          ^And he's so fast, he'll have to wind up the dunk before he even jumps.

          Celeb game then rising stars game tonight!

            Am I the only one watching the HOF news conference?

            Pretty safe bet to say Gary Payton will get in.

              I expect Team Chuck to get mopped tonight. Is it me or does Charles always choose terrible teams.

                Wait what, Irving and George are in the 3 point contest? No Korver or Reddick? Not that it matters but I thought those were interesting picks.

                  The only reasons I can think of are that those guys turned down invitations or the NBA wanted some younger, new guys in the contest.

                  Edit: here's an article that a Google search brought up:

                  http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/...-ryan-anderson

                  Like most Orlando Magic players, J.J. Redick looked forward to the All-Star break. He planned to spend time with his wife at their new home in Austin, Texas, and make the trip to Houston for a players association meeting about the future of the union's executive director, Billy Hunter.

                  But Redick happily would've sacrificed part of his break to participate in the 3-Point Contest in Houston. Redick entered Wednesday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks ninth in the NBA in 3-pointers made (115) and 30th in accuracy (40.1 percent).



                  Redick has been vocal in his desire to compete in the event. But he doesn't understand the criteria the NBA uses to select participants.

                  "I guess it's just completely random," Redick said. "I know they want to have a mix of All-Stars and non-All-Stars. That's what I've heard. Maybe one day I'll be in it."

                  Redick is good friends with the Hawks' Kyle Korver, who began Wednesday fourth in makes (126) and first in accuracy (46.5 percent), and Redick's confusion about the selection criteria was heightened when Korver wasn't asked to participate this season.

                  "I have no idea [what the criteria are]," Korver said. "I'm not sure if there is any."

                  But don't weep for Korver. He's participated in the event before. He's also the father of a 2-month-old baby girl, and wouldn't have accepted an invitation if it had been offered.

                  This year's participants in the contest will be Ryan Anderson, Matt Bonner, Stephen Curry, Paul George, Kyrie Irving and Steve Novak.

                    Wow, nice find. Those guys deserve to be in it. George and Irving aren't known for 3 point shooting while Reddick and Korver specialize in it. Lol, very odd.
