I know you coached the East in Cleveland in 1997 and it's not the type of game where you get eight outs. game sessions outside the confines of the pick-and-roll, no, this is called writing minutes, we talked to Mike Brown before the game and he was talking about that and how you go out with your assistant coaches and write minutes to make sure that Marv in that fourth quarter, around the eight minute mark, the guys get their playing time so then you can go with the guys that you want to go with at that time to try to win the game, now Mike Brown, the coach in Cavaliers boss. told us he wants to play the three Celtics and the two Magic players Casa Blanca Rashard Lewis 40 minutes Becca here tonight will start I'm sure both general managers if that happens, controlling the East End in the dark uniforms the blue and here there's Wade Wade of three this guy has been on a mission since last year when he got hurt people asked him whether or not he should quit the Olympic team he's been a motivated man he took it to the gold medal and he's coming back with a sensational first part of this season, Kobe Bryant from downtown and LeBron James LeBron returns to the rim, it will be sides versus speed, the West has the side but the size, but the East with LeBron James especially in the open field. the court has Amar'e Stoudemire speed and he bounced around quite a bit Howard sorry Stottlemyre has been in the news a lot over the weekend he was the subject of a lot of trade speculation at one point the other 29 teams had reportedly called for ask, wait again with a three and it's bounced by Duncan, it's always good to be wanted, you still want to have a fire sale to give up someone like that, that's the only problem and it's very difficult to exactly match the fade move and it's a Iverson run over Allen Iverson of the Detroit Pistons. who have had their problems and yes, that's Allen Iverson with the new hairstyle, the calling willows are gone and Marv, the one who was in his room helping him, was a big help, and here's Duncan Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs , who after a slow start has arrived, are 35 and 16 years old, the second best team in the Western Conference.

Garnett, yes, two of the best big mid-range shooters in the game and you'll see Tim Duncan shoot a lot of jumpers, that's what Gregg Popovich is headed to do this season, there's no one he's hit in that post low, so he'll take a lot more jumpers this year, Duncan and was taken out of bounds last time, touched by Howard from the East, hey coach, the East seems a lot more relaxed. Allen Iverson in the open court enters the lane, a little fake and finishes, but remember yesterday's practice, the calm was very relaxed, the West was a little more structured, the West looks a little tense right now.

Easton's team attempts to establish the Guinness Book. of the records of which apparently Devin Harris of the Nets was able to go from one end to the other with the basketball in less than 3.9 seconds and we asked him if he was trying to break someone's record and the answer was no , he was setting a record and that was Bryant was called upon to be groomed by some bitter starting teammates with a silly face and a soft touch, so Kobe Bryant last year only played about three minutes in this game, he had been injured a finger right before the all-star game and I think Phil Jackson would also like to keep his minutes down today, his wave goes behind the back and gets cut off by white power.

Well, he leads the NBA in dunks in the year one hundred and twenty-seven, and this season he has a good cross from Paul the Almain coming up. short kept alive by Bryant Garnett with the rebound that the East can run Wade was one on two and it's Santa by Duncan Bryant to the pull-up for three bats by Anthony snatched by James a jump move here from LeBron going straight to Scott Amaya is that the crab dribble that we just want to be magical used to do that as soon as he got the rebound he did it like a high dribble go down to the ground.
Oh, turn it down after a nice, bold foul is called the first foul of the night, well, Dwight Howard, we saw him last year as Superman. He was dethroned last night with some kryptonite by Nate Robinson, but how about Dwight Howard on this block and Marv just to put that little block in perspective that we talked about in our open, but he leads the NBA in blocks. and almost three per game, he leads in rebounds and if you need those two statistics, he will be only the fifth player in NBA history to lead both rebounds off blocks in the same season and, as I said openly, I think I had had to vote right now He would be my Defensive Player of the Year, however, last night Superman, defending his dunk championship in another spectacular contest, lost his crown to the high-flying Nate Robinson of the Knicks and what if he acted as a prop, yes in his own defeat he is not very sure that he was trying to pass the torch it's not the name the East with a Li 13-6 have hit six of their first ten from the field the West only made two of nine on Iverson and the tip lost by Stoudemire be careful with all the spanking of James by Paul just wisely walked away and here's LeBron releasing his feet this guy has become a great basketball player Marvy shoots the ball better his footwork his release is more consistent every night his attention The details have grown over the years and he is a brilliant power move from the basketball player.
I start my event, I try to find a Yao, Iverson's save, but I didn't care about a limit, Paul is on it, his Brian ball, good job, he saw the fly ball picks. it's up to lyons cobie what bryant runs down the lane for easy dunk range his name is

going down the lane with the finish another former dunk champion and Kobe Bryant very early. Braun's NBA career chart says he is thinking about entering the slam dunk next season. Nice pass to: Howard was blocked by Duncan and again Duncan got a piece.
This will maintain the possession that Duncan last touched and the growth in Dwight Howard's name. we know he's a power player, a dunk in that lane, he's a game, the next expansion will be when he can go out and make that little tint that shot him, he does it, he'll be helpless, he'll end up coming up short on a catch and he'll shoot. Garnett Surprise I'm always amazed at how he improved his shot when he came in as a young player after high school, his shot was a line drive and he lifts that ball so beautifully that he really worked very hard to achieve a great trajectory on that shot.
Paul stripped off that Iverson play recovered by Garnett spinning for Garnett back goes beautifully done Kevin Garnett's LeBron James are three excellent pathetic stars right there Kobe Bryant back / really sit on the steel my girlfriend will really see some defensive play here al start, something that was unusual to witness and an all-star game in the first quarters, what would I like? Kansui saw some sensational plays, Marv, but the great degree of difficulty that the boys have is not throwing the ball, it's not sloppy, it's a it's a well-played game here early sometimes it's the schoolyard at the beginning it's not the case so far 22:10 east on top the

If you consider yourself a sports fan you should get DIRECTV and for Gatorade, mission will be the boss, it's the tough hustle and the soul of the game, welcome back to Phoenix, now it's time for Gatorade around the most reports interesting, the biggest story here in Phoenix this weekend was not the all-star game, it was not a trade, nor a fire, nor anything like that, it was Allen Iverson who showed up with much less hair than we are used to seeing for the first time in at least 12 years Ivers has gone back to his normal haircut he has his braids the incident occurred on Thursday night one of Iverson's old friends from the neighborhood cut his hair it was not the woman who normally does his braids it would cost quite a lot of controversy and comments among the Eastern team.
LeBron James said his teammate looked like she was 10 again, Iverson said. that his kids and his wife told him it was time for a new look, as President Obama told me yesterday, now is the time for a change, let's go to the west side and Craig Sager for weekend fashion statements of stars from head to head. Many of the players are wearing very special shoes this weekend. This is a Nike Zoom 4 from Kobe and this is the lightest shoe as you can notice it is also low cut and Kobe says it allows him to cut the basket on a dime which gives it flexibility stability you will also look something new tonight.
He is one of six players on this summer's Olympic team to receive Special Olympic championship rings. That's always in the morning. He will be at halftime. Others. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, crisp and responsive. mark well guys several substitutions on both ends blocked shot once again it's Dwight Howard Paul Pierce of the Celtics Joe Johnson of the Hawks Devin Harris of the Nets who come from the East to kill O'Neal of the Suns and Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavs on the court, so we have Kobe and Shaq playing together for the first time since their Laker days, Paul's runner rebounded by O'Neal, here's Shaq and he kicks it home, those of you who were with us during the pregame introductions with Shaq performing during the introductions I thought I was watching an updated version of Dick Clark's American Bandstand, it was pretty good, it's the first season of the Jabbawockeez Best Dance Crew winners.
