All Star Nuggets were in the house in New Orleans representing the NBA’s Western Conference powerhouse of players on Sunday. A.I. had some flashy crossovers and nice dishes, and Melo prevailed as a top point’s scorer with 18 along with 7 rebounds.
A.I., Melo, Kobe, Timmy and Yao, the West’s starting unit in Sunday’s All Star game weren’t enough for the East, despite the fact that the Western Conference is much more competitive this season.
The weekend was defiantly as memorable of an All Star game as any, with old school players like “The Admiral” David Robinson making an appearance in the revised NBA Skills Competition, and the newly dubbed Dwight “Superman” Howard was simply amazing in the dunk contest.
This wasn’t your typical All Star game, either, with the game actually on the line in the final minute of play. The Celtics Ray Allen showed why many call him the purest shooter to step on the court since M.J., scoring four straight three pointers in the last two minutes of the game.
The Nuggets had better be ready for that pure shooter by tomorrow, as they play the Big Three at home. Kevin Garnett should be back, and there’s still the other two All Stars in Paul Pierce and Allen.
Top 5 Nuggets All Stars:
1. Allen Iverson (9 appearances)
2. Carmelo Anthony (3 appearances, many more to come)
3. Alex English (7 appearances)
4. Kiki Vandewegh (2 appearances)
5. Dan Issel (1 NBA appearance, 3 ABA appearances)
