I like Chucks team a lot more regardless of it having Splitter and Leonard on it.

[Darkwaters]

I read that only the first 16 players were actually selected and the remaining 4 were just randomly assigned afterwards. Splitter was taken 16th but Leonard was randomly placed with Chuck.

[Mal]

This will be serious or all star game formula ?

[slick'81]

its not rookies v sophs anymore its the rising star whatever the hell that means

[chazley]

Shaq has ruined Inside the NBA. They need to bring Webber back, he had just started to come around and was fitting in well. Maybe I have a preconceived notion about Shaq being bad because I predicted it from the day he retired, but he is terrible in an analyst role.

I don't think he's that bad, he brings some quality Shaq humor.

Like the whole thing about him not knowing his jersey was being retired by LA, he was like "stop joking around guys" for like 5 minutes.

Plus, the Black Pat Riley. Nuff said.
