Chuck's team is head and shoulders better than Shaq's team, even in the all-dunk no-defense setting of that game.

I fully expect them to win.

Not in an all star setting. Chuck hardly has any guards

i have team Chuck winning and I'm predicting Faried as the MVP. Kyrie has a bad ankle and has to play on Sunday. I don't think he's going to get huge minutes

Rubio and Leonard are "starting backcourt on a contender" caliber. They got this.

If it was a regular NBA game, I would take Chuck's team easily. But since this is a guard-dominated exhibition, I'm not so sure.

I will say that this team is set up for Ricky and Alexey to have huge performances.

The sad thing is they could've easily drafted both Leonard and Faried in 2011.

Yeah, in games like this you just need pure scorers and Shaq's got the best two in Irving and Lillard. Guys like Leonard and Faried are great in the regular season, but they're not going to dominate all star events.

Shaq's team will probably win by 25.

Davis, Faried, Leonard, Beal and Rubio is like an actual team. I don't see how they lose with Ricky lobbing to the big guys and dishing to Leonard and Beal for 3.
