NBA All-Star Game Recap

I must say, the 2010 NBA All-Star game at Dallas Cowboys Stadium was pretty cool. Besides Dwyane Wade, my MVP goes to Shakira. For most of the bball game, the crowd was silent, as in you could hear the person breathing next to you. The 108,731 people didn’t make too much noise until Shakira took the stage and stole the show.

NBA All-Stars 2010

The NBA All-Star game features the best basketball players in the world.  The starters for the Western Conference and Eastern Conference were recently announced.

For the West, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Carmelo Anthony, Tim Duncan and Amare Stoudemire are the starters.  The Eastern Conference team features Lebron James, Allen Iverson, Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett and Dwyane Wade.  My prediction is that the West will win the game with Carmelo Anthony being named the MVP.

Allen Iverson NBA All-Star 2010

Allen Iverson NBA All-Star

Allen Iverson is one of the most popular players in the NBA. AI was recently picked to be a starter in the 2010 NBA All-Star game in Dallas, Tx. Iverson finished second among East guards with 1,269,568 votes. He will be joined in the backcourt by Miami’s Dwyane Wade (2,327,550). Orlando’s Vince Carter was third in the voting (1,048,977).

The remainder of the East starters are Cleveland’s LeBron James and Boston’s Kevin Garnett at the forwards and Orlando’s Dwight Howard at center.

“I just want to thank everybody for their support this season and it’s an honor that the fans have voted me into the All-Star Game as a starter,” Iverson said. “The fans are who make us and make the NBA so popular. This year is even more special because I’ll be representing a city and fans that I love and a team that has been such a big part of my life throughout my career.”

Iverson initially said that he would see how his ailing knee was feeling before determining whether to play in the All-Star Game, but he has backed off that stance.

He has been voted an All-Star starter for 11 consecutive seasons, and has appeared in 10 games. He did not play in 2007.

In his nine previous appearances, he has averaged 14.4 points and 6.2 assists. He was named MVP of the game in 2001 and 2005.

Iverson is averaging 14.8 points and 4.4 assists in 16 games with the Sixers. The team is 8-14 since he returned to Philly.
