So when you plan an all-

star

game, that means you are one of the best players in the world and you also have fun, but the fun is in the competition. Fans bother to say this is what we do, but the man with the ball. There it is, there have been players with so many great players, that's going to break up the conversation to talk a little trash. I know your weights are good. I can cum for you a little. Why not? He's trying to see it. It's just getting

ted, man. you later Betty he just started uncle me box I'll try again we do the robot if you want to do it this is what I'll miss that interaction and the competitiveness too we'll probably go to jail and he now has his fourth All-Star MVP, Kobe Bryant , walking was great, my first All-Star game, he was a nutritious, no doubt, the only time I was nervous for the game was '98, okay, it means the world, this is my first game. -All-star game playing in New York City with all these great basketball players.

His incredible experience as a kid watching the All-Star games always amazes me. There is no movement behind the scenes. The players do slow motion and then exit. About it, you know the ins and outs and you know what happens and then it's fun. I'm still like your kid in the candy store when I sit and watch so many great players. Good weather to play there. The crowd got me really excited after that, so you know, whatever I felt like doing was flexing, we gotta get through the intro, so I was like, well, I could come back out, okay, we'll continue on that stage of There, take the bar with you, I've been extremely fortunate to be able to play the game about love, but I'm giving it up now that he's older.

It's exciting for me to be here in this all-star game. Having the opportunity to be around these young players. talk to them about the game, share some of the knowledge that I've learned throughout my career and so that they can continue the NBA tradition, I want to thank you guys, what is it, Kenny, what did you say? Hey, look when we are, when. We have seen this piece. I have something I need to say. What was it? You know, obviously, he was taken away from us too soon, but the interesting fact that I found out that talking about all the great players, Shaq was mentioning that Goss won the MVP of all of them. all-star games the greatest of the greats that night there are only three of them that are no longer with us Moses Malone Wilt Chamberlain and now Kobe Bryant the rest are still here and you talked about walking this is what all-star

weekend

is like for me is watching your favorite trading card just walk side by side and by having it, you realize how early they took it because only three in basketball history aren't here.

I probably know Kobe, Kobe, in the morning, guys, but every All-Star game he was there. I went out looking for the MVP, especially because the first one in New York that I could remember was me, Eddie Jones and Nick Van Exel, and you know it hadn't even started, but he made the all-star team, now this was his time . To let people know that he was the greatest player of all time and that he will definitely be missed but never forgotten, but he will have to do this. It's been a tough year for the NBA family with the commission now opposing Kobe. and number one, I never want to have those other people in other families too because you know they're struggling and suffering, but listen, all we can do is celebrate.

I think the players are doing something good, we are at 24 days. and two t-shirts I told you he's too wannabe to be the best to have to do it I'll always remember our conversation, they were always the same Hi Charles, how are you, I'm fine, how are you, I'm fine, okay, see you later, so these very similar conversations to the ones I have here when you went, thank you, we probably had 50 conversations, they are always exactly like that, you know, what I will always remember is the first year we had the rights to televise the all-star game in 2003 and it was in Atlanta and it seemed for everyone that Michael and his last All-Star game were going to win the MVP and the one who tied the game with free throws at the end was Kobe Bryant that Kevin Garnett ended up as the Most Valuable Player of the All-Star Game of that year and I'm sure that everywhere we look this

weekend

we will see and hear the tributes that we are seeing and hearing from the people here at House of Blues and I'm sure we will see it from the players, yes, we will see it from the fans throughout the weekend and as it should be.
