Mo Williams started a third quarter rally to help the Cleveland Cavaliers win against the Boston Celtics 101-93 last Sunday.

The Cavs were trailing in the first three quarters but Mo gave spark to his team to make a 21-9 run to end the quarter. In the fourth quarter the Cavs' swarming defense took over and the Cavs didn’t look back as they defeated Boston in Game 1 at the Q.

Mo Williams scored 20 points on 8-for-14 shooting and did his first slam-dunk as a Cavalier. The rare dunk of Williams gave the sold out crowd more life and energy to cheer his team.

"(The dunk) gave us energy as a team, but then right after that, I hit a jumper and then three or four plays in a row after that, they called my number and I was productive", said Williams.

Lebron James, the back-to-back league MVP, tallied 35 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Lebron was 12-for-24 from the floor, including 3-of-6 from beyond the arc.

The East and West All-Stars collide in front of the world record crowd of 108,713 in the magnificent and extremely large stadium of the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas. The Dallas Cowboy’s stadium also exhibits the spectacular game in their gigantic 160 x 72 foot video screens. Just like what Mavs’ Dirk Nowitzki said, “Everything is bigger in Texas.” The futuristic location was not only the amazing part of it but the game itself, as the East defeats the West in dramatic fashion 141-139.

The 2010 All-Star is a great achievement in basketball and sports. The minds behind the marvelous game were Jerry Jones owner of Dallas Cowboys and Mark Cuban owner of the Dallas Mavericks. "It's a remarkable milestone and a testament to the popularity of our players, to Jerry Jones' tenacity and vision and to Mark Cuban's imagination," said NBA Commissioner David Stern.

The game showcased the tremendous talents of the players. In the first half they played easily and showcased their offensive skill. You can see Dwight Howard releasing from beyond the arc which you won’t normally see in their regular game and many alley-hoop dunks. But as the game goes into the second half it becomes defensively tight. They played as if it’s a play-off game.

Dwayne Wade won the MVP Honors as he led all scorers with 28 points (12 of 16 shooting), dish out 11 assists and sneak in five steals. Lebron James helps Wade as he registered 25 points, six assists and five rebounds. On the losing team, Carmelo Anthony leads the West with 27 points and 10 rebounds.

I got to watch an exciting NBA game earlier. It was a battle between the top two teams in NBA--the Cleveland Cavaliers (top team in the East) and the Los Angeles Lakers (defending champions, number one team in the West); with the top elite players, Lebron James and Kobe Bryant, who both became MVP's of the league.

This night was also very historical for Bryant. He was the youngest player (at 31 years and 151 days) who reached the 25,000-point mark, making him the 15th player who have reached this mark.

But Bryant's prominence was all altered when the Cavs won the game (93-87) with James scoring 37 points, giving 9 assists and 5 rebounds. James made five of his seven shots for 12 points in the final 12 minutes, helping the Cavs hang on to their 67-65 lead entering the fourth quarter. James once again proved that he is 'The King' of the court!

I believe that James can go way beyond Bryant's feat in his career because James, at age 25 and at almost 7 years in NBA, has already made 16,062 points. I really look up to James as a basketball player because of his exciting offensive and defensive plays. I love the way he plays "defense" especially with his impossible blocks coming from behind. He has already attested that nothing is impossible in basketball especially with his winning shots and blocks.

Here are a few of James' winning blocks and shots:

I really believe that James (the Cavs) will make it to the finals and win his first championship crown and live up to his name as 'The King'!
