Kobe and Shaq All Star Game Co-MVP's?

What is this all about? I know the game doesn't mean anything and they don't really play defense, but this Shaq and Kobe thing is a little ridiculous.

Hasn't this drama been played out enough?

"We like each other." "We hate each other." "It was all for the media."

I like both players. Shaq is the most dominant player, that's right, player, not big man, that I have ever seen. He revolutionized modern basketball and what teams look for in a big man. Many have tried, but there is only one Shaq. (see, Bryant Reeves, Michael Olowakandi, Eddie Curry)

Kobe is the best player in NBA right now. He has been for a few years. No one is a better shooter, be it in the first quarter or in the last seconds of overtime. Kobe is the man.

With that being said, Co-MVP's of the All Star Game? Come on.

Shaq was funny because he played like a point guard. He didn't take the customary three pointer, but the between-the-legs pass on Dwight Howard was hilarious. He got the ball a lot because the game was in Phoenix, nothing new to the All Star game that the hometown guy gets the ball a lot.

Kobe put up numbers, but nothing too flashy. Some dunks and big shots, a normal day at the office.

Did y'all see Chris Paul? It looked like he had the ball on a string. He always seemed to look first to pass, then to shoot. Then, his shot looked like he thought about it at the last second. I don't have his numbers in front of me, but I had to vent.

Chris Paul for MVP!
