Actually, Oden's strength is in mathematics. So the fact that he's a little soft-spoken is irrelevant to his ability in that area.

Wake Fans are suffering from severe bitterness.

May be a little off-topic...

but anyone watch the McD dunk contest? Didn't even know it was on...

Oden looks good, but that wrist being sprained made me miss what i wanted to see most out of him: his jumpshot. Also, as mentioned before, he does seem to be able to get in position for the board, but doesn't pull them down...maybe the wrist again. Still looks impressive...

Take nothing from this game regarding Oden on offense, if you watched the entire team then you would have seen that his teammates rarely gave him the ball. Just wait till the offense is around him.

Also, Conley kept getting snubbed which kept frustrating me.

Cook looked great, next year is going to be awesome.

This game has seemed to lose it's luster. It's used to be on a weekend afternoon on like ABC, now it's on a Wednesday Night at 10 pm. Plus, I didn't even see an ad for the game until the 6pm Weds. night Sportscenter.

They didn't advertise the game at all.

It has lost some of its luster the last few years because of most of the players in the game jumping straight to the pros and just the overall feel of the All-Star game....the past few years because of the NBA thing, players would try to put on a show to showcase themselves and the feel of the game went downhill in my opinion, but this one last night was pretty good in my opinion.

arizona commit, budinger won the dunk contest easily. His first one was not going to be beat let alone his last one

They gave it to Henderson with a very common dunk

That whiteboy can jump:)

He's on the U.S.A volleyball team already and they say he's one the best in the world now.