I know you saw that, Mom, I do it regularly. Pierce off the mark Bryant with the rebound puts it between his legs being played by Johnson turning in his direction Brian with plenty of time for three Kobe Bryant has come out firing in this game, what is his tenth shot or a good shot here at the beginning of this? game so he went 4 for 9 here epistle Paul eludes James here's the LOB stottlemyre makes a good fake in the open court thought LeBron James bit him looking to get this deal kept his dribble low and found Marge stottlemyre Johnson trying to put a movement lost control Paul, who leads the NBA in steals, with several turns to make his movement he went behind the back and tried to escape in a complicated way, yes, he looked up and saw Dwight Howard, he was going to try to get in the position of this power went through him and took his eyes off the ball, but you see that Chris will come out of the game.
Marv, you know so many expectations on this New Orleans Hornets team this year at night. I see a smile on his face. I've been, it's been a while since he enjoyed playing in New Orleans since he had a down year, Tyson Chandler got hurt with aphasia and he had a down year and I'm sure this is a special day for Chris Paul to finally have some fun a bit and Paul was sidelined with an injury recently. Harris was hit by O'Neill forplay, this is Brandon Roy from the travel aces who just recorded flying to the hoop Phil Jackson before the game if Kobe was probably there to play the first eight or nine minutes of the first quarter and then I would go after that Kobe trying to make a statement , early start Lewis of the magic, who just arrived, could not reach the West with an 11, they are one away from Chauncey Billups of the Denver Nuggets, what a year he has had his battle axe. prepares him for Shaquille O'Neal Shaq said he feels good all season, he's talked about it, you know, he's sending out some games in a row, but he's throwing big numbers for the Phoenix Suns, here comes Phillips, what? a difference he's made in the Nuggets' turnaround: Phillips reached out in that deal for Allen Iverson Nowitzki set up by Pierce and a holding foul on Lewis sets up a tough matchup for Rashard Lewis guarding Shaquille O'Neal in low flow, probably a good foul to make there, but that's one of the things the East is going to struggle with.
There really aren't many big men and the Western roster is loaded with big guys, so Kobe Bryant had a great start on the left foot, the powerful one was done by his old teammate Shaquille O'Neal showing that he still has it here on the inside, the power finish. West on a 30 scoreless streak as they lead by one, we may be careful up there, we know we're here for everyone to have fun, but take care, look where we are, that's the all-star game move, not the trips of MVA. Most of our games I've played on Yes Missiles turn a blind eye.
Sometimes when it comes to traveling, they let things go a little bit because they want the fans to be entertained, so it won't be as strict. I've seen Reggie get inside the three point line, take two steps back and shoot a three and it was good, everything was good, are you saying he's a star player in the regular season? Well, a little bit of both, mostly stars, yes. here's Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs coming in for the first time Ray Allen checks in for the East, good play and pocket with the high pocket of Kobe Bryant, who just took his seat.
Kobe five of 10 of the eleven sealed points and ten shot attempts. for a quarter, just two off the all-time NBA star record held by Bill Sharman, who made it in 1960 built by a member of the Boston Celtics quite prepared for Brandon Roy's Shaquille O'Neal Bill Sharman also played baseball in the Brooklyn Dodgers system and here's Pierce kicking it Johnson now looks away exits from O'Neal to Parker Shaq loves to show he can pass in the post that sees a look away for a layup to Tony Park That time, the long starting acid is Rashard Lewis, the litchi NBA guy, and both teammates and attempts behind that three-point line and who stopped a 19, all run by the West, 19 consecutive Philips from the center , mr.
The big shot hits the three pitches at 3223 West, good hustle while that thought drifts away. I like how Shaq is being aggressive on both ends of the court, here he gets the rebound himself. I know he looks a little. I've never seen anything like it, but. Once again, I played against the West, the best Phillips, who gave a triple and a good lead to Tony Parker. How about the year Tony Parker happened before he sprained his ankle and had a career-high fifty-five point game in Minnesota? had a bright start, then he got hurt, that's come back very strong, Tony averaging 20 per game with six assists, that's Rashard Lewis Lewis of the Orlando Magic at 38th and 13th, third best record in the first medical quarter final of the Eastern and Western Conference. up by 7, let's really play Stu kills a million of steel Pierce has a three against two Harris gives up Allen stayed alive Pierce couldn't score but committed a foul be part of the NBA All-Star

It was a three-point attempt, we bought it just by resolving to the left, we'll play for a shot. West with a seven-point lead with ten seconds left in this first quarter, sound, posting to Lewis Johnson to help in the final seconds. Powell with a hook to sleep and Pierce shoots from the defensive zone to end this first quarter, making the West 52-28 in shooting led by Kobe Bryant 5 of 10 with 11 points and the East 11 of 28 the big man LeBron James with 7 the West finishing this. first quarter with a blow of twenty-six to seven at the US Airways Center Pasady crowd of over 18,000 68 NBA All-Star Game Senator John McCain and his wife Cindy another well-known couple Jay-Z and Beyonce many familiar faces in Christine are So, Chris Tucker, right next to him, you want to walk around the arena, shut up, hey, hey, the biggest person is on our left and that's Muhammad Ali.
It's great that someone else here, Muhammad, takes it all a couple of seats away from us. second quarter begins Ray Allen has a three on two kick back for a three point attempt that is blocked Joe Johnson blocked by Pau Gasol Parker with the plate Parker's textbook pastorate vet scheme gets the ball up the middle stop at the free throw line and execute and give it to one of your West side players with a lead of 36 27 in one stretch, they scored 19 unanswered points, a great car that was Shaquille O'Neal, six points, three rebounds , three assists while in the game his whips his ways Allen is opening just beat the shot clock buzzer he was surprised by the passive of rebounder Brandon Roy of the Portland Trailblazers playing his second all-star game devin harris showing us that dazzling speed in speed versus speed Tony Parker and Devin Harris I would love to see a race between those two guys to be faster with the ball, although they need to say that Tony should disappear after the Guinness Book of World Records.
I don't think Tony will fall for that, here's Pierce. protecting the ball and he got it to roll Marv Albert Doug Collins Reggie Miller Craig Sager David Aldridge working on the sidelines we're in Phoenix Arizona the West with a nine-point lead Nowitzki does create such a big space with that fadeaway jumper that he gets it behind of him heading and posting more this year in the last games with Rick Carlisle, well, this is like our game on Thursday, Paul Pierce against Dirk Nowitzki, in that last quarter and, for excuse, the stretch blocked from behind by Pierce and a The foul received the hand, let's consult with Craig Sager.
Craig Mark mentions that he wants that foot race between Devin Harris and Tony Parker. Devin Harris actually baselined a basketball yesterday in practice. He set a Guinness World Record of three point nine three. Seconds later, for the West, Tony Parker was chosen to challenge that record, however, he received a late phone call from his coach Gregg Popovich and told him: "I paid you not to participate in that", so Tony decided to give him to Devin Harris the world record, a mention in the group as we were seeing that I wanted what the reaction of the Nets coach, Larson, was, yes, the west won by 11, we are two minutes into the second quarter, SOL jumped towards Pierce, Yes, he was able to go to the baseline and they fouled him.
Such a difficult matchup, someone to hit. the saw or dirk nowitzki his outfield I have a little outfield player now look it's Rashard Lewis and basically Paul is here for your power players you have Danny Granger Ray Allen and Mo Williams so this is what Mike Brown had talked about with his lack of bigs and I think Phil Jackson, what's wrong with him is a lot of his bigs don't want to play a lot of minutes today, which is probably a good thing for Phil in terms of trying to get some good time committed to all of this. you can vote for the game you want to watch on NBA TV.
Special fan voting extends through tonight's All-Star Game and results will be announced on a special episode of inside the NBA on NBA TV following the NBA All-Star Game. Other reminders Wednesday on ESPN is Orlando at New Orleans followed by the Lakers Gold's Estate and then next Sunday on ABC Boston right here in Phoenix coverage starts at two o'clock Eastern, Western up at nine, Eastern It's my Williams from the Cleveland Cavaliers who just got recovered by Brandon Roy David West and the Hornets have registered for the Western team that Phillips fired to solve the problem of entering the West it's because they are too small, if your friend doesn't comply, you have a thing for the offensive glass shot.
