1. LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers): MVP of All Star Game:
No All Star game is complete without a star-studded performance from the King, LeBron James. This was without a doubt one of the best All Star Games in a long long time, finally fixing the boring debacle that the East v West had become. There were 26 fouls committed and a protest over a replay review, unheard of in an All Star game. It came down to the final possession and some amazing clutch defence from Team LeBron to seal the win, 148-145.
LeBron had 29 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, almost a triple double and led his team to victory. Finally, an All Star game had the intensity of a real basketball match, all 24 players showing their will to win and beat their opponents, which was evident in the final 10 seconds where team Lebron played some stunning defence to lockdown Curry and DeRozan and win the game. Damian Lillard tried a comeback with DeRozan from the bench, both scoring 21 points each but it was not enough to overcome Team LeBron, led by the MVP captain, who was well supported by Kevin Durant with 19 points. This weekend was a certain success and everyone will now look forward to the next All Star weekend if this one was so exciting.
