Team Shaq Ftw

 

[Ridders]

I think Team Barkley will take it. Wall's going to have a real chip on his shoulder for being picked so late (I think it was 12th).

I see Griffin and Monroe running riot

 

[Big Mick]

Chuck's team is so much better of a TEAM.

Shaq's is just disjointed.

 

[Big Mick]

Man that was a sick move by Paul George. Dude is just so good.

This dunk contest is going to be awesome.

I love the Jeremy Evans selection as replacement. I reckon he'll win. The dude can throw down.

 

[Big Mick]

Those Kobe ad's are crap.

 

[Ridders]

Can't wait for Rubio to eventually make the ASG. He's perfect for this type of setting.

I'm hoping so. No names (relative) approach might be better. Anything will be better than Griffin last year.

 

[Ridders]

Evan Turner's been good so far. Really good passing atm.

 

[Big Mick]

WOw...three plays.

Rubio between the legs of Cousins to ally-oop to Griffen.

Kyrie Irving being Kryie Irving...please play for Australia...please.

And John Wall with Irving laying it against the board and Wall following through slamming it down. Shame it didn't count.

 

[Ridders]

Team Barkley wins 146-133.

And lol at Monroe for stealing the ball from Wall at the end.

 

[Ridders]

Also some sweet dunks by Wall at the end.

Even better when you consider that his foot was on the line.

 

[Ridders]

James Jones is pumped man. He ain't giving up the crown that easy!

Liked the Petrovic jersey, too bad Morrow came last.

 

[Ridders]

Damn I spoke too soon. Jones choked on his last rack. Now it's between Love and Durant.
