2010 NBA All-Star Weekend I Rookies Challenge recap

[ob1ginobili91]

Blair got robbed!! 22 points AND 23 rebounds??!! Give credit to Evans but those numbers are beast

[cholochecke]

1:37 kevin didnt step out to pass the ball inbound

[01dieener]

anyone notice that kevin love never took the ball out of bounds after that man free throw just be fore he does that long outlet pass..

[tharlew2]

Love had his foot on the line WTF REFS

[liamlivingston1]

rw face looks like dinosaur

[djmbenga4tw]

westbrook was probably jealous of harden there.

[panicsugarcane]

was kevin love even out of bounds yet on the pass to westbrook?? hahaha

[BaileyNBennett]

@panicsugarcane one foot was out the other was barely in the air

[jeanpalmerd]

PPTheZodiac, wow this is crazy. this is coming from someone who s the shortest on his team but can dunk with EASE. I checked out the training program at 50-inch-vertical(dot)com and increased past 12 inches on my leap.

[MRNBA909]

man freakin blair has done that off glass dunk 2 years in a row thats awesome ps. im not a spurs fan

[eriky326]

So does Blake Griffin join the Rookies or Sohpmores? Either way should be interesting

[YesIRap]

Evans and Blair shared MVP didn't they?

[FreshWitDiceInMirror]

1:37 dude doesnt even step out of bounds to inbound

[elvisniperx]

1:38 look at KEVIN LOVE'S foot. it's not inbound. hahaha

[cujo3155]

did anybody notice the ridiculous foot/out-of-bounds violation on Love's "UCLA connection"...??????? lolllllll

[TorrRonkowski353384]

PPTheZodiac but come on if even I, TorrRonkowski353384 can easily dunk, which means even you can, I'm merely 5 ft 9 inches tall man. Basically follow a workout course such as the this one "50-inch-vertical(dot)com", it will maximize your jump and your quickness.

[akaivan]

Funny how everyone thinks mvp is selected by overall points and assists lol, Have any of you watched the full game? Tyreke clearly deserved it, Delivered a brilliant game.

[thesniper321]

@akaivan

stfu, I watch nba bb since 1993 this was clearly a steal blair deserved it more, 21 and 23 and the dude who get the award geo 23 and -??? Seriously???

[akaivan]

@thesniper321 qq more? cause he didnt get it?lol pathetic

[superkrex]

how you gonna tell me Tyreke deserved the MVP?? Blair had 22 points, 23 rebounds and 4 assists...so he got 4 less points, outrebounded Tyreke by 17 and had 1 less assist

[craigis123]

WTF BLAIR GOT MORE REB'S THAN POINTS

[Unclegloops]

Ima bit dissapointed that there wasn't much Jerebko in there... But Dejuan Blair is a friggen animal!

[crownking911]

Tyreke earned the MVP. 26 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists AND 5 steals. GREAT overall game.

[MrIamabitch]

@crownking911 it was stolen!!!!

Blair 23 rebounds 22 points.

[Lampheader]

wow is it just me or did kevin love commit a huge line violation on the inbound

[spiderheo]

wow this rookie vs sophmore is good, how come in my 2k10 game i didn't have curry, blair, tyreke , or even caspii?

[MoTown928]

@spiderheo you need to connect to xbox live or ps online and update the roster brah

[naaaateeee4444]

does anyone realize kevin love's violation when he makes the "ucla connection"????

[JHAYTOT1]

damn dejuan blair just ALMOST KILLED THE RIM!

[Wumoy89]

PPTheZodiac, exact reason why I play basketball, along with all the crossovers. If you can't dunk yet, you need to start practicing. I definitely recommend you to try the one I'm using - 50inch vertical[dot]com - I m 5 7 and I can dunk!

[chabowker]

Jonas Jerebko should've been MVP of the game & the league!

[TheMalccity23]

@chabowker u crazy bitch tf wromg wit u

[deseanjack34]

why the h*** wouldn't you give the mvp to dejuan blair he made the toughest post move shot i have ever seen in my entire life, he caught the ball, spin move then got raped and then tackled by brook lopez and still made the and one. oh yeah and a record in rebounds too. nah let's give it to tyreke evans. did you know he scored 26 points that's 4 more than dejuan blair!!!

