4 assists in 5 minutes

And LeBron James aka Abraham Lincoln was pretty mad they lose the game ;] Another game another lose ;D But keep trying. He can win something at age of 50

Eh, its only the All-star game. With all said and done Lebron will finish with 5 to 6 rings.

That Nash pass was sick. He saw his man even with him around half court, took a few more steps to watch the defense, and let it rip. almost a half court bounce pass through two defenders.

Five minutes in the game sucks for a guy that could have easily had fifteen assists, since he didn't care to shoot at all. I would have also like to have seen him get some minutes with Dirk, considering they are buddies. But KD gets 37 minutes and Kobe 35 minutes? At least give the guys ten minutes each unless they are injured like Bynum was. Westbrook got 28 minutes off the bench. Brooks could have given eight of those minutes to Nash?

The getting out of the way to allow dunks sucks to watch for me. I like to see an actual game going on where guys pride themselves on both ends. It is tough to watch only a few guys playing their best at both ends. I did like Paul bouncing the ball off of LeBron's back, and Wade bloodying Kobe's face. After that, I was hoping for a brawl, and then watching Stern forgive everyone and say he would let it slide because it was an Allstar game.

LOL! Would have been better though if you put the troll face on the Monroe or whoever as soon as he stole the ball and put a FFFFFFFFUUUUU face on John Wall

THE BEST ONE YET!!!

HAHA THAT IS CLASSIC

Laughed my ass off at that, genius

I don't get why Nash even bothers to show up knowing he'll get no more than 5 minutes. Why not stay at home then saying he is sore or something?

I don't think Nash or the Suns organization wanted him playing more than 5 minutes. He seemed to enjoy his time not only on the floor, but also cheering from the bench.

Wade broke Kobe's nose!

Anyone notice when they introduced the East starters DRose was the only one that was not smiling

LBJ, Melo, DHoward and DWade all seemed to have great chemistry.. they were joking and laughing and putting on a show for the fans.. and DRose was acting like he was better than all of them.

I could care less about the all-star game but if they are going to hold it then I would like watching players that actually enjoyed being there. I dont know if its the lockout or what but this year absolutely sucked!!!

Perhaps there is no love loss.... I'll call it 'old school' over your assumption.

Well, for those who didn't see it, it was Nash himself who decided to limit his minutes.

Not because of injury or anything, but because he is the classiest guy in the league and told Scott Brooks he was fine with getting limited minutes to help give the younger guys more time to play together.

Nash is unfortunately a dying breed of athlete in the NBA, its going to be crushing when/if he retires.

Nothing wrong with Rose. He's a bit of an introvert.

[grumpysaddle]

Lebron looked like a total moron with the way he was walking, and that hilarious look on his face. I would have done the same if I was Rose.

And lol at Kobe getting a broken nose/concussion in an All-Star game. Not making fun of the injury, just funny, cause I can't stand him.
