Bryant had 27 points to lead all scorers, O'Neal 17 in just 11 minutes., West coach Phil Jackson quoted on the reports, "That's the first time I have seen an MVP that played 11 minutes in an All-Star game." There is no doubt about it."

"It felt like old times," O'Neal said. "I miss those times. He was really looking for me, especially when we went to a pick-and-roll and they had Rashard Lewis on me."

"I tell you what, those two guys together, that's a deadly combination as we all saw tonight and we have all seen in the past," East coach Mike Brown said. "They are where they are right now."