[razorjustine]

haha 1:38 a violation...

[Gabester64]

(\__/) This is Bunny.

(='.'=)

(")_(")

[smeagolfart]

thats bullshit dblair should of got mvp

[onyot18]

[nelics]

1:39

Look its Lamar Odom!

[mrdanik34]

TYREKE ROY

[padboi24]

D.Blair got robbed! he had a solid ALL AROUND game, Not just points! 21 points, Set a record wit 23 boards, got injured & returned 2 the game! OH and the play of the game OFF DA GLASS 2 hiself! WHAT?!?!

[spursbucswhitesoxfan]

@padboi24 well said. The off da glass to himself was sick. They should of stopped the game and announced him MVP the second it happened.

[stokes288]

i love westbrook's game

[inztinct3]

all i can say about this game...WOW!

[ncshadyy12456789]

yo hansbrough was a legend he wud ownn all thse fuckers any time He is the greatest clllege player ever n mybe if he played more hed b good..besides he wasent tht great in his first year in college so watch out.

[wsupbrandon]

lol faggot stop suckin hansbroughs dick. he sucks. period.

[MrIamabitch]

@ncshadyy12456789 a legend?

he is just another adam morrison.

infact those NCAA fans who sucked adam morrison,Hansbrough,Redick and many other dick there whole life all of them put together got nothing on D-Rose and fast dont lie.

[TheThorte30]

@gregr59: Who cares about the calls of the refs at this day? Nobody expects a real competitve game at allstar weekend...it´s just for fun, so why should the refs call it like that? So you don´t need to complain about it. If you want real games, then watch the playoffs.

@ncshadyy12456789: Hansbrough didn´t play a lot of the seasons games and he wasn´t that good, so he simply doesn´t deserve to be there.

[gregr59]

@TheThorte30

--I think we're in agreement! I don't think the refs should call it like a normal game at all. My point was MVP arguments are ridiculous b/c the game is only for entertainment (of the child/teenager variety) -- it's an alley oop fest like Harlem Globetrotters/And1 where no defense is played. And to emphasize that point, I mentioned the refs actions!

[monseratto]

Well we all know who the REAL Rookie-Sophomore Game MVP is and that is Dejuan Blair. Even the fans at Dallas know it! Look at how they booed Tyreke Evans when he was awarded with the MVP. LoL. Good thing he has the minds to share it with Heavy D :)

[ncshadyy12456789]

hansbrough wasent in dis

[gregr59]

lol, who cares about MVP in this game or the real all star game. The whole weekend is strictly for entertainment; refs don't even try to call it like a real game. Need proof? look at the feet of kevin love on his full court "outlet pass" (after a made free throw) at 1:38-1:40

[amboyindustries]

Accept the TRUTH

[vigorouswarrior]

@BrownSugar253 I thought old people would have facts to present not stupid childish opinions. It's ok that you don't like the Spurs but not to like a rookie player just because he plays for the Spurs is stupidly stubborn. It's like saying Duncan, Kobe, LeBron and Dwight are talentless at basketball. Don't criticize unless if it's constructive, I hope you grow mentally as well as spiritually.

[vigorouswarrior]

@BrownSugar253 you need to wipe that brown sugar off all four of your lips from sucking and fucking Dwight and Shaqz cock. I forgot that rookies have all the skills and knowledge that NBA veterans acquire over the years that they play professionally, how childish of me. Oh, yeah I also forgot old wise one but you should know this, when was the last time Shaq and Dwight scored 6 rebounds in about 90 seconds? You should check your NBA history before you start to criticize you ignorant old man.

[ltreyn83]

lol that outlet pass by kevin love should not have counted look how much he's still in the court when he throws it. i know it's just a rookie game but holy crap i dont think he got a single foot out of bounds when he threw that shit.

[BrownSugar253]

Blair will not score 22 points or get 22rebound like that against season veterans like Shaq, or Howard. Get over it, loser.

[onblock7]

He had a 27 and 20 board game this year in real plays! YES HE DID!!!!!

