He's playing on a team with Irving and Lillard?

Good luck having any impact at all Kemba....

Looks like Knight was the last actual pick (16), while 17-20 were assigned randomly. Kemba and Thomas were both PGs that were "undrafted."

Geez, I think Shaq ended up with the top 3 PGs...

Lillard, Kyrie, Kemba vs. Rubio, Knight, Thomas

Muggsy will also participate in All Star weekend. I wonder if he will be wearing a Charlotte Hornets Jersey?

Kemba not even getting picked is a eff'ing joke

Not surprised because Shaq and Chuck picked the teams. Pretty sure Shaq's logic is "this guy's a Bobcat. probably sucks, move on."

yeah honestly kembas arguably the second best player in this whole thing, kind of ridiculous he didnt get drafted

Three-Point Shootout participants:
Paul George, Kyrie Irving, Steve Novak, Ryan Anderson, Matt Bonner and Stephen Curry.

Slam Dunk Contest participants:
James White, Gerald Green, Terrence Ross, Jeremy Evans, Eric Bledose and Kenneth Faried.

Skills Challenge participants:
Jrue Holiday, Brandon Knight, Jeff Teague, Damian Lillard, Jeremy Lin and Tony Parker.

Dafuq are Lin, Knight, and Teague doing in the skills challenge?

What they did was Shaq and Chuck each got 8 picks each and then with the 4 players left had a "blind draw" where EJ held their name tags upside down and Kenny picked one for each and Kemba wound up being second to last.

Kemba was second to last drawn, Shved was last. Yes, Chuck picked Brandon Knight, he is a turrable GM.

To be fair Irving is in the actual All-Star game so his minutes could be limited but then again he is young.

The Knight selection is mind-boggling, indeed. Other than that the league has done a great job at picking exciting players for these challenges.

updated for schedule in first post.

did anyone watch the rookie practice that was on NBATV?

Caught part of it, but it was mostly Team Chuck that I saw (not our guys). I did see Team Shaq play knockout, MKG finished second.

That's a bit surprising. Guess he did a really good job of cleaning up his shots.

I wish Kevin Hart would shut the f*ck up.

sprint should spend less money on advertising NBA games and more money on proving me more than 1 bar of phone, spotty 3g and no 4g in fort mill. i work about 1/2 from a new sprint store in fort mill. i was sitting in the parking lot at the store the other day and i think i had 2 bars and barely any 3g. sad.

who has played well in this celeb game so far?
