NBA All-Star Weekend 2010
Our coverage of the NBA All-Star Weekend begins with the T-Mobile Rookie/Sophomore Challenge. While their are no first-year Dallas Mavericks in the game, ties are still there. Assistant coaches and staff from the Mavericks' ranks have joined in to assist with both teams.
The rookies feature the talented Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings. But the second-year stars come in riding a seven-game winning streak in the event. Rookie James Harden of the Oklahoma City Thunder says that streak will not run to eight tonight.
"We just have to push the ball, go out there and have some fun," Harden said. "I think we'll actually play good defense, too.
"Push the ball and create for each other, we don't have any selfish players on this team. And just have fun out there...Compete. All of these guys are competitive."
The T-Mobile Rookie Challenge and Youth Jam will take place Friday night at the American Airlines Center at 8 p.m. CT, and will air nationally on TNT.
