I like the "GEICO" competition, that might be the most interesting competition of the night.

Wow, I REALLY like the sophs team. Of course, Aaron and Luis, tough I can't imagine Luis being thrilled to play in that kind of even. Of course, Durant( always knew he would be my favorite player the second Tmac would retire..did not except to happen this season tough) . And I like also very much Horford, Jeff Green , Thadd Young and Wilson Chandler. Only guy I don't like much is Al Thornton. Good team there, Rookie Challenge could be fun.

Lol...at Magic saying Drexler will be a player coach on the court.

Oden is not playing in the rookie/sophmore game tonight.

Dan Majerle should replace Mo Scrub Williams

do any of you know where i could stream tonight's stuff online?

Easily the worst and most boring All-Star Saturday in recent memory. Terrible announcers, terrible events, terrible judges. At least they didn't hand the dunk competition to Dwight, even though they clearly tried to with his unearned 50's.

I'm glad I missed it.

Yeah, your lucky, I wasted 3 hours of my life.

Mines too. Worst ALL-Star Saturday I have ever seen. I hope the all-star game will be better.

I usually don't even bother watching the actual game. I might tune in to some of it, off and on, but I never really pay it much attention. It's the Saturday night events I usually enjoy, and this year was just a waste of time. I blame Milk Dud head for being an idiot and driving drunk!

Will LBJ make it entertaining next year?

This was the worse in recent years.

IMO I think guys like Lebron and Kobe should be forced at gunpoint to participate.

Can you imagine a dunk contest with Lebron, Kobe, Dwight, um.....others....

..and a 3-pt contest with Ray Ellen, Dirk, Peja, Kapono, etc...

..maybe it'd be worthwhile then.

And for the love of Buddha, don't let Reggie and Kenny be the main guys anymore.

Why haven't they hand LeBron the 2010 dunk contest award? The guy drew more attention than the actual dunk contest.

The media can't stay off his jock.

i feel bad for Yao this high flying fast pace stuff is not his game.. its painful to watch...

lol @ Rashard Lewis trying to guard Shaq.

I want to put the NOD icon in size 500 and 800 rpm, but it won't let me, so

Didn't watch a thing this weekend, given the rampant scripting that happened, very glad I didn't.

What are the odds... that with all the KOBE KOBE SHAQ SHAQ SHAQ AND KOBE SHAQ AND KOBE media hype lately... that the co-mvp and shots taken thing was planned and just crossing fingers for Shaq to hit them. Makes for a good storyline, and the NBA is as about that almost as much as WWF.

UNFORTUNATELY, Scripted NBA <<<<<<<<<< *
**** off, Stern. You've lost your touch, stop ruining everything.

If Shaq is "The Big Cactus" then Yao would be "The Big Putz". Regardless of the pace Yao couldn't compete. What a loser with no creativity. Look at Shaq.. He ran and he did his thing and he weighs 45lbs more.. Screw Yao..
