It's come to the point where I was cheering for the broncos to get the ball back so Tatum Bell could get me some fantasy points.

I've decided that the only way I can ever become a hard core Raider fan is if they draft AJ or Carpenter. They haven't had a Buckeye on the team in years. If they go after TO then I'm done with them forever.

LeBron All-Star game MVP

I tried to watch the game, but after the rediculously over the top intros, and a sloppy first few minutes, I turned it off.

HOUSTON (AP) -- "The Chosen One" was an obvious choice for All-Star game MVP.
LeBron James led a big second-half comeback by the East on Sunday night, taking a victory away from the West and probably the MVP award away from hometown favorite Tracy McGrady.
James finished with 29 points in the East's 122-120 victory while showing the all-around skills that have made him perhaps the NBA's most talented young player. The 21-year-old Cleveland star became the youngest MVP of the game, surpassing Oscar Robertson.
James added six rebounds, two assists and two steals. He needed only two tries to win the MVP award of the NBA's showcase event. He finished with 13 points last year in the East's victory.
The West was seemingly in control of the game before James took over in the third quarter. He did nearly everything in a 10-0 run that gave the East a chance after it trailed by as many as 21 points early in the period.
He grabbed a rebound that led to Dwyane Wade's jumper, then dunked on the next trip. James then had steals on consecutive possessions, finding Allen Iverson for a jumper on the first one and then draining a 3-pointer that got the East within 85-78 with half the quarter left.
James trails Kobe Bryant and Iverson in the NBA's most exciting scoring race in years, with all three averaging more than 30 points. Both had already been MVPs of the All-Star game, so perhaps it was James' turn.
He was expected to be an NBA superstar even in high school, when he was featured on a magazine cover with the title "The Chosen One." He went on to be the No. 1 pick in the 2003 NBA draft out of high school.
On Sunday night, he proved those expectations were deserved.

It was actually a very good game.

LBJ showed his ability to take over a game. I wish that he would of took it to the hole a coulple more times and show off his skills, but nonetheless, this is a very big honor for him.

How bout he gets a sweep and takes the mvp and finals mvp too. Ok I got a lil ahead of myself.:tongue2:

I watched the whole game for the first time in many years. I think I stayed tuned in b/c at the end of the first quarter, LeBron had 10, and I knew if he kept it up, he had a shot at the MVP. I am really glad I stayed tuned in--it was great to watch him become the youngest all-star MVP ever. Just another milestone in an already brilliant career!

Wow.

Skip Bayless was just on Cold Pizza and he absolutely ripped Lebron. He said it was a "Nike conspiracy" that he won the MVP, and that he took too many shots, never played any defense, and that he "obviously fouled T-Mac on the last shot."

Skip Bayless? Come on... He'd be the clownprince of sports journalism if it wasn't for Woody Paige.

But as to what he said. Lebron actually did play defense. It was a foul on T-Mac, although not "obvious." And he did take too many shots. But he made over 50% and hit some big 3s in the comeback. He had a monsterous put-back dunk late in the game that was huge. And he pissed off Kobe. What more could you want in an MVP?

The only other viable option was Chauncey Billups.

He was clearly the big piece in the comeback for the east.

Skip Clueless is an idiot.

who seriously complains about an all-star game?

What if one guy hit a home run 3 out of 5 at bats during the all-star game? Would Skip be pissed if he kept coming to the plate later in the game?