This was a product of the fake three piercing, oh that's a very nice hoop to shoot. I don't speak from experience. The ball was hit with soft hoops, but Philips recovered it. His pass intercepted the victims. Danny Granger of the Pacers. Three in a good pass. of Williams to prepare him for Allen. It's great to see Mo Williams in this game after playing so well that he led the first part of the season for Cleveland and was a late replacement due to the injury suffered by Chris Bosh, sidelined by that sprained right knee and Pierce. gets fouled by Wes, how about Mo Williams the day after getting the news that yes, he had made the all-star team?
It's been action in a couple of days here in Phoenix and now it's time for the injections of tribal tax money a recap of the all-star weekend stop on Kevin Durant 46 points Major MVP the rookie challenge that led to Sophomores to a victory and Durant also won the Johnson Solo Horse Competition Event Jane Mayo and how about Team Detroit wins the Shooting Star Contest Bill Laimbeer and Afflalo Domination Katie Smith Rookie Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls show their all-round talent by winning the Skills Challenge Daequan Cook for the Miami Heat won the three-point shootout led by Orlando Magic's Rashard Lewis the data was from the Knicks taking the dunk trophy reflecting Howard says I'll tell you if the target was Nice enough she agreed that yes, he was barbecue, look at red, he was talk about the size factor, the East versus the West, the East has taken 14 threes in this game as Paul Pierce approaches the line and then look for their 12 points in the game that the West has taken just for the differences in which the West has 32 points. the paint at 18 so you can see the difference, the West entering with its size and attacking the East by opening the court and shooting monsters and Paul Pierce with 12 points in five minutes.
West up 46:41, four minutes into the second quarter. Phillips for three Oh Williams with the rebound the boards will pick it up on the floor here he comes Pierce takes the rim and hits the reverse ball Pierre sprey great basketball, he started slow this year but month by month his numbers are going up and he is in a good place right now pace here from this bench, both Pierce averaged 19 points during the regular season along with six rebounds, East had eight unanswered West/Lewis and was rebounded by East's Louis Small, is that they are doing a good job on the boards.
Making sure there's only one shot Pupil two three It's been bounced by West West fits in the saw and Roy talks openly and books I wrapped up the guards Phillips lost his mind his Rangers Parker just says take it Reggie has to be happy with a guy that maybe Anna Pacers with what he is doing with this work, but only with the dignity of the character, plays this game, but he would be very proud. Former PETA pacer, he plays hard and he plays hurt right now, he banged his knees and said there was no way he was.
I'm going to miss out on playing in this game and when the Pacers drafted him first in this deal, he was supposed to go in the lottery, he fell to 17th, the Pacers picked him and last year he averaged 18, 19 points now. almost. 26 in line for further improvement and a Granger in his fourth season in 8 New Mexico here is his past eliminated five Parker's Phillips finding Gasol and was fouled Lewis coming and making contact that's his second and now substitutions are being made at the hotel Kobe Bryant will return along with Amar'e Stoudemire and Chris Paul Wayne Wade and Kevin Garnett will go back in time to resolve in his second appearance in the All-Star Game the Rookie of the Year as a member of the Memphis Grizzlies acquired in that robbery by the Lakers. last season.
We will look at number 63 and 15 when he plays for the Lakers and it is very impressive for the Los Angeles Lakers. We saw them in Boston just before the break.All-Star Game and they'll go in there and beat Boston in their 12-game victory. streak they've made and broke their 19-game winning streak on Christmas, they come in when they beat Cleveland, they break a 23 game at home when he gets picked, that's all without Andrew Bynum, wait, who just returned as a tackle-capable guard that corner kick to the west. 48-47 once again Gasol comes in and a late whistle pushes Garnett, so it's been a while 48 47, especially with six minutes left in the second quarter, that I've seen an NBA All-Star game played with this guy defense.
Well, it's a good beat, but that's what I like. Guys are making simple plays and you can see what the West is doing: They're coming down to run that little center pick-and-roll rolling down the lane and we've seen that. Gasol caught that spike ball when Shaquille O'Neal was in the game, he had three powerful spikes, so Phil Jackson has always been a guy that likes big guys inside and he's taking advantage of his height here in this first half. fourth appearance as a stellar head coach phil has coached nine NBA championship teams six with Michael Jordan Scottie Pippen of the Bulls three with the Kobe Lakers and Shaq Mo Williams for three Ranger kept him alive ends up in the hands of the west for Our arms Teammate Brian Gasol runs the floor very well for a big man and you know they call that post lane extension mark, you run right to the front of the rim and if you don't get it, you turn and look and you look for a quick post on Williams, that's a three-pointer for the Cleveland Cavalier.
Mul Williams averaged 17 points on very good shooting, 46% for the season. Brandon Roy, where my favorite players, Marvin, I think you guys had him at the beginning of the year when he had. In his fifty-two point game against Phoenix, I think you also had it when he had the game against Houston, where it looked like he fouled out in the opening, gave up a three-point play, and hit the miracle shot to win that game, so Than Brandon Roy. when you hear him talk about this year he says I'm much more comfortable mo Williams feels comfortable here playing on a great team for the Cleveland Cavaliers with a chance to win a championship and Brandon Roy efficient, not wasting energy, the sweet jump shot and the west leading the 2009 NBA All-Star Game on TNT live from Phoenix Arizona is presented by Protect footwear and apparel made for the ball and available only at Kmart and on windows life without walls welcome back to the all-star game with the West leading by four this weekend the wishes of several children with life-threatening illnesses Medical conditions are being fulfilled by the Make A Wish Foundation back six-one Wow Abilene and each of the children was assigned to a star player we saw Dirk Nowitzki right there with: Curt Patrick from Abilene Texas I know you said you wanted to Bring a whole weekend of hope, joy, and rope to these kids.
How enriching it was for you. It was fun. It was fun just to see him smile. You know it was a dream come true for him. You know, I took them on the bus and just. to see his eyes and Colby walks on the bus and like he was stunned, he was in heaven, so it was great to see him and I took him to the locker room, introduced him to everyone, he got everyone's autographs and he wrote me a lot. of the letter before supporting a game, he gave me a letter and I was very excited, so it was cool, what do you say in the letter?
How cool it was to introduce everyone and it was a dream come true and it helped to be a maverick. Defend life, well, thank you very much, great job this weekend. I'm sorry, but Phil Jackson said you're supposed to come in. I'm coming. Craig, thank you. So divinsky we will communicate and they will only be all in the west with a 54-51 permit, you know, Mar, who else is very important at the Make-a-Wish Foundation is Michael Jordan and they had a great article here in the newspaper of Phoenix about him was here recently, he and Chris Paul just put on smiles. in the faces of these young people, which is something so wonderful that Paul looks for the opening that leads to Roy, pulling her towards Granger, they voted for West West, he positioned himself strangely, David west of the New Orleans Hornets and the East like that.
Williams showing his speed Chris Paul betting on the back core, you bet and you don't understand it, he puts deep that strange ball pass intended for Hornet to his teammate West, who comes Williams behind the back and restarts Williams, who is a two-part game. Foot on the line, that's where they can attack the West, but they can get some steel to get into the open court. They had that speed in the ability to really stretch that court. Mo Williams is three out of five. He has eight points. Bryant for three frees. down by stottlemyre stottlemyre and the question with Amari could he be playing his last game as a member of the Phoenix Suns here in Phoenix with all the trade rumors and Kevin Garnett in the end, very well it happened here?
Marv is in retaliation for Kobe Bryant. by eye and score once again, but Marva could very well miss the trade deadline on the 19th and sharp curves feeling a lot of different calls right now 29th to be exact, Bryant may not be able to score it, this is a two - In one, Williams, who develops the West's hustle, came up short, was bounced by Paul behind his back and fights Brandon Roy, leading to a timeout, and the other question, who will be the coach in Phoenix Suns boss? There are rumors that Terry Porter is in trouble, no assistant has been mentioned, Alvin Gentry, yes it's tough, Marvin, this coaching business right now is so volatile and the team is not doing well.
