Tracy McGrady was Robbed of the MVP

Tracy McGrady displayed quite a show in the NBA All-Star Game.

BUT, that didn't stopped LeBron James from virtually stealing the All-Star MVP honors from the hometown hero.

LeBron James was so intent in grabbing the MVP honors that every time he touches the ball, he keeps shooting three's, like he's there playing by himself. LeBron James did finish with 29 points to lead his team.

James claimed he was not even thinking of taking the MVP Award away from T-Mac when it was quite clear that he was salivating for it right from the get-go.

Chauncey Billups was a prime candidate for the MVP with his 15 points and seven assists. Shaq, with 17 points and nine rebounds was also one who could've been the 2006 All-Star MVP.

But between those two, Tracy McGrady, who had a stellar performance, 36 points, a game-high, was the one who probably deserved it the most. And it didn't matter if his team won or lost.

After a dry spell of having bad shooting nights, Tracy McGrady was back in his old form, putting up three's out of nowhere and draining them down like mere lay-ups.

It was just too bad Kobe Bryant lost the game for the West, letting LeBron pry the All-Star MVP honors away from the hometown hero, when he fumbled the basketball to Rasheed Wallace.

As a result, LeBron James became the youngest ever to win the NBA All-Star MVP.
