Dennis Schroeder for the Knicks first round pick.

I'm more interested in this than the real all-star game

[atljonesbro]

I've always liked these games more than the Allstar game. They're all young and athletic so they can run none stop all game and it's so fast paced.

[Milbuck]

This Rising Stars game has a ton of talent. I don't know what OP's talking about at all.

A lineup of Schroder-Wiggins-Giannis-Mirotic-Gobert for the World team is just nasty.

Yup, this will be more competitive because of the young guys really trying to show the world what they can do. The all-star game is a bunch of guys who really don't even want to play because they'd rather have the time off but they're playing because the fans/coaches voted them in. The first timers will play hard but the rest won't care until the 4th quarter...Thats boring....

He's just mad because the Knicks are a shitty ass dumpster devoid of any young talent.

I'm just 'keeping it real'.

Only 2 hours until game time. Love watching mediocre players play. Let's do this.

Could the Knicks beat either squad?