There is a lot of speculation about what is going to happen. Brandon Royce Portland Trailblazers are fine and doing well in this game when his team is late. At four on the court is Hall of Famer Bill Russell, one of the great players in the history of the game, considered the cornerstone of the Boston Celtic dynasty and one looks back over the years between those accomplishments, 11-time NBA champion, chosen as one of the 50 greatest. players inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1975, five-time Most Valuable Player, 12-time All-Star and 1953 All-Star Game MVP, and this weekend the league honored Russell by naming the NBA Finals MVP award in his honor in just a moment.
It makes Boston's Big Three present Bill with a cake, a special moment here with Leigh continuing to honor Bill throughout the weekend. Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Paul Pierce making the presentation. Bill will have to wait to eat the cake after the game. What a great honor to receive! that trophy that bears the name of the greatest winner of this league, what did he do when he arrived in Poland? Yes, he was excited too. He wanted to thank his team, always a model of a team player, and it's Wade trying, that little spinning shot draws the foul.
Dwayne will go to the line we are missing on that Tim Duncan seeks to communicate with David Aldridge we are here with Chris we are here with Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors injured does not play today but selected by the coaches for their all-star team his thoughts are here this week oh No, it's always an honor to be an All-Star, it's always great to be here and hang out with these guys, you know, we've been laughing and I was hanging out all weekend with Muhammad Ali in the locker room before the game, right? what was it? that feeling that I'm the greatest, no, he's one of the greatest sports icons of all time and just being able to shake his hand and look into his eyes was very moving, I mean, he's been through a lot, I have a new player that came to Toronto made the trade the other day, brought in Shawn Marion, what do you think of that?
I mean, I think it was really going to help us because everyone knows we're struggling a little bit, we need more wins and we're trying to make the playoffs. Oh come give us an elephant if you see the jail ship, but it's part of the business and You know, I guess we'll do it himself, thank you very much, get well as soon as possible. who say I am to you okay David White how is it with the cube so the West is now leaving it's sixty four sixty two so Jermaine O'Neal is now a member of the Miami Heat Stottlemeyer out of the brand we have to buy at Malian Howard Jones. he's a representative who makes the trade and it's disappointing and he's leaving Toronto, but he's excited to go to South Beach and have the opportunity to play with the flash, that man over there, Dwyane Wade, the big league question with tonight O'Neal, all the injuries he's had. hit with us Mauri Stottlemeyers evidently puts about eight points for Sodom Iron if he can stay healthy, he gives that he has something that they haven't had since you stuffed yourself, watch the shots intimidate in the lane and he is the pick and pop player that we run that pick-and-roll with Dwyane Wade, you're going to get a lot of looks LeBron James from the center that's ten points for LeBron kicking Bryant this time mark Garnett approaching Bright without allowing three, all with a piston receiving Allen Iverson we are approaching one minute left in this first half of Steel by Bryant two on one has a kind of slow motion two on one fast break Howard is called for the foul that will leave the play Secondly, Muhammad met him on a few occasions and you know just being in his presence, coach, it's, I mean, it's mind-blowing, he started thinking about everything he's been through and he still puts on a brave face, you know, Marv.
I had an opportunity when I played for the Sixers as a young player. He lived in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and we were having dinner together and I sat next to him for about four hours and all he did was draw Joe Frazier and I was just talking the whole time and I actually got an autograph. I said let's sign this for my son Chris, who was about 2 years old at the time. 3 I went to Chris's house recently and we had it framed in his room quite clean of it. I had a different experience with Muhammad in my boxing days at NBC, since Howard White is his fault, he will head to the line, we actually visited his house to do a feature and everything he wanted to do Yunnan sees himself as an amateur magician, yes, he kept saying.
I can do levitation and he said he was doing it. Have not seen it yet. I don't know what was going through his mind. One of our staff members said, "Okay, I'm levitating." I never met him, but he was a great host. and we really had a great time his great sense of humor people talk about true greatness Muhammad Ali true greatness West with a lead of 68 67 in the last minute of the first half good play, don't get off my jump for one and the ball comes back well west I was wrong Russell, I don't hesitate to come to that case, when you have 11 rings you can do whatever you want, do more, but you want a cake, he will have a cake, yes, I was thinking about eating, it was a player-coach.
I know, but I would train if I could play like him too. You see a player. Trainer ready. Nice shots in reverse. days being a player I don't know, no, it can't happen. I think a lot of players think they're doing better than some our last few seconds, first half, usually teams did it to save money, yeah, back in the '50s, here's Paul. the West with a lead of 7267 the West team shooting 56% from the field the call of High Point Mint Pierce adds 14 points in just 12 minutes LeBron James with 10 Kobe Bryant leads the West with 13 10 each for Amar'e Stoudemire and PAL Gasol let's go to Craig with Kobe, we welcome you before the game, usually the intensity comes in the fourth quarter, but you came out from the beginning, the defense made a lot of shots, what was your hope?, let's go to the game Well, everyone I just want to come play just play do what we do that's what the fans really want to see we'll see it's good after a while what it was like to have Shaquille O'Neal as your teammate again and what did you think his dance with the locker workers, well he's a great dance inside, now I've seen that before you know it, it's fun to be out there with him again, how important is it for you guys to take the ball down, enter the paint with your speed?
I was very important. I also can't turn the ball over to turn the ball over and they're gone, thank you very much Kobe Bryant leading the hunt for a lead here at halftime, but at halftime t-mobile reports a live performance by John Legend and a special ceremony of the ring Kobe Bryant and his Olympic teammates receive special rings for winning gold at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games welcome to t-mobile's halftime report live from the site of the 58th NBA All-Star Game official telecommunications partner of t-mobile NBA fans, please give a warm welcome to New Orleans Hornets two-time NBA All-Star Chris Paul.

Basketball may be just a game played here on the court, but it can also bring people together in ways that extend far beyond our sport. It's our way of showing that the NBA and its players care. It's just a game that passes. It's just a game, but sometimes. It's more than that much more playing basketball makes me feel strong it gives me more confidence in myself it makes me want to be something in life basketball makes me feel healthy when I play basketball it helps me make new friends and I love being part of a team Basketball unites us, connects us and no matter where we come from, we are on the court there, but we dream big, we dream higher, sometimes we win, sometimes we don't, but no matter what we always have to work hard, basketball teaches. teaches us that even when there is no chance of winning, there is still a chance to be a hero, it takes effort, you have to practice, practice very hard, you have to practice, dedication, teamwork, sportsmanship, patience, unity and love , and if we can practice all those things to achieve it. our game is better, can't we practice those things to make our world better?
Basketball is simply the game, sometimes it is more than that, much more those of us who grew up playing basketball, whether on a playground in the city or on a farm in the heart of the country, are grateful. to the game for the lessons it teaches us about life lessons like respect is something that is earned by what you do now while you are born with or you can talk a good game all you want but what matters you better back it up or if you want marry a girl like my wife Michelle.

Welcome back to the t-mobile halftime report. Hey, text my shot, seven, two, five, seven, nine, enter for a chance to play d-wave in the Eastern Conference Finals. in a t-mobile version of horse for a chance to win $50,000 in the NBA, what if you did it, would it be the way it will be close to horse, what a great moment this was in the first half of this game, Would Bill Russell be his 75th birthday? earlier this week and his Celtics presenting him the cake, he was going to say surprise the big three by presenting him 2k, so it's a big question of honor and already this week the NBA Finals MVP trophy renamed in honor of Bill Russell welcomes Ernie Johnson and Kenny.
Jet Smith and Chris Webber's thoughts on the first half of what they've seen in the win is a 72-67 lead in the West over the East. Oh, I thought it was a very intense game and when I saw this, I looked at people's heartbeats and when I saw the great Shaq here I can't even laugh when he came out. What I like about this game is actually the intensity. I see that the guys are playing very hard, which sometimes doesn't cost either the most alley-oops or the most dunks with these. The boys are playing hard now.
