Game Thread: Team World vs Team Africa; 8:00 AM CST, 4:00 PM Riga Time

:pop: and :bobo will be on Team Africa.

Game will be televised on ESPN.

Boris next to... Batum and his replacement :lol

Can't wait to watch this. Of course I'm rooting for Team Africa. But I am looking forward to watching Vucevic play with the Gasol brothers.

Cheers for starting the thread and for the Riga Time OP!:bobo

Giannis lol

Would be nice to see Batum on Pop's team. His dream.

Beat Chris Paul & the Gasols Pop

Ibaka not playing?

Ibaka had surgery in March and still isn't 100%, I wonder why Mudiay didn't join though

I guess Luc technically shouldn't have a name on his jersey, lol

Pop beating the world.

NBA = F:lolcked

There is no team Africa or team World jersey. Everyone is in their NBA team (or former team for FAs) jersey.

This is one of those games where they stop the game if someone in the audience starts to bleed, not if a player bleeds.

Mutombo entering the game!!!

Mutombo still looks good tbh

CP3 bricks :lol

Why the surprise? most naive coach of all time for a reason, and also still with the cursed beard...

Some observations from watching this game:

Boris Diaw can really lead a team, got a ton of respect for this guy
if he comes in and puts his heart for our team this year, we are going to go places

Also, imo Boris Diaw is a better playing coach NOW than lebron james
Boris KNOWS how to involve his teammates in the right way

wow, Dikembe and Hakeem playing for Pop

just awesome

great historical game! kudos!

You're a fucking idiot. Aldridge is a multiple time All Star and All NBA player. Ibaka blocks some shots, and has a jumper. Once his springs go in his late 20s/early 30s, he's useless.
