Between the years 2010 - 2012, the NBA probably had their most athletic years in NBA history. Blake, Westbrook, LeBron, Wade, Rose, Howard, Amar'e and more were at their peaks. Just pure explosiveness, power, speed, domination, if you wanted those qualities, you would always look to that very little small raw, talented era.
I'm re-watching this as of March 4th 2023. I wish all the NBA allstar games were like this, a perfect combination of high scoring, exciting plays, and a very close score at the end.
This all star game alone was an example of how both Kobe and Lebrons mentality was from a clutch winning stand point, when Kobe was playing that good defense on Lebron, he choked at the last minute 😂😂😂
Watching this after 2024 ASG........and I'd rather watch this a million times before the 2024 game again. They still had drive and intensity coming to the end of the game, they were playing to win. Well except LeBoring passing up the clutch shot. MJ and Kobe (RIP) should be the goat discussion: End of Story. I'm just so grateful I got to see Kobe play live during the Playoffs and win in LA.....driving down the middle of the lane for a dunk I still see in highlights. Grown up watching this game and its a shadow of its former brilliance.
This all star game was the last of the previous era when majority of them where in there prime minus after this year the new era starting coming in starting with Kyrie AD lillard etc
@@rovy1303 if he was the best then he would've attempted to shoot AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE ATTEMPTS. Not just being picky and going for an easy drive or close jumper. MJ or Kobe is taking that ball and shooting a mid range jumper or drawing 2 defenders and passing out instead of passing up from the top of the key. Theres levels to the game and Lebron will never be at the same as MJ or Kobe was.
There is no way that Lebron doesnt take that shot with 6seconds to go today. I cant believe his sloppy pass lead to a TO to end the game. Very exciting nonetheless
That beef from KD at 6:17 was insane! I know it's all-star game but personally I wouldn't let that one slide. if i were Dwight imma give that young fella a huge ass whack-down when he attempted to dunk! Still best NBA era, period

Your Average Guy Blame the 3 point shooting. Seems like everyone in the NBA nowadays want to be like Stephen Curry or James Harden
Wade's peak was 09
@@emjay1249 and still had not great knees imagine if he never ever injured them
Especiall back then bron's athleticism was in another level
2013 too
All star game 2012: 500 dunks made
All star game 2022: 500 threes made
Kobe and Melo was looking at bron on that last possession like "c'mon man you was supposed to shoot that" lmao
Exactly his peers knew he was the best in the league wanted him to take the mantle and Stop being scared
Actually melo was calling for the ball😭
No, Melo wanted to shoot himself (which makes more sense anyway)
I like that Kobe went at lebron like...."c'mon Bron.....finish the game"
13:17 Carmelo looked at LeBron like Bron looked at JR Smith... 😂😂😂
He learn it from here hahahhaha
Hahahaha

13:13 Bron robbed us of what could’ve been one of the most iconic Kobe vs LeBron moments when he passed taking the last shot against Kobe
Passed it up twice
@@Ash-uh2othe always passing up the last shots not suprising nothing wrong with trusting teammates but bruh come on
He scared, always
Classic lebron. That second pass was ridiculous. He was frightened even though he was having a great game
My favorite all star game 💯 never forget and these were the greatest all star jerseys ever made 💯💯
The colors in this game were crazy
This was the very first all star game I watch live. Still my favorite

Bruh this was the last all star game everyone took serious, everyone was gunning for a title.
After watching the 2023 all star game….. man I miss thus
How is it any different? There is literally no defense being played until the end of the game
7:53 hahahahahahahhaah
melo-DWIGHT!!!!!
dwight-that wasnt me.
HAHAHHAA
this was the last good all star game
Blame the 3 point shooting team haha
I was in the 3rd row. I’ll never forget
2020's is not bad
This one was good
@@simonlee3370 yeah. Its was better than the years before
They should bring back the East vs. West All-Stars game.
Just got some watching it 5 minutes ago. The 2024 west vs east. Nothing like this video, that’s why I’m here so I can reminisce
Man wat a time to be alive
Back when Russ didn’t have the worst hands in NBA history 😂
who is watching this after 2024 ASG
When the all star game was fun then competitive at the end like it’s supposed to be.
@3:25 Iggy from JJ reddick’s podcast.
Iggy’s first all star bucket via Lob from Rondo
"Dwight!" "That wasn't me." XD
best all star kicks ever too the orange adidas series & big bang brons!!
Probably the most entertaining all star game ever
NOT AYMAN fact
Now we have to deal with the "fantasy draft" format of the All Star Gane
Brandon Morris the draft is better than east vs west because everyone’s going to the west
True, but I liked the East vs. West format, mainly because it used to give out home-court advantage in the NBA Finals.
Brandon Morris true that was cool so the best record team wouldn’t always get home court
When 6 of these all stars now play for the Lakers
Both squads were awesome
This all star game was the last of the previous era when majority of them where in there prime minus after this year the new era starting coming in starting with Kyrie AD lillard etc
Once again we are in a new era with these new guys.
This was still the 2010’s era…I still count AD, Dame, and Kyrie the 2010’s era
This era ain’t no different from wat we in now
LeBron passing up a chance to be clutch yet again
He's the best clutch scorer in nba history what are u on