I expect some excitement in the second half. I totally agree with Chris on the one thing that set the tone at the beginning of the game in introducing the LeBron James energy with the Eastern Conference telling the guys, let's play. and then on his first two plays he went to the basket and really made things happen, hey, the East led by 12 and then the West put it on a run from 19 to nothing. 19, nothing in an all-star game says, you know, it's funny, you know? who started that, Shaq, yeah you did, Shaq was the main one, what a bad kid he looked like.
Will he try to get the MVP while we go into photos and talk about the intensity in an all-star game? I play what you see, this is the first play of the game, he goes down a lane that's not a trick shot and then all of a sudden he says, I'm going to find an open man and here he is again because normally I would have taken that shot. in an all-star game but then what I see is good pressure the pressure of the ball by Chris Paul the ball falls running for everyone that is the difference in this all-star game in any other all-star game I have seen in the country look post pressure on the court, when was the last time you saw someone get a backcourt file in the first quarter in an NBA All-Star game and catch him throwing a long pass to Tony Parker for a layup With that intensity in the all-star and soft games, we are seeing that in the first half of an all-star game that bodes well for the third and fourth quarters of this one.
I think we're in the middle of a real position change in the NBA, we have so many young stars. right now I like to watch it because a lot of guys are fighting and competing for that position, if who's going to be the king, I mean like you said, we saw LeBron warming up, we saw Colby warming up, it was like a gang sweating, so it's going to Sea well in the second half Paul Pierce has 14 points to lead everyone, only two players have not scored, yes, Ming on the west side and Joe Johnson for the east.
You saw Shaq come out dancing with Jabberwocky at the beginning, but hey, I think Craig Sager did. It was a little bit backwards when you talked to Kobe and half of what it was like having Shaquille O'Neal as your teammate again and what did you think of his dance with the locket job, he walked in a job, he's blocking the jobbies, the medallion jobbies, Jabbawockeez, the Heat secrets for kids? You're not old enough to know Jabbawockeez, did he show off with the check? His thing, this mission this day, was a performance by MVP during the introductions of the great friend, is that, like the Eddie Murphy movie section, chocolate, we will return in the second half. on the horizon here in the Valley of the Sun the 58th all-star game on TNT live from the site of the 58th NBA all-star game t-mobile official telecommunications partner of the NBA welcome back to the Valley of the Sun the 58th NBA game of stars at the US Airways Center in Phoenix 7267 west leading the east as we head into the second half Marv Albert Reggie Miller and Doug Collins what a second quarter, a total of 78 points scored in the second quarter and West Ridge shoots a sizzling 56% at one point they had a scoreless career of 90 and I think it really started with Kobe Bryant almost setting the record in that first quarter, four shots attempted, they were 5 of 10, they finished 6 of 13 for 13 points, but what about Chris Paul? only 2 points but 8 assists they got to continue getting points in the paint there are more 22 50 points in the paint and the East has no qualms about shooting from three point range, with their brand of lack of size, we saw a lot Many times they had players on the perimeter with a big size and six of 20, so if they are going to win the game they are going to have to start making shots, obviously because of the superior size that Reggie talked about in the paint for the West. but I think Mike Brown is positioned pretty well here for LeBron and Wade to play big in the second half of the High Point Mint in the game.
Kobe with 13 Stoudemire has 10, 14 points for Paul Pierce and 10 for LeBron James, the East shoots 47%. We talked about 6 of 20 from downtown, you see points in the paint when Doug touched 52-28 in favor of the West and 20 assists for the Western Conference generated 30 field goal attempts. Now let's talk to Craig Sager. Craig, I thought. He told Phil Jackson that he got great production from this bench, however, the starters deserved to play, they were the ones voted for by the fans, so he will start with the five starters he had at the beginning of the game and will then play most of the games . the minutes of the second half said we are encouraging the east to take those three she says the more they take the half here we are yes, we will continue to point the ball towards the paint we take advantage of our now to DavidAldridge Well, Craig, you know, Mike Brown says in the second half we might see a little bit of zone and he wants to change things up a little bit.
Kevin Garnett just told me that he's good for a good five or six minutes and then he might be done for the rest. The night, Mike Brown also said that Danny Granger and Allen Iverson in the second half, a little wear and tear for both of them coming into the all-star game, they may limit their minutes a little in the second half, otherwise all others are ready to start. Marv, it's okay guys. Mike Brown has his Cleveland Cavaliers at 40 with 11, the second best record in the East behind Boston and has been a defensive-oriented coach even though this is an all-star game, you see 72 points up on the board in halftime, which doesn't feel good for West.
The ball as we go into the third quarter now means the hook comes up short and Iverson returns. Iverson challenges Yao and the ball goes back to the West when you have a 6-1 guy challenging a 7-3 guy. on the spread of the board against the seven 3-gun wins and the West opens with Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant in the defensive zone Tim Duncan Dalmane Dan Amar'e Stoudemire up front this is the starting lineup, there is no returning Jackson here it's time that's his first field goal well Phil Jackson told us before the game that the shortstop really only wanted to play the first six minutes of the game the first six minutes of the third quarter.
You see going towards him early, I think maybe. to get some production and then it will probably end up here pretty quickly. LeBron James, yeah, and the foul, and you'll notice my guys get out of the way. You don't want LeBron to hit you, well you don't want to get hit, but I also don't want to get killed right here, good body and aerial control, gets up in the air, changes hands like Michael Jordan, that reminds me of the Finals The NBA is a game between two Lakers and the Bulls, and they call in a wonderful way, a spectacular move. in the next commercial, Stottlemeyer called that foul against LeBron tomorrow and got a piece of glass, that's what you've seen a lot of from him this year, the pick and pop game, and he's fumbled the ball a little bit and shot happy from that perimeter.
I think one of the things that has disappointed these Phoenix fans this year is that he didn't play in the famous one, but Bran lost control on the detour and Paul was able to finish the West with a 7870 lead and he just started here in the third Garnett, the big ticket. in his twelfth all-star game he now has ten points, Bryant didn't play well, Wade Bride was able to recover and score, but as we mentioned earlier, you see players defending, something you don't often see in all-star competition, well, that's how it was. a first half with a lot of goals, but it was competitive, it wasn't like the guys were running around and just doing dunks, even the guys were making shots, the guys were trying and that's what made this a very fun game to watch today, not exactly an intensive defensive game. but at least there you see another shot blocked when Howard stopped Yahwah's.
You can understand that these same guys that want a gold medalist, Dwayne Wayne stops for three, they want a gold medal in Beijing, so there's a lot of familiarity between them and defense was their staple here stottlemyre not stepping on mari stottlemyre averaging 21 per game for the Suns and as we mentioned above, the subject of much trade speculation Ivarsson the box outside Stottlemeyer ball played by Iverson Duncan being guarded by James and here is Duncan rejected but it's a goal Ted White Howard looks for the block and the basket will count. This is Amar'e Stoudemire. People here in Phoenix love the guy who drives that ball to the basket with spectacular shots, but to be fair to him, you know. with Shaquille O'Neal in that spot, there's not as much room down there, the Suns aren't that good at three point shooting, so Lane collapsed on them this year, unlike Mike D'Antoni's underdog with everything that. those three-point shooters and that Lane was wide open LeBron being played by stottlemyre in the headphones the image boosted and confident so the portrait and they fouled him, you see the look itself, meeting space, I mean this"The game is very fast, well, I thought it was interesting.
He was talking about the game and he said, "You know, this game is too fast for me. I feel like I'm doing a running test and you can see that. "You're just not quick enough to get through and move your feet and to be fair to him, he's a guy who's put a lot of miles on that body. He broke his foot. last year. He missed time. He played for the Chinese team in Beijing which was a spectacular day to watch him play there is a steal here by Wade Wade with an open shot tries to go to the glass rebounded by Yao and is fouled by Garnett if you doubt me you know the legacy is being very careful with those stress fractures he's had all kinds of problems with his feet and Houston being very careful with him today talking to Phil Jackson about please limit his minutes yeah he's been sleeping Ron the last three years and that major injury, stress fracture in his left foot, I was left with Paul and The concern with Yao has to be whether his feet can support a seven-foot-six-inch, 310-pound player for a season of 82 games.
