Lebron James' many skills were displayed brilliantly tonight in the 2008 NBA All-Star game in New Orleans. James led the East All-Stars to a 134-128 victory. James won the MVP honors finishing with 27 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists, just shy of a triple double. His court vision and ability to get to the rim were key in the East's victory. Ray Allen was also key to the East's win. Allen had 28 points, knocking down three big triples and a couple free throws in the end, sealing the victory for the East. The young guards were the bright spots for the West, Chris Paul and Brandon Roy looked like NBA veterans bringing the West within striking distance in the end. Paul had 16pts and 14dimes, Roy finished with 18 points and 9 boards. The West team was down a superstar in Kobe Bryant, Bryant started the game and collected one rebound before being subbed out about three minutes into the game. Bryant then hit the showers and sat on the bench icing his finger for the rest of the game. All and all it was a pretty entertaining game, now the real excitement begins, the race for the playoffs.

5 Reasons to Watch the NBA All-Star Game
- The best players in the world on the same court, something exciting is bound to happen.
- Kobe Bryant! Any chance you get to see this man play you should take advantage. Although he probably wont play long due to his finger injury, he still should be good for something worth seeing.
- All of the young talent in the NBA. Brandon Roy, Chris Paul,Dwight Howard, and Lebron James are certainly worth tunning in to see.
- Steve Nash and Jason Kidd. Both are magicians with the ball, both are must sees especially with the talent each will be surrounded by.
- Charles Barkley, listening to Sir Charles' outlandish comments are worth watching in itself.
This is always one of the more entertaining sporting events of the year, and I'm sure this year in the big easy will not disappoint. It will be a high scoring, defenseless, highlight filled game as usual.
Enjoy the festivities