[iveywebb44]

hes already had more points and boards than that in regular season games

[catndryer]

DeJuan got screwed out of MVP......come on 23&22 ???? Are you freakin kidding me? Hell Westbrook scored 40 and wasn't even in the conversation..............thes­e guys need to have the vote right at the end of the game....they jumped the gun on this one

[bzdeleon]

another example of how the Spurs have the best scouts in the league

Blair - 37th

manu - 57th

parker - 28th

george hill - 26th

[MrDecember91]

@bzdeleon Not to mention Luis Scola and Barbosa

[TropicalIcedZ]

@bzdeleon they also drafted John Salmons, Goran Dragic to name a few.

[arvincas]

and even if he did pad his stats in the last two minutes, he already had 18 something points and 17 something rebounds at that point.. that's no easy matter considering that blair had these 7ft centers to contend with..

blair was clearly robbed..he should have at least had co-mvp honors..

the guy just can't get a break..

[dray2277]

Thats how blair likes it. He has always risen in the face of adversity. People said he could do what he did in college and he did it. People said he wouldnt be able to do what he does at the pro level and hes doin it. Tell him he cant and he will show you how he can.

[inztinct3]

@dray2277

Yeah thats true! no one believed in him especially with his previous knee problems. I'm not sure if everybody knows that he doesn't have patella in both of his knees.

Spurs scouting team has done a very good job on getting players for the past decade. (not to mention Manu as very good steal)

[jred51]

thats me in the far end about 5 rows up in the red next to the 1 in the black (the one in the black is the principle of my school lv stockard) on 1:59

[Dunkjrich23]

blair got robbed

[BrownSugar253]

Besides, look at this year's stats, Evans lead all rookies in scoring, assist and rebounds. Get over it, Blair is overrated and the Spurs will go back to lottery once Duncan and Ginobli get's old in 2 years. Go Kings and the kings will be back in the playoffs next year, not this year though.

[Allistar123]

@BrownSugar253 lulz you should not make fun of a team going to the lottery if you are still in it. Blair is a 2nd round pick therefor the title of overrated is one that should never be place on him.

[MarkAmps]

"Evans lead all rookies in scoring, assist and rebounds"

LOL! Evans is the leading scorer among rookies. that's true. But he is not the leading assist man and rebounder. Jennings is the no.1 in assists among rookies and Blair is the no.1 in rebounding.

the term OVERRATED will never be applicable to Blair. He is a 2nd round draft pick. And you don't expect that much from a 2nd rounder. He may actually be an UNDERRATED player. Many GMs didn't expect that he can play that way in the pros....

[gggg54]

Kings in the playoffs next year? hahahahahahahahaha

[BrownSugar253]

Yo San Antonia Spurs fans, stop crying under your mama's panty, Tyreke Evans is clearly the MVP since he's the high scorer, if you dont know the NBA rules, go back to school and get an education. Blair should be grateful that Evans shared it with him, so you should respect Evans for doing it. That's classy right there, if it was LBJ or Iverson, there' no way, they'll share it with Blair.

[ColdJ3]

Oh and not to mention how Blair padded his stats at the end when the game was already decided. It was also surprising to me how everyone was trying to get shots up near the end yet Evans actually was unselfish enough to just dish it to Blair so he can try for the 20/20 game.

A case can definitely be made for co-MVPs but Evans rightfully deserved that tropy

[RAMMSTEINERD]

@ColdJ3 Well part of it could be that I'm also a San Antonio Spurs fan, but I did watch the game. Evans did have a heck of a game as well, class move by Evans sharing the trophy with Blair.

[KoRnSwitCh1]

this is bullshit dejuan should have been the mvp but the nba is trying to create a star and some fan base in sacramento

[BrownSugar253]

your mama is bullshit.

Tyreke Evans is clearly the MVP since he's the high scorer, if you dont know the NBA rules, go back to school and get an education. Blair should be grateful that Evans shared it with him, so you should respect Evans for doing it.

[Allistar123]

@BrownSugar253 blair had 23 rebound and 4 assists to go along with his 22 points a clearly more productive game than evans. that is why evans got booed because everybody knew he did not deserve and he Evans did not do it out of respect he did it because he was afraid he was going to get his arms ripped off by blair.

