Please Believe Me, The Final Victory Will Definitely Be Ours

The Western Conference All-Stars were stunned as they watched the Eastern Conference All-Stars' fluid offense and spectacular teamwork.

In fact, over the previous two seasons, the Eastern Conference All-Stars had barely shown any real team chemistry. Players either fought alone in isolation or ran simple fast breaks, with no genuine coordination to speak of.

Joe Johnson, meanwhile, averaged
