From the very beginning of last night's NBA All-Star game, it was inevitable that the West squad had a much deeper bench than the East. After the starting five for the East sat down, Kobe and the rest of the West began to dominate.
What is even more impressive than how talented the West is this year, is the fact that old teammates/enemies Shaq and Kobe both won MVP! It was nice to see them get along last night, whether for media purposes, or hopefully, because their disagreements are a thing of the past. "I tell you what, those two guys together, that's a deadly combination," East coach Mike Brown said of Bryant and O'Neal. "They are where they are right now but if they were to stay together, no telling how many more rings they would have had on their fingers and toes."
Boston's own Big Three did their usual damage as well last night and made the C's proud. With 7:47 left in the game, all three stars were done for the night. (Garnett was benched even sooner with 17:53 left in the game. We like keeping Doc happy.) Garnett netted 12 points going 5-5, Allen contributed 8 points, but Pierce was the star of the reserves earning 18 points, scoring 12 of those points in only 2 minutes and 22 seconds.
