Thats awesome. I like that game more then the all star games sometimes. Rondo will be nasty!!!. I can't wait to see some tricks, and maybe some big dunks out of him.

What no love for Big Baby on the freshman team? There are a lot of players on the team that deserve it more than him but I'm not sure if Jeff Green is one of them. Oh well, mad props for Rajon.

I love this game. The rooks vs the sophs is now my favorite game to watch all-star weekend. With one exception...
MJ's last all-star game when he would have been MVP,until Jermaine O'neal fouled Kobe in the corner from 3 at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime. This was a last second chucked shot that wasn't likely to go in. Garnett became the MVP of that game because the West destroyed the East in OT.
If anyone remembers that game Jordan recieved the ball at the end of the game for the winning shot and Matrix was guarding him and actually playing tight. Jordan took the ball, faked like he was going to drive inside and stepped back a few with a deep fade away swish over Matrix that just missed his fingers as he recovered and went up for the swat.
Jordan nails it...
I can remember yelling,"he hit it, he hit it, oh my god he hit it."
Still gives me chills thinking about it.
Unfortunately, J. O'neal made sure the game wasn't over.
Magic's performance was also amazing in his all-star game but I'm much more of a fan of the young all-star game. It means more to the young guys to be on this stage.
Can't wait for Rondo to tear it up.

I don't even watch the All Star game but I'm a fan of the Rookie-Soph game.

Who decides about the starters? Because I really want Rondo to start! Roy and Gay are locked up already.

Where did you get your info on Rondo. NBA.com does not have him listed on the Sophomore roster.
