Airing at 9pm EST on The Score in Canada.

Chris Bosh starts, and all of your favourites (Joe Johnson! Rasheed Wallace! David West!) will suit up to dunk uncontested for 48 minutes.

Hopefully more props are used......joking.


Looking forward to seeing CB4 get the start. He earned it with his great play from christmas on. He really stepped up and showed he belonged to be in New Orleans.

That's a given, Ego James and Wade are both playing. Maybe he'll at least get 5 attempts with Gilbert sitting out.

Chris should just go like a madman on the glass. I don't get why bigmen don't make it their perogative. Go like a madman on the offensive glass. There's a ton of missed shots and easy putbacks and its easy rebounds cause everyone is running down the court instead of grabbing the board.

A guy like Chris or Howard could put up 20/20. They're not going to pass you the ball, so go get their missed shots

Bosh will have 16 points, 8 rebounds on that small East squad.

Yeah all the usual me first ball hogs will be out there making sure to embarrass themselves in the eyes of those who have half a brain. Outside of that it will be great. :roll:

I think West wins by 5, 134-129 and Chris Paul wins MVP.

I hope Bosh swats down Duncan, Yao and Nash.

And by Swat down I mean floor. He will gain the respect of his peers.

moon is definitely overrated in the dunking department. he jumps high, but he never finishes with any authority. his second dunk proved that. sure he left fairly far, but his dunk was soft as hell. i've never seen him finish any dunk with authority in any raptors game so far.
Jose "Hammy" Calderon - where Gatorade at the half clouding rational judgment happens, and where "hamstring" injuries linger all season long.

Since Gilbert isn't going to be in this all star game look for Lebron to take 50 more shots wow sam mitchell should have been the eastern coach. After him seeing Lebron take 100 shots he will get a boner.
On a serious note i really really hope that Bosh takes as many shots as possible im tired of seeing some of the players on the all star team take 50 shots.

Lot of things to mention:

1) What is up with Damon Jones? The camera was up to this guy every 2 minutes. This guy has not recieved this much attention since his Vancouver Grizzlies days. BTW , he is such a pimp, he knows how to dress.

2) JYD talking to Bosh. It was great to see both guys still have a good friendship. At the same time I also saw Peterson and Raptor having a great time talking together (even though Peterson gave a dirty look towards Kapono - #24 Raptors).

3) MOON was totall crap. I loved Green 's idea for cupcake. that was like mike james says, "cute". But I knew Dwight was going to take it (even before he began). I was really disappointed, I wanted Moon to do better dunks, but it appeared not. At the same time, I was happy Kapono won, (now we can probably trade him because his value went up ).

4) How the hell is Magic Johnson still alive? Doesn't the guy have aids or something. I didnt know ppl that long can still be alive. But still anice guy though.