[akui88]

@BrownSugar253

Tyreke Evens was not the high scorer in that game, by ur logic, then Russell Westbrook who scored 40 should have been MVP of that game...

This was not for rookie of the year, it was the MVP of that game.......

ALSO, NO SUCH RULE AS HIGH SCORER GETS mvp...

[BrownSugar253]

@ akui88

you must be a 9 yr old.

Westbrook's 40 doesnt make him an MVP since his sophomore team losses to the rookies, which is very embarrasing. Tyreke Evans lead all rookies in scoring and since the rooks won, makes him an MVP. You retards Spurs fans should quit crying like a lil toddler, Evans is the MVP which is a right call since he has better stats than Jennings and Blair.

[akui88]

@Brownsugar253

i did not say shit about blair, and ur the ass saying high scorer gets the mvp....

[jayhawkfn2323]

evans barely had better stats than jennings and i wouldnt even say they were better blair had 23 rebounds come on i hate the spurs but respect that and he should of got mvp and evans is good no doubt but 26 points aint that much he had 3 less assist then jennings which means jennings had more points off him but westbrook blows dick but blair still mvp or 3 way tie between jennings blair and evan

[86london]

@jayhawkfn2323 At least Evans recognized that and shared the award with him.. Unlike Wall who didn't share the award with Cousins

[monseratto]

@86london Yeah, props to Evans. :)

[prmaster]

The fans voted thought the game thats why

evans won it :(

[RAMMSTEINERD]

Blair should've got the MVP!!

[ColdJ3]

Wow, it looks like no even watched the game and just looked at the box scores seeing Blairs 20/20 game game acting like he was robbed of the MVP.

But the fact is that Evans was the biggest reason they got that big lead in the first place setting the pace early and really never backing off. Plus he finished with 26/6/5 on 11/15 shooting along with 5 steals.

Tell me that isnt an MVP statline plus having a bigger impact on the game than Blair.

[willieg54]

Tell me putting up 20 + points and 20 + rebounds isnt not the biggest impact of the game. smh are you eleven?

[ColdJ3]

Just stats alone doesnt mean you have the greatest impact. He didnt even get the 20/20 game until the last minute when it was already decided. Plus a lot of those rebounds he got were off his own misses.

Tyreke on the other went 26/6/5 on 11 of 15 shooting along wth 5 steals and was consistently the guy setting the pace. So all this talk about Blair getting robbed is straight up laughable

It just takes away from the type of game Evans had. Besides, he pulled the classy move at the end

[akui88]

@coldj3

u say, "don't look at stats", but then post stats on Tyreke...

if u watched the game, who worked harder, blair underneath, fighting for rebounds and scoring on misses, or tyreke, who is a ball handler?

blair is a center/forward, he barely got touches, while tyreke handles the ball, blair can only wait and hope for someone to pass it to him or he needs to get a rebound....

yea blair got 20+ points and 20+ rebounds, but its not like he had that many opportunities to begin with.

[StoneThrowingDevil]

and he left the game for a while with a scratched face...

[upyours537]

@RAMMSTEINERD yea tyreke shared it with him at least, i do think blair shouldve got it too tho

[matt41234]

he is behind the line...u could see he picks his foot up from inbounds while one foot is out of bounds

[blissodot]

1:38...Isnt he supposed to pass the ball while BEHIND the line?!?!?!mmmmmmmmmmmm

[arvincas]

de'one' just can't get a break.. snubbed by the other teams during the draft.. snubbed again in the rookie sophomore challenge.. 22pts and 23 rebs do not happen too often..

[moneymillionarebaby]

@arvincas da only other person dat does dat is dwight but de'juan is a rookie so yea as u sed dat dnt happen 2 often

[RaniumintheCranium]

@arvincas you are correct that but i think it should of been coMVP with the two of them because tyreke got a 5 by 5 which also rarely happens

[upyours537]

@arvincas at least when your snubbed in a draft you can show all the other teams what theyre missing!

[atlnigga03]

evans shouldnt have even been mvp.

[NitroDeviance]

Thanks ;)
