I watched the All-Star game before going to bed last night. By the way, it is far more convenient for me not to watch these exhibition games live. At least, I don't worry about the long and stupid commercial breaks and other useless off-the-court activities. I can only focus on the game and the things happening on the court; it takes only an hour to watch the all game.
Anyways, it was one of the worst All-Star games I have ever witnessed. There wasn't even one dunk or move that is worth remembering. The West team executed the zone defence during almost the entire game, which eventually caused the East to make lots of shots behind the arc. While The East had 34 three points attempts (just %23.5), the West finished the game with only 14. Sometimes, I needed to fast forward the game to see something interesting.
The things occured at the end of the night seemed so very well organized and predictable as if it was all about a play/story written before by NBA executives to attract the audience and the press. Even though Chris Paul could have been selected for the award after all the performance he showed (14 points, 7 rebounds, 14 assists, 3 steals), Kobe Bryant and Shaq O'Neal shared the MVP Award. Like one of the Eastern Conference executives said:
“It’s all about the story lines,” ... “You think the league didn’t want this to happen? Is this the NBA or WWF?”That was most well put indeed!
