Allen Iverson led the way for the East with 15 points, 10 assists and five steals as the East downed the West All-Stars 125-115 in the 54th Annual NBA All-Star Game. The win ended a three game losing streak for the Eastern Conference.

The center of attention was Miami's Shaquille O'Neal who unveiled a real working sneaker phone before the game and did a crazy dance as he was being introduced to the crowd. O'Neal hammed it up much to the delight of the sellout crowd in Denver.

O'Neal joked with reporters about the phone prior to the game. 'It's big, you can take it anywhere, make people look at you,' O'Neal said. 'And it prevents muggers. Kick them right in the ass with that Shaq shoe phone.'

The West's Ray Allen led all scorers with 17 points on the night. Seven different players for the East were in double figures while the West also had seven.

LeBron James had the prettiest play in the game as he teamed up with Iverson on an alley-oop dunk that left the crowd in awe. The 20-year-old James became the second youngest All-Star game starter in NBA history.

Earlier, Josh Smith won the NBA's slam dunk competition. Smith paid tribute to former Hawks star Dominique Wilkins by wearing his jersey during his first dunk. He later switched to his own jersey and earned a perfect score to win the competition.
