The 6'10 Tim Duncan shared All Star MVP with 7'1 Shaq

All star game thread! Who would have thought!

Sorry, you fail YET again..

Never in Tim's career has he been listed at 6'10", and at that time he was listed at 7'0".

Considering you are a stage five clinger/stalker, this is unacceptable for you.

They fought for a while as to who would get to take the trophy home. Stern decided to cut it down middle and give each half. Duncan was appalled at ruining the beautiful item - and said that he would rather Shaq keep the entire trophy. At that point, Stern knew who the MVP's rightful owner was. True story.

Does anyone know why they were Co-MVP?

Looking at statistics for the game, Duncan was the MVP.
Why did Duncan had to share it with Shaq?

I remember that vividly.

"You let go."

"No no, after you."

I remember that was BS. Tim should have won it outright.

I dunno about that Tim giving Shaq the trophy story, never saw that.

Tim told Shaq, "Don't worry, I'll get the REAL trophy at the end of the season." And boy did Tim show him in the end.....wait... what?
