Kobe-Shaq Duo Lead The West to All-Star Victory

After almost 5 years before Kobe and Shaq wear the same uniform. And just like the old times together, they were unstoppable!

Kobe led all scorers with 27 points, shared by O'Neal with 17 points in just 11 minutes to win the 2009 NBA All-Star Game and share the game MVP award.

"It felt like flashbacks," O'Neal said during an interview. "It felt like '99 to '02."

Amare Stoudemire scored 19 points, while Roy, Parker, Gasol and Chris Paul all scored 14 points to help the team.

"We wanted to be aggressive," Bryant said. "We talked about it before going out there, we wanted to play. We lost last year and we wanted to make sure we came out here and played the game hard, come out here with a win."

LeBron James led the East with 20 points. Paul Pierce and Dwyane Wade each scored 18. And Dwight Howard contributed 3 steals, 3 block, 9 rebounds and 13 points but it was not enough to beat the West 146-119.
