Rising Stars Challenge - 7 PM MST - TNT

[orangello]

Anybody else rooting for the international team?

Screw the Americans!

 

[orangello]

Anyone else think Team World is way more talented?

I don't think it's even close really.

The last 3 on the list for the intl side are not playing. Nurkic had a planned trip back to Bosnia and is choosing to go instead of playing.

The U.S. definitely has less talent in this game.

It's too bad Jabari, Randle and those guys are injured.

It wouldn't have mattered. Team World has Gobert (and Wiggins and the Greek Freak and Exum and Schroeder!).

I think he's got a real shot at winning MVP.

Wiggins is his biggest competition.

I think your reading comprehension is my biggest competition.

Locke has mentioned a couple times that he thinks US players that only grew up playing basketball may have a tendency to have leg and ankle injuries more often. He might be onto something. I have no data to support this, but European players seem to spend less time on the DL or having knee surgery.

I am dying to see Gobert just obliterate some Team USA guard (possibly Burke haha!) that goes in for some pathetic layup thinking this game is a breeze. I mean just smack it into the Team USA bench and stare them all down. Piss them all off and make this game a slobber knocker.

Gobert if you are reading this, PLEASE don't take this game off. Be nasty and mean! 15 pts, 15 rebs, 8 blks, 3 ast and 2 steals! Come on Gobert you can do it!
