I love this game. The rooks vs the sophs is now my favorite game to watch all-star weekend. With one exception...
MJ's last all-star game when he would have been MVP,until Jermaine O'neal fouled Kobe in the corner from 3 at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime. This was a last second chucked shot that wasn't likely to go in. Garnett became the MVP of that game because the West destroyed the East in OT.
If anyone remembers that game Jordan recieved the ball at the end of the game for the winning shot and Matrix was guarding him and actually playing tight. Jordan took the ball, faked like he was going to drive inside and stepped back a few with a deep fade away swish over Matrix that just missed his fingers as he recovered and went up for the swat.
Jordan nails it...
I can remember yelling,"he hit it, he hit it, oh my god he hit it."
Still gives me chills thinking about it.
Unfortunately, J. O'neal made sure the game wasn't over.
Magic's performance was also amazing in his all-star game but I'm much more of a fan of the young all-star game. It means more to the young guys to be on this stage.
Can't wait for Rondo to tear it up.