Remember to join us. All of golf went through a four-year period for almost the same type of injury and there were at least Almost missed four full seasons James with a long three-way attempt the West in possession lead by 12 Bryant Capri the way he looked toward down with energy right there he gave him a little fake ball it fried them a little he just got up Wade with the three open It's a three against two for the west wall, it's very close to a trip, it seemed like he was going to give way to Brian in the wing, well, you can see what's interesting about this wet defense of the western team, I mean, them.
You're just packing the paint, you've got all these cuts and cuts and you're just defending at the basket, you're not shooting a good percentage from three, but Kobe Bryant looks at his teammate at Dwight Howard, they got the beautiful championship rings at halftime and tells you: out of your neighborhood here behind this three-point line return to the paint foul on Howard is third don't miss all the new episodes of the hit TN series t-- leverage on Tuesdays at 10:00 9: 00 central time only on TNT mari stottlemyre 83% free throw shooter, first player goes straight from high school to NBA today Rookie of the year, a LeBron James, a repressed white collar guy who will have to start making some shots , especially from three-point range, they don't have the size, they have the speed, but they have to make some outside shots.
The biggest advantage of the night for the West. Don't move in my direction to enter. He has to eat 11, all using a Peck that I couldn't keep. Stottlemeyer made his way made the balls deviate 10 on the shot clock the West in possession the East has won three of the last four in the all-star game they want last year in New Orleans LeBron James won the MVP over us and the ball Back to the east, but abroad, his second All-Star Game MVP award, one in Houston, dates back to 2006. James was looking to set things up and now Yao Kevon is playing with a changeup like in that match and then was forced to concede.
Until now, James's slide remains with them. Well, he has five defensive players to the west, all back in the paint, right there there was no place for LeBron to go and Kobe is feeling it from behind that three-point line, there is that soft rim that Marv talked about in the first half, we saw that with Paul Pierce earlier this time by Kobe Bryant 21 points for Bryant, which was his third from three-point land. Oh, guess what rivers, LeBron James goes glass 9380 west at the top, we're halfway through. In the third quarter, Brian with a long 10-pointer now goes for the steal and commits a foul.
Howard gathers the bottles on Yao Ming and takes a timeout for Yao to pick up his second Kobe Bryant now with 21 points. Lebron James. 6 of 12 has 15 convenience with one of the people who participated in that Paul Pierce of the Celtics, what was that like to build some arrows? You know, there's something the NBA implemented over All-Star weekend where we can lend a hand. You can see it in the children's space. They really enjoy us being out there helping or doing the things we could do in the community. How surprised they were when they saw them come out with hammers and shovels and then sit there getting ready to do some work, you know, it's not just about basketball, it's about giving back and that's what we're trying to do to the community, it's been many years. for the all-star games for me, how you enjoy this one with your two Celtics teammates.
I enjoy it more than ever because, but I always have two guys on my team, well, thank you very much, great first half when we see you back, thank you, David, last season's NBA Finals MVP with an average of 22 per game against the Lakers. Paul Pierce and that's a Williams trio that now has 10 in the West up by 10 just under five to go in this third quarter Bryant with the status and the hips on the reverse now Kobe came out early in this game in that first fourth he just kept it like that the whole time this is skipping the kind of mo Williams who came off LeBron James' fingertips Shaquille O'Neal back on the court for the West Paul lost control was deflected towards Danny Granger Ray Allen re-registered for the East hesitation moved there by Kobe takes the ball to the other side of the rim to get away from the blocker and finishes very well Shack being played by Howard wisely Paul knocks him down and a sister said he was going to cross to attract Howard to the right there Allen Iverson thought of a Shack creating for Chris Paul in that plane Williams for the green for a Howard Mo Williams taking one out of the PlayBook about the survey that Steve Nash found in Paul Yellow Neil and his fifteenth appearance in the All-Star Game , second all-time to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar followed by Jerry West Karl Malone and Michael Jordan some of those appearances Shaq was hurt and didn't really participate, but he was holding up against one of the dominant great men of all time, obviously one in front of us and Bill Russell Wilt Chamberlain emulates a Bill O'Neil, member of four NBA championship teams, three with the Lakers and one with Miami, and two-time MVP of the All-Star Game, and the young Dwight Howard, the Friedel.
I'm working with one of the all-timers. great players Patrick Ewing in Orlando Oh wonderfully known as Paul with the 20 the legs to prepare him for O'Neal Oh Dell came out and have fun Alan's pants tore it Brian slipping it to O'Neill oh yeah, let us stumble five hours watch Phil Jackson and Frank Hamlin headers so the West just laughs at Kurt Rambis Brian Shaw looks at Kurt Rambis like a duster returns to that triangle to the low post Tim Duncan sits Chauncey Phillips on the ground so Brian Phillips, Paul along with and Stottlemeyer reduce The clock is five, they turn into the hut and he is right inside.
Danny thought about fouling, but said: I don't know if I can grab the second with his fourth Duncan of the game now has 12 points, six of seven total Kobe Bryant is Shaquille O'Neal, we saw this many times in Los Angeles and Danny Granger Buffett on Fallon. I'm trying to wrap it up, but I don't think they are. done with a good coach is not good, he can look good again with Easter so small you know Rashard Lewis is there against Shaq, he will have to make 3-point shots and Phil Jackson said he is encouraging the East to continue shooting from outside .
There again, the split points in the paint are 66 points in the paint for the West, 38 because they look like that, plus 28 and also the West has their plus 9 on the fast break, so you have a bigger lineup and you're winning. the paint and you're also coming out on the fast break in it plus 9, so now the West is heading to the West now over the foul limit towards that O'Neal foul Tony Parker of the Spurs back on the court while Williams says who has Billups Chauncey making his way to the open corner and he still is as Bryant gets closer to the rim and again it's O'Neal throwing some pushups, we don't want him breaking the basket here, no. today he did that once here in Phoenix a long time ago when he was playing with Ray Allen's pretty magic move.
That was a lovely day during the national broadcast and he was able to kill time by allowing the maintenance team to be here. to get a new board and one edge wasn't shot proof now they are all sack teams so we think where he took it down, the stud team, remember Marv didn't take down the board, the end of the board was still intact, the basket It just collapsed, I mean, if the board was really sitting on the floor track, now eight of nine sixteen points and all six of those shots have been dunks. Pierce missed a three kept alive by Allen, the back cat.
Mo Williams sighed, the Lookaway pass he deduced. about the last touch of theWest, well Shaq, as we saw when the headlines and booking were introduced, rapping and dancing, you see, you're here for the bounce house right through Howard's legs and the nice ending by the big cactus, now you see. me and now you don't, the big diesel with the ending with the king loving him, the 2009 NBA all-star game on TNT live from Phoenix, Arizona, they bring it to you knowing it will be in theaters March 20 get up, yeah, yeah, go go look. the queue, oh yeah, B Roy, were you down to at least ten for halftime?
Okay, you want to add like you come here, jump to this, I change it and then I go, but nekkid and I have all my dough, can you talk about that? Chris Paul, the real point guard leading the way, tells them we want to be up by ten now that they're up by 20 and that's the biggest lead of the night, coming in with a minute and a half left in the third, a long three-point attempt from Jake Johnson rebounded for Tony Parker, the West 17 of 22 from the field here in the third goes wide. In that one we can see Joe Johnson, who has had a great year for the Atlanta Hawks, who states very, very well, you know Marty if he didn't play well. in this building since he went to Atlanta, I don't know if he comes here and has higher expectations or whatever, but even as a member of the Hawks today he hasn't shot the ball well and I expect him to apply a lot of pressure. himself to perform better here because he was once a member of this team sandwich coming in who fouls out says Shack will head to the line Joe Johnson misses on all three of his shot attempts originally a first-round pick of the Celtics and After his days with Boston, acquired by Phoenix, spent four years with the Suns, was traded to the Hawks in the deal that involved D, borrows a couple of court picks and has been thriving in Atlanta while you can vote for the game you want see. on NBA TV Special Fan Night Voting extends into tonight's All-Star Game and results will be announced on a special episode of Inside the NBA on NBA TV following Wednesday's NBA All-Star Game on ESPN es Orlando Rawlins followed by the Lakers in Golden State Next Sunday and ABC, the Celtics and the Phoenix Suns and Shaq will be back on the line, you know, Marv, just to follow the Joe Johnson story a little bit this week on weather radio here in Phoenix.
