Amare in the Rookie Challenge tonight

[slinslin]

Ok here is the thread for tonight!

I don't get the game on TV!!! I get the dunk contest, 3pt shootout, skill challenge, allstar game etc.

But I don't get the probably highlight of the allstar weekend!

So keep me updated. I want Amare to win MVP, hopefully they will get him the ball more unlike last year when Giricek, Butler and Gooden all tried to steal his spotlights in that game.

 

[slinslin]

Wasn't the rookie challenge on Saturday in the past anyway? Before the dunk contest etc?

 

[slinslin]

Is anyone watching the celebrity game? Seems like Richard Jefferson is embarassing himself.

Misses 3 dunks, drops a pass, misses a 3 and actually tries to play hard. Swat 6' out of bounds and dunk on them. lol

BRICK!!

Man is Amare nasty or what? Get out of the way.

Amare and Boozer on the same team....

We could have had it!

 

[slinslin]

Amare is going to break the scoring record unless they pull him now.

30/10/2 already. And he missed 2 dunks , a tip and 2 FTs.

Trying to bring down the rim.

 

[slinslin]

This is the highlight of our season!

 

[JS22]

How sad it is!

 

[JS22]

Amare was the MVP. 36 and 11.

Hopefully that will be his future average.

Good call, slinslin on Amare being MVP.

Man this Lebron and Melo ass kissing needs to stop.

Amare wins MVP but look at the headlines.

Pictures of Lebron and the headline reads:

Rookies not up to the challenge

And starts off talking about Lebron and Melo.

I guess his toe/ankle is healed.

Boy, that thing must have REALLY been bothering him.

I'm sure the C's were wondering the same thing.

Anyways... he looked pretty good out there.

Q: Did you have a favorite dunk?
"I like the one that Flip pulled in the first half. He did a real nice crossover. LeBron had a couple nice dunks too."

Q: Is it fun to play like this instead of a serious game?
"Once during the season is good."

Q: Did you know you were getting close to the point record?
"No, I had no idea what it was."

Q: So after winning Rookie of the Year and the rookie game MVP, what's next?
"Elevate my game and hopefully get to the All-Star game next year."

Amare looks like Stephon on that picture.

The link at AZCentral to the AP story is the same. The headline is "LeBron, Carmelo Light Up Rookie Challenge". Only two short sentences about Amare and Yao, with once of them almost dissing Amare. The rest of the 15 paragraphs is all about Carmello and Lebron.

Stoudemire, last season's Rookie of the Year, made an incredible number of uncontested dunks.

So did every other player!

It's hard to get it right when you write the entire article before the game starts.

Except that last year Amare was way better than everyone else excluding Yao.

And he didn't exactly overshadow the sophomores. Amare win MVP, sets record, leads his team to a blowout and all we hear is how Lebron and Melo shined in their selfish game, possibly the worst blowout in that game ever?
