Bryant netted 30 points on 12-of-23 shooting with eight rebounds and five assists, while Bynum scored 27 on 10-of-15 field goals and brought |

In the NBA, David Stern is actually a competent business man so you don't have to worry about David West nailing a jumper in the waning seconds of his league's All-Star game to give the Los Angeles Lakers homecourt advantage. The game is what it is, a fun exhibition that lets you see the league's best playing pickup basketball that would make the folks in Harlem's Rucker League green with envy. So, while we can all agree the game is meaningless, the |