Roberts Arbor, owner of the Phoenix Suns, basically came. I came out and said, you know, I made a mistake, we should have signed Joe Johnson the year before he became a free agent, they had the opportunity to sign him to a $50 million contract. I decided to let him become a free agent and he decided then. To go to Atlanta, there's Robert Shaw. I ended up signing a five-year, seventy million dollar contract in Atlanta and how that Atlanta team now went through some tough times. Marv said this Annette is a very young and exciting team. led the Boston Celtics to seven games last year in the first round of the playoffs Pierce lost it covered by Lewis has to be considered in the race for MVP honors the way things went here I was in the race he got his point guard us I see that often when you know a guy plays on his home court, he dies, I really work to give him the ball.
We've seen it over the years with any local guy who's been the MVP. There's Parker running with a three and a check that the anime shows. legs, it wasn't thought he would get as many minutes as Parker again from center, but Shaq missed his first field goal attempt, but has since scored eight in a row in the third quarter. Toufic lends to western 110 and eastern 91 fans who can. Vote for the All-Star Game MVP during the fourth quarter of this game by logging into nba.com or texting your hoe to 186, it's the West 110 and the East are watching you for another deciding quarter for the West, they lead the East and third 38:24 and have that 110 91 lead as we head to the fourth and this 2009 NBA All-Star Game is the Dodgers manager controversial offers joked or comedian actor Chris Tucker we review the star-studded crowd, including Dallas Cowboys MVP Terrell Owens, celebrity game John King and a CNN event and Eva Longoria Parker Reggie and Duggan's Jude are Mrs.
Solis from your desperate housewife, Brielle, yeah, what can you expect? You know, I didn't know that's what my favorite shows are. I don't miss it, regi, it's just not at the forefront here, horticultural events, well, you can see that defense zone, that bill. Jackson talked about bland, that's basically what they do every time the ball goes to the wing, they just fill the field up to the zone, there's really no place to go, it's abandoned. Roy takes his eyes off the ball and in the third quarter, Marbley, two turnovers for the West. while Williams is off the mark, but Rashard Lewis is there, both teams have made changes, friend Gasol is back along with Dirk Nowitzki Brandon Roy Phillips and Parker in the defensive zone see the East, they are going to change everything and maybe make a little effort here come back in this game there are no key debts God Lewis is back but Williams has the point there is Alan Ray Allen on the back has a pawn from Ray Allenhaving a fantastic year, much more efficient than last year, he even talked about that his shot has improved, his three-point shot is his second free throw in the NBA, he said his goal each year is to dredge, he would appreciate parts of the shooter. 50% from the field when Tony Parker knocks down the jumper, but 50% from the field, 40% from three and 90 percent from the free throw line, he never has mechanisms and Ray and Richie are the only two players in the NBA history that reached 2000. plus three teammates ray with 2100 Reggie pearly Swift one in before 2,560 I guess including the two you hit tonight, I guess although they were almost teammates to see, that's how the rumors make those teammates start all the rumors, coach Doc Rivers had to check on you a couple of times about Danny Ainge put him in danger, he said now he's really talking about your sister, yeah, yeah, we look alike, here's the law .
Oh, Brandon Roy, he's a Tony Parker, he's a sneaky jumper. Yeah, you know, when you look at him, you don't think he goes that high and all of a sudden you see him finish against these bigger players. Williams hit that $16.99 West shot over the top. Parker has to go behind the back on his final touch for the Luis Phoenix Suns season ticket holders. a Senator John McCain with his wife Cindy and who is your favorite star what is impressing the game so far and so far it has to be Shaq. I think he's trying to show everyone that he's still the MVP.
He missed his first shot and then I think that on the next date no one will stop him from doing a good job. He could be our stepfather. The reporter was apparently told tonight that he will not be the coach of the Phoenix Suns. He will be replaced tomorrow when Senator Obama and now President Obama. He said he wanted to change. I don't think he was talking about his Phoenix Suns, what happened to this progress. Well, I think they lack chemistry, but we wish Terry Porter the best, he is a great guy and we hope he is a great coach.
We wish you the best, thank you very much, now they have more time on your hands, with all due respect, maybe you can help break the ship to the end, son, maybe so, but I don't know if they need the help of a politician . play it, he must be listening to your broadcast Marv throw out the stats you just talked about apparently he's keeping score always change it to Paul out of Paul once you go there and sit next to Cindy and even the senator come here how ? politicians are always polling the numbers them Electoral College popular ball all the numbers Reggie lashing out at our statistician Paul crying depressed Nowitzki able to take him down the West now leads the format 118 to 99 he left in the last quarter nice pass Gavin Harris from Mo Williams Barb : You see Devin Harris every night.
What has impressed you most about Devin Harris this year is his dazzling ball speed, the way he and Vince Carter have played together so effectively, Parker's ability to hit, and the consistency of his Now maybe he's had a unique period where he was battling injuries, but he's had a tremendous year, a timeout called 120 101, the West score on top and in Benny, the bull found a new friend, Spike Lee, I don't know. About that Manny, what are you doing? He doesn't seem enthusiastic. Put the top hat on Spike. Oh, that makes sense, uh, don't do it, don't do it, go hit it on the wing, okay, catch it on the wing, catch it on the wing and work. take out the target that got 12 Chris Paul orchestrating Superman's Dwight Howard nonsense through the legs Jack going to the baseline and finishing these guys had a lot of fun this summer in Beijing bringing home the gold medal getting those nice rings At halftime comes a beautiful ring LeBron destroying himself on a count but a foul on that degree of difficulty.
I think Mike Brown is probably thinking he's fine, we've got 7 36 left. I'm going to put LeBron James in and see if we can make a quick run. Nice little pearl move in the lane using the glass, if you put music on it, it could be like a ballet dancer, look at that footwork, just spinning around the body, controlling the glass, just a beautiful play by LeBron James . I'll commit it David West. three point plays for the East now down 120 100 for Parker not played by Harris Gasol sets the screen well Dwight Howard wants to eliminate all these little guys on the perimeter while Kobe is in it for a three pointer that he was once able to stuff and this is how the rotating oven reduces it the parents called and then we take the hip, Gwaine will go to the line sounds strange Gasol, let's talk to Craig Sager, who fought his way to the West bench Craig, well Shaq, he actually changed this one game.
When you went in there you made 809 shots 17 points dribbling between your legs giving goals today we are getting all the energy. I admit it to my man, Coleman V Shaw, I felt like flashbacks every time I get cold, tell me to go to work, so I felt like you guys, it's been a long time since the team broke up, he joined, beat the Kobe's teammate again and Mickey likes to renew their friendship, you know, we know that respect deserves beautiful daughters, we have beautiful children every time we see each other, you know? is friendly and everything was done on purpose, there could be a rivalry today, although one of you could also be threatened by running for MVP, who should get it?
I'm glad to be here. 37 Mike, remember last year when I was gone. There you know, people said it was over, so thank you very much, that was a fantastic dance you did during the interest, thank you, thank you, that was freestyle at the top, my new name is the great Jabberwocky, take Jabbawockeez, it they brought out now if you listen to Shaquille O. 'Neal, although yesterday at an Indy with this joke, David admitted that yes, we had our ups and downs. “I know Shaq a week ago said it was all a media ploy, there was never any problem, but obviously that's not the closest thing,” Kobe said the other day.
