#37Originally posted by MendozaLineSince when does scoring 37 trump a triple-double? Kobe got the MVP because the game was played on his home court and his team won. He didn't have a better performance than Lebron tonight.
Lebron didn't get dunked on, he simply wasn't able to get the block from behind. Name me one other player on that court who would even give the effort to try to make that play.
Lebron should have been MVP of this game as he had the most impressive performance, but the West winning means Kobe got it. You can thank Dwight Howard's no-show for that. Also, anyone who seriously thought Derrick Rose was in contention for MVP this season needs to re-evaluate things after tonight. Rose looked out of place on that court.Comment -

Video: Kobe dunks on, taunts LeBron in All-Star Game win
By Chris Chase
LeBron James(notes) almost -- almost -- got the better of Kobe Bryant(notes) at the NBA All-Star Game. But on his home floor, Kobe got the last laugh.
For a while it appeared all but certain that Kobe would be named MVP of the game on his home court at the Staples Center. The Los Angeles Lakers star had 37 points midway through the fourth quarter and appeared to be on his way to setting Wilt Chamberlin's all-time game scoring record of 42. He and the West All-Stars were cruising in the game with a double-digit lead.
Then LeBron went into another gear and began playing the All-Star Game like it was a playoff game (any playoff game besides Game 5 of the 2010 conference finals, that is). The Miami Heat star took over the game an awe-inspiring display that cut a double-digit deficit to two points. He earned the second-ever All-Star triple double in the process, finishing the game with 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists (Michael Jordan had the other). It wasn't enough though, and the West held on for a 148-143 win.
By Monday afternoon, all of that will be forgotten. The highlights will live on, none more than this clip, which typified Sunday night's battle between the game's two greatest players. A stunning sight, indeed. (Not the dunk, the fact that a player in the All-Star Game put so much effort into getting back on defense.)Kobe dunks on LeBron and then gives his younger counterpart a little pat on the rear. If butt-taps were worth a thousand words, Kobe's would have said, "you may call yourself the King, but it's still my throne."
Bryant finished with 37 points and 14 rebounds, both game highs, in his MVP performance.Comment -

#39You don't get it, being out on a fastbreak ahead of the defense does not qualify as dunking on someone. Lebron could have easily just let him go, as every other player in that game would have done. Instead, he tried to make a play on the ball. Kobe respected the effort, hence his slap on the ass.Comment -

#52Originally posted by TheThreeKingsWaaaait a minute here. Lebron got "shown up"? It's reasonable to argue that Kobe deserved MVP. However, it's completely unreasonable to say that a player who just put up the second triple double in All-Star history (and a far more emphatic one than Jordan) got "shown up".Comment -

#53Both are great players but I got to say Lebron is that new breed. Kobe has that finesse shot but at the end of the day Lebron is taller, bigger, stronger, faster and scores just as easy without all the finesse.Comment -

#55I am in utter disbelief at what I am reading from you. I am in no way shape, or form a Lebron fan. But give the guy some credit. He is and has been the best player in the game for a while now.
And by the way, when has Kobe ever won anything without an all star big man on his team? I remember him crying and bitching about how Bynum wasn't the answer and that he wanted out of L.A once he realized he couldn't win without Shaq.
Originally posted by MikailYeah right. LOL That's why he needed to move to the Heat to have a chance of winning a championship. Don't take this so personal. Lebron can't hold a candle to Kobe and we all witnessed it tonight.Comment -

#57We'll see who ends up winning the championship. Down the stretch I think LA can still outplay the Heat.
But as a homer I say the Bulls surprise everyone and win the whole damn thing. Btw, doesn't my avatar look like Joakim Noah's dark skinned brotha if he had one? This dude from Nu Yawk too.

#58Originally posted by TheThreeKings2nd ever triple-double = "shown up" to you. Did you watch the game? The East were down 14 points with 10 minutes remaining when Lebron checked in in the 4th. He then scored 12 points and had a few assists to bring the game to within 2. Pretty damn impressive performance and I'd take it over Kobe's ballhogging any day.Comment -

Lebron is not as good as KOBE and yes he had a triple double but thats only because he got a fire under his ass and he didnt pass

Lebron plays like an Olga while Kobe is a pretty boy like how Jordan plays like a pretty boy.

#67I can see your point there. He still can improve even more. But from the perspective of a Chicago Bulls homer & fan, I truly believe that our team can defeat powerhouses such as the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic & even the Miami Heat if we have a fully cohesive team without any injuries. We may not have the big names, but we have way more unity than ever (esp. at home). We need to get over our road woes & we're set. We have some total no-names tearing it up. People like Taj Gibson, Ronnie Brewer, Omer Asik, etc. While Noah was out, Big Sexy (veteran Kurt Thomas) really put in some work, lol. The postseason is gonna be thrilling to watch.

#70Originally posted by Git LoLmao. anyway Bulls are real good they just ate up the #1 seed on the West but I really can't see any team getting passed this Heat D in the playoffs. Only time will tell but there is no way you can judge D. Rose MVPness during the break. I hear his work effort is really good and its hard to just tone it down for such a meaningless weekend its like he is trying to try not to play his best which is real awkward.Comment
