It’s CP3’s world and his teammates are just dunking in it.
Chris Paul was named MVP of the 2013 NBA All-Star Game after leading the West to a 143-138 win over the East in Houston on Sunday night. The Clippers’ point guard scored 20 points and handed out 15 assists in a masterful performance. Paul joins Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas as the only players in All-Star history to notch such a 20/15 performance.
Kevin Durant scored 19 points in the first half and seemed a frontrunner for MVP honors in the case of a West win, but Paul took over the game down the stretch, dissecting the East defense to set up his teammates and create his own shot. The 27-year-old, six-time All-Star scored or was credited with an assist on 15 of the final 24 points scored by the West as it held off the East.
Durant finished with 30 points and enough highlight dunks to hear plenty of Dunk Contest pressure in 2014. Carmelo Anthony paced the East with 26 points and 12 rebounds.
