It becomes officially official tomorrow. Stern is going to be in town to award Houston the ASG.

Despite the announcement I'm guessing that he gets booed! :lol:

David Stern referred to Houston as the "Basketball Capitol of the World" in today's announcement. From what some people I know with the Rockets say as far as Stern is concerned Houston will probably get the event once every 5 or 6 years.

Is parsons not gonna be in the rook/soph game? I looked at some list and he wasn't on it. I kno he shoots free throws like shaq but I think he deserves to be in the game.

Is it that he lacks a big name? Or am I a homer?

It's no longer rookies vs sophomores.

each team will have 9 players. Shaq will coach one team and Barkley will coach the other. there will be a "draft"

the list of players eligible to be drafted is supposed to be released today. players will either be rookies or sophomores but the teams can contain both.

I think this is a dumb change.

I want to see a team of rookies vs a team of 12+ year veterans

Sophomores selected include DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento Kings), Landry Fields (New York Knicks), Blake Griffin (Los Angeles Clippers), Gordon Hayward (Utah Jazz), Greg Monroe (Detroit Pistons), Tiago Splitter (San Antonio Spurs), Evan Turner (Philadelphia 76ers) Paul George (Indiana Pacers), and John Wall (Washington Wizards).

Freshmen selected include Kyrie Irving (Cleveland Cavaliers), Ricky Rubio (Minnesota Timberwolves), Brandon Knight (Detroit Pistons), Kawhi Leonard (San Antonio Spurs), Markieff Morris (Phoenix Suns), Marshon Brooks (New Jersey Nets), Tristan Thompson (Cleveland Cavaliers), Kemba Walker (Charlotte Bobcats) and Derrick Williams (Minnesota Timberwolves).

I've heard the change, but there's supposed to be the same number of rookies and sophomores right? They just get mixed up. I just figured he would be the only guy representing us that weekend.

Lowry should but I hope he doesn't. He would probably go all out 150% and be tired the next few games

Ohhh thanks for that list. Thats the same as I read earlier I guess when u look at it it's tough to put parsons over anyone on it

Parsons and Tristan Thompson both have 13.03 PER
Markieff Morris has a 12.12 PER

Post #12 » by **jwise44** » Wed Feb 8, 2012 11:48 pm

But they both have bigger names

I hope this inspires Marcus who I really forgot was on our team. Your bro who was supposed to be worse makes it and you are in the d league

Just the motivation I need to come to America in 2013. See a regular season game or 2, go to the all star game as well.
