02/15/2009 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Perfect together...Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal. That was the story line of the 58th NBA All-Star Game.
Bryant scored 27 points and O'Neal, playing on his home court, tallied 17 points on 8-of-9 shooting, helping the Western Conference to a 146-119 thrashing of the East at US Airways Center.
The dynamic duo played together for the Los Angeles Lakers from 1996-2004, winning three championships until O'Neal was dealt to Miami. Last February, three days after the All-Star contest, O'Neal was traded back to the Western Conference as he joined the Phoenix Suns.
The two were named as co-MVPs of the All-Star Game, with each garnering a third MVP honor for the contest.
"I'm just happy to be here, it's probably my last one," said O'Neal. "At 36, I'm just glad the coaches voted me in. I'm just happy Kobe was looking for me today, other guys were looking for me today."
Bryant was the MVP of the game in 2002 and '07, while O'Neal won it in 2004 and was co-MVP with San Antonio's Tim Duncan in 2000.
It's the first time Kobe and Shaq have played together since 2004, and they were coached by current Lakers coach Phil Jackson.
"It was fun," said Bryant. "Phil diagramed a few things for us to play a two- man game like we used to. We went back to what we were used to doing, so it was fun."
New Orleans guard Chris Paul had 14 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds for the West, while Phoenix's Amare Stoudemire scored 19.
Cleveland's LeBron James had 20 points for the East, which also received 18 apiece from Miami's Dwyane Wade and Boston's Paul Pierce.

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.
NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
