The theme song was by Houston native Chamillionaire who made a new version of his hit "Turn It Up". Trailing by 21, the East rode the hot shooting of LeBron James and the teamwork of the four All-Stars from the Detroit Pistons to a 122-120 victory over the West. The 21-year old James, who scored 29 points and grabbed six rebounds, became the youngest player to win MVP, which seemed to spoil the fun for Tracy McGrady. With the score tied, Dwyane Wade, who finished with 20 points, hit the game-winning layup with 16 seconds left. Tracy McGrady of the Houston Rockets led all players with a game-high 36 points. The Detroit Pistons tied a record with the 1998 Lakers (Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Eddie Jones, and Nick Van Exel) by sending four players to the All-Star game.
