After his 10-point, three-rebound, 12-minute all-star debut Sunday, Timberwolves guard Wally Szczerbiak was asked to name his most memorable moment of the weekend.

He pondered, then grinned sheepishly.

"Probably hitting the side of the backboard is a moment that will stick out in my mind for a long time,'' Szczerbiak said referring to his first jump shot of the night, which hit hard about 10 inches to the right of the rim.

Indeed, the moments that will likely stick out for most spectators of the Western Conference's 135-120 blowout of the East at First Union Center probably won't be the wowing dunks, flashy assists and pinpoint three-pointers that dominated it.

Instead, they'll remember Michael Jordan's missed dunk.

They'll remember that Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, the MVP of the game, was booed by his hometown crowd.

And yes, a few fans in Minnesota may even remember Szczerbiak's brick.
