East Dominance is BS. It was a friggin all-star exhibition game and the West is still winning the great majority of games head to head and one of their division might be won by a 500 team. Columns today in USAToday and others that the East is now dominant are insane. One title, and one all star game win is not dominance (especially, when the West bigs sat for the equality of minutes thing). Kudos to AI though.
However, during his time on the floor the most dominant player, the quiet star among stars, even with his injuries was TD. He looked very good in first few minutes especially and his 3 was beautiful as were at least two strong moves. That 2 on 1 with Garnett was a thing of beauty that had two great 7 footers playing team basketball.
The top buzz around the East arguebly should be Wade more than James, every time I watch this young pro he is doing the same thing he did in the playoffs last year, at Marquette and against the Spurs last week = he is a special feerless player in "money time". Kobe, Allen, McGrady and the others that let him go off should be embarrassed, he simply outclassed them in the 4th. That is not to diss James who is also totally unreal but don't be suprised in 7 years when after Shaq moves on if that team is still winning with this kid.
(I am DC right now on a trip and this Arenas guy is a friggin trip, first he predicts he is going to be the MVP shoots blanks and then goes in papers and says all he really wanted to do is go and win. He was interviewed on a radio station here this morning and said "he as a 2nd rounder and now all star is unprecented blah, blah, blah". He was asked to rate himself as a top pg and said he now considers himself top 5. BS, let him win something and in the East alone I would still take Kidd, AI, Marbury etc.)
