All-Star Game Notes, 2nd Half

Here's the second half notes:
  • Halftime show: What's with having people all around the stage on the floor. They do that for the Super Bowl halftime show too. We should just ban halftime shows. Or I could just turn the channel. Too lazy.

  • Second half starts up. Finally.

  • Amare Stoudemire with a backwards layup. Don't wanna say reverse because it wasn't, he was just backwards.

  • TNT shows a graphic saying Eddie Jordan is a native Washingtonian. Don't know how to respond to that one.

  • Craig Sager is doing some sort of Jeep Wrangler commercial/promo thing. Why is the Jeep black? Why can't it match his suit? That's just laziness on the part of Jeep.

  • Gabrielle Union, SMOKING. Had to be in caps.

  • Pick and roll with KOBE! and Amare, nice lob for the layup.

  • Steve Kerr just said "fivesome." Hehe.

  • Carmelo backing down Richard Hamilton. Hamilton keeps putting his hand on Melo's back and Melo keeps swatting it away. Reminds me of the beginning of Above The Rim where Shep is playing on the rooftop against Nutso. Can't wait for Rip to jump off the Thomas & Mack Center.

  • Great pass from Chauncey Billups to Caron Butler, but Butler can't finish.

  • Shawn Marion with a nice windmill dunk all alone. Full extension and he nailed the landing. 10's all around, even the Russian judge.

  • These Sprite LeBron James subliminal message commercials are trippy. I think I need to bum some of those shrooms from the Gonzaga players to understand them.

  • Milk carton: Defense.

  • Eddie Jordan is upset with the East's defense? This is the same guy who coaches the Wizards right?

  • While being interviewed by David Aldridge on the bench, Gilbert Arenas wonders aloud if Caron Butler can make a layup. As long as I wasn't the only one.

  • 119-88 West after three. I'm starting to lose interest.

  • Tony Parker on his wedding, "Eva's doing all the work, I'm just going to show up and say yes." Classic.

  • Dwyane Wade spin, fade-away, off the glass. Sick.

  • KOBE! still gunning for the MVP and I think he's got it.

  • 4 minutes left and it's 140-117 West. This game's over. I can only hope for some nice highlights the rest of the way.

  • That Nike Second Coming commercial still hasn't gotten old yet.

  • KOBE! with an emphatic dunk to finish it off and put the MVP on lock. 152-132 West. Anticlimactic is an understatement.
  • I think David Stern uses the phrase "One star that was brighter than them all" every year when he hands out the MVP.
That's the game. I'm tired, pretty not as tired as the people in Vegas, but tired nonetheless. I'm out.
