Lakers fans couldn’t have asked for more. In addition, the first All-Star game in the Los Angeles area since 1983 was competitive from start to finish and w asn't decided until the final minute. Shaquille O ’Neal made nine dunks in a 24-point, 11 -rebound performance that helped the West ern Conference beat the East 136- 132 on Sunday night to become the 12th player from the host city to earn All-Star MVP honors. Kobe Bryant scored 20 points in 36 minutes after arriving late and missing the team picture. O ’Neal shot 12-of-19 while play ing 24 minutes in relief of Houston’s Yao Ming, who was pretty good himself with 16 points in 19 min utes. Yao started at center for the West after edging O ’Neal in fan ballot ing. “I’m not really one known to be taki ng over All-Star games,” O ’Neal said. “This is a couple days you spend with the best players in the league, so I just wanted tocome out and have a good time. “I said to myself, 'I f it’s going good, nobody is really shining, I’m going to go ahead and go for it.’ Third and fourth quarter, got a few dunks, scored a few buckets.” O ’Neal also thrilled the fans at Staples Center by making like a point guard on a couple occasions. He dribbled the length of the court and slammed in his eighth dunk for a 126-123 lead. His final dunk with 1:56 to play tied it at 129. “I had a lot of fun,” he said. “A couple of people told me if I get it, there’s an opening, they want me to go coast-to-coast. A couple of times, I had a couple openings. A couple of times, I didn't finish them, but the one in the fourth quarter. I crossed (Tracy McGrady) up at half Shaquille O'Neal dunks as Ron Artest looks on during the second quarter of the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. O'Neal scored 24 points -1 8 of them came on dunks - and was named MVP. (AP photo) and it was a big hole and I just took it.” San Antonio’s Tim Duncan, co- MVP with O ’Neal in the 2000 All- Star game, made a short bank shot over Jamaal Magloire with 26.1 sec onds left to give the West a 133-132 lead. After Duncan’s big shot. O ' Neal shadowed McGrady, forcing the Orlando star into a turnover Two free throws by the W est's Ray Allen and another by Duncan completed the scoring.
