everyone knows he should have been voted in as a starter and definitely should have been picked as a reserve, but it took the commish to get him on the roster. I think all the players on the west are going to make an effort to get him the ball so he can make a push for MVP.

  • Lebron, air-ball, sit down.

  • Memo Okur's goatee looks like a chinstrap.

  • Vince Carter spins and dunks in the lane, nice, he should do that more often. Just one man's opinion though.

  • Tony Parker with the short jumper over Dwight Howard, I'm surprised that didn't get swatted into the fourth or fifth row.

  • 39-31 West after 1.

  • That Dwyane wade Gatorade commercial with the heads over each of his shoulders is great. Just letting you know.

  • Ray Allen, wet.

  • Rip Hamilton streaking down the court gets a good pass from teammate Chauncey Billups for a dunk.

  • Ray Allen, wet again.

  • Shaq misses a dunk, gets it back, dunks it, then kisses Tracy McGrady on the side of the head. Literally. Seriously. Gotta love Shaq.

  • The west is on fire from behind the arc in the second quarter

  • Tony Parker brought his jumpshot with him to Vegas.

  • Gotta love Marv Albert and Steve Kerr doing the game. Is there a better announcing team in all of sports?

  • Nice give and go in transition between Carmelo and Tony Parker.

  • Joe Johnson with a 3 with a minute left in the first half. Good to see him finally find his way on to the team, he deserves it. And I'm not just saying that because he's on my fantasy team. Or am I?

  • 79-59 West at the half. KOBE! early front runner for MVP with 18 in the first half. Melo has 12.
