Around the 18-20 mark, Kg is interviewed and he trashes the West's use of zone in an all-star game. I completely agree that it just ruins the fun of the game. I mean, WHO PLAYS ZONE IN AN ALL-STAR GAME? Insert more hate of Phil Jackson here.

Trying to force the other team into outside shots is kind of not in the spirit of this kind of game which is about the fans being entertained.  If someone lights it up and hits 8 3's in a row, great, but last night it was just stupidity. The East should have run a Box and 1 or 1-3-1 zone just to defensively flip them off.    ::)

And play your starters 30 + minutes.  Phil is a tea bag.

He makes a good point.  And I'll never get tired of his interviews with Craig Sager. 
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

And Phil was implementing actual plays at practice. Wow, Phil, way to totally not get the concept of an all star game.
