As a Portland Trail Blazers you would think that I would root for the West. Since the Blazers didn't have any All-Stars this year. I chose to root for the East because, my favorite player LeBron James plays for Miami and Miami is my second favorite team.
The West did win 148-143. Kobe had a double-double with 37 points and 14 rebounds. Kobe did win his 4th NBA All-Star Game MVP, which tied Bob Pettit for most All-Star Game MVPs. Kobe also was 5 points away from Wilt Chamberlain All-Star Game point record of 42 points. I think LeBron James should have got the MVP if the East would have won. LeBron had 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Only Michael Jordan have recorded a triple-double in the All-Star Game. East could have won but they played very sloppily. They had 21 turnovers and gave up 27 offensive rebounds. They let the West shot 46.8% and they shot 51.4% and they still let the West win. Oh well, All-Star Games mean nothing, just another fun stat to look at.
