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."

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."

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.

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.

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.
