AllStar Weekend officially started last night with the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge. A game between the NBA's top rookies and sophomores split into two teams, Team Shaq and Team Chuck. As soon as I saw the rosters for each team I went for Team Shaq, who had 2 of the top young point guards Damian Lillard and Kyrie Irving. Well I think we were all pretty surprised to see Team Chuck dominate the entire game, by halftime they were leading with 24. Just about all the players for Team Chuck were in double figures. Great passes by Ricky Rubio and some nice dunks by rookie Alexey Shved. Kenneth Faried put on a great display of his talent finishing with 40 points and 10 rebounds, which earned him MVP. Though Team Shaq lost Kyrie Irving put on a show. Finishing with 32 points and some unbelievable ankle breaking crossovers as he went one on one with Brandon Knight. Though it was a blowout 163-135, it was a great game.