I don't even want to revisit that at this particular time, so I think they're both taking the right path right now. The most important thing is to have fun here today and that's what this is all about having this take place during pregame warmups we'll be back in Phoenix in a moment it's time for the night's take presented by Burger King's BK Burger well who besides diesel Look, Dwight Howard talks a little trash here to Shaquille like the Harlem Globetrotter? between the legs that give and go Chris Paul and the post give and go in the diesel the big Jabberwocky or whatever I mean finishes and is having fun today the West in possession they have a lead of 124 108 just under six minutes per play in this fourth quarter Marv Albert Reggie Miller Doug Collins David Aldridge great says here working on the sidelines for this 58th NBA all-star game Kobe Bryant so Colby is now 25 he's 11 for 20 he got off to a fast start he actually tried ten shops in that first quarter game it's just easy to get it over with, is this an all-star game, a pick-up game or is he playing for the Lakers, some players find the game easy, well, he's a great talent, obviously he has strong will, but he's also the most fundamentally sound player in the game right now, and here's Bryan throwing it over Dwight Howard's outstretched arm, wait, he has to give it back Johnson making a move on Roy, his throw airs Bryant with his jeans back and Bryant shoots for three LeBron off the rebound and LeBron looks to go all the way changing hands in the air but he came up short Paul jumped the dribble we thought the game looked easy and the other day I said a quote that said no, the NBA game is easier for him than the college game because of the three point line and how much more space you have and he can get to his spot easier on the court, but those are interesting comments and good numbers for Chris Paul, 10 points, 10 assists, damn, Harris far away, Howard able to keep him alive.
So if White Howard is 11, Heath canuse that three point line. There are just over 4 minutes left in this game. Another assist for Paul preparing it for Gasol. Kobe Bryant making a late run to capture the MVP award. Once again, he is charging. some flora forces them to eat your momentum and take a mid-range shot or take those long threes there's no place to go and head vein here's white Howard showing Stan Van Gundy that and interviewing he's working his range the capsules pickup now for Orlando Magic was looking for three point territory but had his foot on the line David West was able to hit it an hour starts making that shot they will be one and they will be ready in the playoffs that will be difficult for them without Jameer Nelson he has been a a lot of that team we'll see if he can come back and I'm sure Joe Johns is still looking for that first hoop over Jameer Nelson, he wasn't wrong, what a tragic thing for that young man to get injured and such a big part of his feed for Orlando Magic saw him with the follow up Nelson out with that shoulder injury dislocated shoulder Marv that's one of those injuries where you see Devin Harris in that butt where you know you could rehab him but you shake him the wrong way and he comes back out like out of joint for you and we need surgery so it will be interesting to see what he does in less than three minutes to play 136 114 in the West with the lead while Bryant backs him up on how it looks like going to throw that Walston Howard pulled his hand out of the way now he wants to take Kobe, he tries to go but the crossing that couldn't work well when good things go wrong right there for Dwight Howard I really think he was going to cross the main defender of the perimeter players in Kobe Bryant on a beautiful night of 62 degrees here in Phoenix, Arizona, we welcome back the West with a 136 114 lead on the East in the final minutes of the NBA All Star Game and at center court just now.
Shaquille O'Neal passing the torch to Dirk Nowitzki The 2010 NBA All-Star weekend will take place in the greater Dallas area from February 12-14. The American Airlines Center will host events on Fridays and Saturdays and the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington will host the 59th NBA All-Star Game and the 2010 NBA All-Star Game weekend will be televised exclusively here on TNT. I think I read something today when we were in Dallas that Mark Cuban City hopes to have a hundred thousand people at that game. Wow, the ability will be to be in that area Stottlemeyer and rebounded by James talking about the statistics Kobe Bryant he Shiki in the other slot Bron falls short of Chris Paul with 12 assists and adds to the total of the park he has 12 points 12 assists and only one loss the Tony Parker with the LOB to Chris Paul here's Dewayne Wade, but with a long three, that's how the game started now that we've seen Chris Paul from the end of the lob and we've seen him in the post but on the hip. and go with Shaquille O'Neal, so he's getting all kinds of plays and assists here today.
Parker radon comes to Howard, yeah that pass broke our Roy, let's go to David Aldridge. David, well, Terrell Owens next year, the all-star game in your hometown. in your new stadium, what do you think? Oh man, it will be exciting to have over 100,000 seats there, it will be really wild. You know, this game this year the West is dominating, but obviously your Western guy now we're where your loyalties are. I'm just a basketball fan you know I love it I love basketball you have a lot of Bronco be Shaq friends so every time I go out and have the full experience of being a fan I'm here you come back to you Marv thank you so much . a lot I was Terrell Owens wearing those 3D glasses they used to wear in theaters to watch movies and now he's obviously showing 3D experimentally for television watching what's happening in front of him in three wooden tiahuanacos BTO wonderful, we're going up at the last minute of play, the West with a lead of 138 117 capable of opening things up until the second quarter, they have that 19 up in the East to get back in, it is launched in Stottlemeyer's configuration.
Ernie Johnson and Eva Longoria discuss Ernie's script. Paul Eddie split up, but there was no one else in sight, so he leaves him at home. Eva says no, I don't think you should go with that opening line that won't work, but you can, you can make things better, that third paragraph I thought was it. a little weak and here's a Stottlemeyer finishing off sorry Stottlemeyer with 17 points Kobe Bryant the big man with 27 well, we said before they were playing defense off the board and Brandon Roy scores it, which is interesting the other night, the last one Shawn Marion's field goal for the Miami Heat before being traded was a dunk that beat the Chicago Bulls Amar'e Stoudemire makes a dunk here.
There is a lot of speculation if his last field goal in this arena will be for the Phoenix Suns through a dunk that we will have to keep an eye on. The next few days, this is the guy who will be in the Slams Up competition for next year, giving everyone a little preview, everyone going into the crowd urging LeBron to do things and he complies with the request when it's over time for a West. defeated the east wall shoots 136 to 119 Kobe Bryant the tallest man with 27 in his 29 minutes along with four rebounds and four assists jack hits eight of nine hits eight in a row after missing his first attempt 17 points Stoudemire with 19 Chris Paul 14 points 14 assists seven rebounds for the East LeBron with 20 Paul Pierce with 18 and Dwyane Wade with 18 points so once again that final score won the West 46 the East 119 we will take a quick timeout from an NBA commissioner who will present David Stern the all-star game Most Valuable Player Award we will be back in a moment you the 2009 NBA all-star game on TNT live from Phoenix Arizona is presented by autotrader.com search the largest selection of cars and you will find the car you want at the price you want autotrader.com the best State Farm auto marketplace where great coverage meets great rates call, click or visit us and start saving today with sprite and with Jordan become a legend, welcome NBACommissioner David Stern and TNT is Ernie Johnson for presenting the NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award.

I know you both really appreciate the game's story. Oscar Robertson was the MVP of all-star game three times so was Michael Bob Pettit four times you guys are in that elite company now, what does that mean to you? chef, the great legends about it.

What do you want to talk about the open? I said, I'll take the East and Reggie says, I'll take the West. I want to talk about Kobe and Shaq meeting he was right about the money co-mvp all right Reginald well I'm excited because you know those guys should be one of the best matchups of all time and they could have won five or six championships if they had stayed together tonight, pooled their differences if there were any, go out and get the co-mvp. you're talking, of course, about the legendaries, once again, great legendary coins, a phrase that now, looking back at the beginning of this game, the West with that 90 without a run in the second quarter end up shooting a 61% game Pretty good in terms of it was played during halftime and then turned into a typical all-star game.
I thought halfway through the third period I even wrote a note to Reggie. I said the air is leaving this game right now, you could feel it leaking out, but Shaq was a big part of that run in that period of time. Marvin, you talked about that 19th race and then Kobe got his team off to a really good start, so it's nice to see those guys rewarded here for the win. I don't realize they write notes for each one, it's 119 thanks to our producer Scott Cockerel, director of Auto Low, we play producer Ravi Vaughn, associate directors Burt Bondy, Jean O'Connor and Eric Hill, they admire the production assistants, JP, Jeff Paris and Sam, our statistician Paul told us.
