Loved those early 2000s All Star games just to see Tim, Kobe, and Kidd on the same team

17 titles for the West (TD 5, Kobe 5, Drob 2, Sheed 1, KG 1, GP 1, JKidd 1, Fin 1) vs 3 for the East (Allen 2, Big Dog 1)Damn the eastern conference was pure shit compared to the west. You can tell how lopsided just from those pictures.
When the Warriors blew the game back open to double digits in the third last night I thought damn I'm gonna do like Russ and just take a walk (without the phone) to get away from the game for a while. Sure enough I got back home right after De'Aaron hit the shot to tie the game at the end of the quarter and watched an awesome fourth quarter of Spurs basketball.I remember saying this in 2003 and I'll say it again -- these are the good old days.

We didn’t call it the Leastern Conference in the 00’s for no reasonDamn the eastern conference was pure shit compared to the west. You can tell how lopsided just from those pictures.
I used to call it the Leastern Conference.We didn’t call it the Leastern Conference in the 00’s for no reason
Another thing that stands out is how the West had 8 bigmen and only 4 guards. It goes to show you how the rules didn't favor perimeter players back then.Damn the eastern conference was pure shit compared to the west. You can tell how lopsided just from those pictures.
And possibly 2-3 All-Stars in the future, in Wemby, Castle and Harper.I’m going to really enjoy this run. Seriously folks, don’t pick nits,just relax and enjoy the show. We’re setting up for another long run, assuming Wemby’s health holds up.
Duncan actually did pretty well at these all-star games during the first half of the '00s. He won an all-star MVP with Shaq in '00 which I felt should have just gone to him. In '01 he dominated the first half of the all-star game and looked like he was going to get the MVP again until Kobe started hogging the ball in the second half of the game. In '05 I felt he had a strong start in the first half of the all-star game and then Pop shut him down in the second half which thwarted a chance of him getting the MVP in that game.Wemby is made for these All-Stars. Unlike Timmy, Wemby will be putting on a show, crossovers between the legs, ally-opp dunks, shots at the logo, blocks. And Wemby would very well want to be the All-Star MVP.
It would be six if you counted the coach.5 players representing us on all star weekend is pretty cool
Good point. Are the assistant coaches there and contributing, also? Asking if it's the head coach only or the coaching staff?It would be six if you counted the coach.

I’m not taking away from Timmy. But Timmy was more about winning with his competitive nature. But you have to admit, Wemby likes to put on a show. He’d do a between the legs dunk because he likes to entertain fans who are mesmerized by what he can do. I’m just saying Wemby would thrive on these All-Stars events, much like Curry, Jordan, Kobe, Magic.Duncan actually did pretty well at these all-star games during the first half of the '00s.

Make it fifteen with Mitch and his staff.It would be six if you counted the coach.
AI is known for never being wrong, so if AI says he is, then he is, isn't he?Brett Brown? Thought he wasn’t on the coaching staff any more?
No Shaq? He must have been injured.
That’s funny because I got the sense He was relieved after the Golden State game that he was getting some time off.Fox replaces Giannis.
