Shaq Dunks His Way
to All-Star MVP
J Game close
from start to
dfurcf's finish

Page B7
(AP)— Shaq got theMVPaward,
and Kobe played the most minutes.
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.
Wallace Begins Life as a Hawk
(AP)— Following his first prac
tice Monday night since being
traded by the Portland Trail Blaz
ers to the Atlanta Hawks, Rasheed
W allace avoided making any big
statem ents or bold predictions
for a team th at’s on course to
miss the NBA playoffs for the
fourth straight year.
With a fresh start in Atlanta,
“Right now, w e're just going to
Rasheed Wallace speaks to the try to get it off the ground," Wallace
media after his first practice as said. “There's 29 games left, so
an Atlanta Hawk on Monday at w e're going to try and win at least
P h ilips Arena. (AP photo) half of them — more than half, ac
tually. That’s our main goal right
now.”
A tlanta acquired W allace, a
two-time All-Star, and swingman
W esley Person in a Feb. 9 deal

R atliff and backup point guard
Dan Dickau to Portland. W allace
replaces A bdur-R ahim as the
starting pow er forw ard and will
make his Hawks debut W ednes
day night at New Jersey.
Wallace, who starred for two
seasons at North Carolina before
Washington made him the fourth
overall pick in 1995, knew the Trail
Blazers wanted to trade him. Buthe
brushed aside any notions that
some fans might consider him a
malcontent.
The tem peram ental forw ard

last year for threatening an offi