First one i watched still the best still my favorite
Blake Griffin and cp3 tore this game up 😏
westbrook last dunk is soo underrated..
yup that was a supernova he just pulled and nobody said nuthin..
Yeah that dunk was nasty definitely my favorite dunk from westbrook
There is no way that Lebron doesnt take that shot with 6seconds to go today. I cant believe his sloppy pass lead to a TO to end the game. Very exciting nonetheless
8:39 its funny that they ended up being teamates the next season too 😂😂😂
Who’s here after hearing the Lakers & nets are the 2012 all stars?
Best all star game everybody in the prime pull up in that game.
LeBron low-key was always afraid of Kobe
Griffin went from being able to jump out the building to barely being able to dunk in a game.
Even kobe was mad LeBron didnt take the shot glad to see lbj isnt timid no more in the final 2 mins of games hopefully he gets his 3rd ring this year
Tyler Hamilton He's finally taking them after that 1st ring. Amazing how much confidence he has now, too passive at times back then.
He didn't
Uhh 3-6 with overrated stats years later lol
@@danialqureshi Uhh 3-6 with overrated stats years later lol
Hahaha he is still passing the ball for the last shot too bad
Westbrook to nowitzki: the man👍
man...the way kobe came out of the smoke....wow!!!!!!
this game was so good
Man that "LOL" had me fucking dead
the last time d rose on an all star game.
Well LeBron James Dwayne Wade And Chris bosh were teammates with the Miami Heat
Lebron be like: Ï THOUGHT IT WAS TIE.
Good God, I'm a Laker fan and I don't even remember Andrew Bynum being in any ASG. Then again, I had stopped watching these games since about 2004.
Anyone else watching this during quarantine
I did not see Jr smith what clothes was he wearing
That beef from KD at 6:17 was insane! I know it's all-star game but personally I wouldn't let that one slide. if i were Dwight imma give that young fella a huge ass whack-down when he attempted to dunk! Still best NBA era, period
R.I.P. Kobe Bryant 1978-2020
Anyone have full version?
Well Chris bosh LeBron James and Dwayne wade was playing with the heat so they were an all star with the heat like 2011 12 13 and 14 like 4 times
watching in 2023
when kevin love dunk on dwight and westbrook started talkin shit 🤣
5:17
RIP Kobe
Carmelo didn't play with the west anymore he is playing with the east so carmelo was missing playing with the west he played with kobe Bryant
Kobe PISSED he wouldn’t take the shot. “Shoot the ball!”
All-star jerseys used to be this cool🥲
Russell westbrook something else man omg !!!!
This is where the 2k21 2010 all star jerseys come from?
Looks like Kobe Bryant was upset because carmelo anthony left the west to go to east with LeBron James
n the east still lost lmao
Lebron was 38 hot ...that was dumbest turnover u could've made
Well Chris Paul And Blake Griffin were teammates with the clippers
only the media says this guy is clutch
7:35 song name ?
GoldenRay ごめん、知らん
busta rhymes estelle world go round
Lebron chickens out he know Kobe can guard him so he chooses to surrender the ball
Durant came for the double team idk why lebron didn't pass to melo.
i was here because of the Shay Shay and Stephen A. Jordan-LeBron debate. 😂
11:08, that’s exactly how I shoot, 😂😂😂
Lmao at the 8:45 mark. Rofl!
Bravo
7:54 This still gets me everytime. "That wasn't me." 😂😂
Dis era ain no different than wat we in now
It is totally different now. Idk what you're on
Lebron should take the shot in the end men. It was a kobe vs lebron moment but bron ruined it. Amazing all star game this one
back when Bron was always scared to take that shot
Came here after D.Rose all star introduction..Hes Kawhi back then
Haahahah that lol had me in tears hahaha
Real basketball
The following year kobe hounded bron like a mad dog fullcourt 2 blocks and a steal in the final minutes…
I missed this griffin
Who else here Bc of lebron 9 sneakers dropping this Friday
Well Dwight Howard told kobe Bryant to give the ball to him
I don’t get people saying kobe couldn’t guard lebron when he literally has multiple times not even being in his prime
RIP KOBE :'(
@5:44 lebron becomes the lower-case goat.
The infamous lebron unclutch asg 😂
This was 1 of the best allstar games eva
Lol Kobe was just hanging out there did nothing but still they won the game. He is like "I m just here to support these guys". ;-)
Kobe had 27pts this game tf you talking about
0:21
6:17 y KD yelling like he just posterized him😂
Where is the Defense????
8:39 well this didnt age well😔
Who sing that song around the world?
This was the beginning of the NBA needing LeBron. However the players still wanted “it”. They’re spoiled now, playing half the season, jacking 3s.
The Clock: Season 3 (2012)
Prime Athletic Blake Griffin
wow time fly so fast
Kevin Love dunking on Dwight Howard's back is the whitest thing I've ever seen
Loved this allstar game they kinda sucked after this lol
Luis Munoz last seasons was good
If d wade just caught that pass
It’s only cp3 and Blake vs wade lbj
