Hahaha yeah Marsh was trying to do a Julian Wright impersonation on that dunk I think

Kyrie and Wall were awesome, George played very well too and I didn't know Turner was such a good passer with good court vision.

What happen? I didn't watch it

How did big Cuz finish up?

 

[jay87]

Yeah Turner nearly had a triple double!

 

[bojob]

Kyrie was amazing New PC player I think
The rest were awesome aswell actually the first Rising star game iv'e been able to see!
I liked the fact they didn't try to defend to hard the whole game like didn't lay down for the other team just made sure it looked good haha except when they double teamed Griffo lol he didn't like that too much haha.
But had fun watching it hope I can watch todays action!

We really have something speical in Irving...and Tristisan Thompson got 20 points as well

Kyrie Irving was labeled a “can’t miss” rookie when he was taken atop last June’s NBA Draft. And on Friday night – matched up against fellow freshman and some sophomores – he really couldn’t miss.
OK, he missed one shot – as did his Cavalier teammate, Tristan Thompson. But when it was all said and done, Cleveland’s precocious point guard still went 12-for-13 from the floor, including a jaw-dropping 8-of-8 from 3-point range, netting a game-high 34 points and running away with MVP honors in the inaugural BBVA Rising Stars Challenge at Amway Arena in Orlando.
Thompson, the No. 4 pick in 2011, came off the bench for Team Shaq and was just as effective – albeit from closer range – going 10-for-11 from the floor to lead his squad with 20 points, dunking home everything he got his hands on.

Amazing, can't wait to see what Wall is capable of in a couple of years, hopefully with a better team around him!

 

[loafic]

How good is this kid?? I love watching him play... unselfish and spectacular - the pump fake is so fundamental but he does it so well, evan turner had no idea what was going on LOL

 

[lukesicari]

Irving didn't even try in the skills challenge

 

[Farmer2Goggin2Wade]

Loved the Petrovic jersey!

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Irving didn't even try in the skills challenge

I don't know what his strategy was or if he even had one. Totally blew off the kid sitting next to him too, Rondo, Westbrook and Deron all giving a fist bump or a few words at least. Douche?

 

[aussiemjfreak]

Irving came across as an arrogant self absorbed person during that skills challenge! All the other competitors enjoyed it, included the kids in it and congratulated each other, Irving did nothing!

 

[Farmer2Goggin2Wade]

PAUL GEORGE!

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

This no name dunk comp could end up being the best in a long time haha

 

[aussiemjfreak]

I thought the first round was boring as hell!! George's was the best dunk but even then **yawnnnnn**

 

[Farmer2Goggin2Wade]

That was hot.

Crappy dunk by Jeremy Evans?
