NBA All-Star Game: East 120 - West 135
When Allen Iverson had to be the star in Philadelphia wearing Dr. J number 6,
Kobe Bryant stole the show.
Kobe was the most concentrated player in the game. He played like it was a Finals game. The worst part for Kobe was the crowd booing him, in his "home" Philadelphia.
West dominated all the game, sentenced at the end of the third quarter 100-77. Only a few 3 pointers by
Ray Allen at the beginning of the last quarter, remembered the comeback of
2001 All-Star Game, but West shooters scored well too.
This edition will be remembered by two plays: The dunk of the year of
Tracy McGrady throwing the ball against the backboard and dunking
his own rebound and Michael Jordan easy missed dunk.
The strange stat of the night was the fact that the five scoring leaders of the East were all bench players. This edition could be called "the 3 pointer edition" with 59 3 pointers attempted, and five 3 pointers records broken.
MVP: Kobe Bryant (West)

Slam Dunk Contest: Jason Richardson
Only 4 players participated in this edition. The main innovation was the roulette of classic dunks. Each player had to do a classic dunk. It was a good idea, but not for Steve Francis, who wasn't able to make the Terence Starbury 360º. Gerald Wallace made a great "free throw line" dunk ala Julius Erving. Jason Richardson executed the "Tomahawk" as well as Dominique Wilkins, and won the contest with a 50 points reverse dunk in the final.
