First off, this might turn out to be the lamest All-Star weekend of All-Time. The three point shooting contest field is lackluster with a bunch of guys no one really cares about outside of Love. The dunk contest may go down in history as the worst ever.
The thing I'm looking forward to, which has been fun recently, is the rookie-soph game. They just did the draft on NBA TV with Shaq and Chuck.
Both Kawhi and Tiago were in the game and they were two of the last 6 picks
Charles got both Kawhi (who was one of the last 4 taken and drawn out of a box to Charles) and Tiago (who was the last pick before names got thrown in the box).
This should be a fun game though and Tiago will be paired with Cousins so that should be pretty damn nice.
Rosters:
Chuck - Kyrie Irving, Demarcus Cousins, Tiago Splitter, Kawhi Leonard, Gordon Hayward, Paul George, John Wall, Marshon Brooks, Evan Turner
Shaq - Blake Griffin, Jeremy Lin, Rubio, Markief Morris, Greg Monroe, Landry Fields, Norris Cole, Kemba Walker, Brandon Knight, Tristan Thompson
I think this is the event of the weekend I'm most excited about as well. I like Chucks team better, probably because of the silver and black representing.
On TNT's NBA Tip-Off about 5 mins ago Ernie said that Shaq offered Charles Lin for Splitter and Charles turned it down....
Splitter is the best player in the rising star challenge
For those wondering, Tiago Splitter was picked dead last, before they put the final 4 names in a random drawing (Kawhi Leonard, Tristan Thompson, Brandon Knight, Evan Turner).
Why is Blake Griffin in this game??
I'm going with Chucks team.
Thanks for the did not read brah.
chuck has better team, not because Spurs guys in it.
Chuck
Bigs Demarcus Cousins, Tiago Splitter, Derrick Wiliams
Wings: Kawhi Leonard, Gordon Hayward, Paul George, Marshon Brooks, Evan Turner
Guards: Kyrie Irving, John Wall
Shaq
Bigs:Blake Griffin, Markief Morris, Greg Monroe, Tristan Thompson
Wings:Landry Fields
Guards:Jeremy Lin, Rubio, Norris Cole, Kemba Walker, Brandon Knight
Chuck is holding all the wings, Shaq has 5 PG's(some will play off the ball, but that's a lot of PG's. ALL PG LINEUP IS COMING!!!

Because his rookie year was missed completely due to injury therefore it did not count. Last year, even though drafted a year prior, was counted as his rookie season since it was his first game. This is his sop re year.
I realize that, my point is that he's in the actual all star game, putting him in this game is stupid. Takes away from some poor kid that should get his five seconds of fame. It's dumb to put him in this game IMO
I don't think the question was regarding eligibility. I think the question is regarding WHY he would play this game when he's already going to be in the ASG on Sunday. Tim was selected for the R/S game as a rookie, but excused when he was elected to the ASG.
splitter is going to shut him down tbh...
He's not doing the dunk contest so I think he's ok to do 2 events
That's different though. Wow, one things certain, you were right, lamest all star weekend ever. Only looking forward to the rising stars game, and even that's taking a hit with Powder Griffin playing
Tiago and DeMarcus are going to wreck Shaq's team.
As long as lin is present, ratings won't take a hit.
chucks team can go lengthy and destroy shaqs team
headcase, splitter, leonard, george, turner
ps. why is wall even in the selection? dude is a draft busts
Chuck just has to run P&R with splitter for the easy W. Hope he knows that.
ashame NEAL was not in the selection
2 spurs taken last behind the scrubs b4 them....
are they playin in their respective home team colors? or is this another blue vs red bull ?
No injuries please.
+1 Was just thinking that...
