With the highest score in the history of the event, the Eastern Conference team beat the Western Conference 211-186 this Sunday in another NBA All-Star game in which the defenses were conspicuous by their absence and in which Damian Lillard was elected MVP in the middle of a loud whistle and LeBron James reached the participation record.

EAST W pic.twitter.com/jNVvqiN7oa— NBA (@NBA) February 19, 2024 The return of the classic duels between the East and the West was another attempt to the NBA for increasing competitiveness on the court, after six editions in which mixed teams competed and chosen by their two captains. The Indiana All-Star will also be remembered for the twentieth participation of LeBron James, who joined the show with some dunks that defied his 39 years of age. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar, who has problems with his left ankle, was only on the court for 14 minutes and had 8 points and 4 rebounds. “It has been an absolute honor to be able to step on the court throughout my career and be with the best players in the world year after year,” James stated. «It is something I will never forget. “It’s part of my journey.” Lack of interest on the part of some players Some players found it difficult to hide their lack of interest in the middle of the bullfight that the game became from the first minute. Luka Doncic (West) tried to score from his own zone and then missed a dunk that he had assisted with a pass to the backboard, while Towns, 2.13m tall, failed to attempt a dunk by passing the ball under the legs. In other notable plays, Trae Young made a self-pass under Kevin Durant’s legs and Nikola Jokic joked about his allergy to hitting the rim by feinting with a violent dunk and then gently putting the ball down. The East dominated the scoreboard from the first quarter and had a maximum advantage of 27 points, preventing a tight finish, the only way in which moments of intensity have been seen in the All-Star in recent years.
