I sorta glance at the Celeb game each year but don't fully watch it. But the Rising Stars game is always fun.

[fourkicks44]

I'm interested to see DMiles play.

[Turbo Slayer]

Team usa will win.

[insidehoops]

There are literally more people here on ISH right now than in the stands at the celeb game.

There are literally more people here on ISH right now than in the stands at the celeb game. Really. That can't be true.

Show us the numbers. :biggums:

[insidehoops]

(It's not really saying much, looks like only a few hundred people in the stands at this game.)

[Turbo Slayer]

Oh. Cool fact tho. Thats awesome! :applause:

[brownmamba00]

Why is the famous los guy here every year. Like who is this dude

[insidehoops]

Don't know what that was, a "tissue-pulling" challenge to start the game.

[insidehoops]

Wonder how many young fans know who Darius Miles was

Never heard of him, except in these celeb games

[Wally450]

[fourkicks44]

DMiles still got mad skills but you can tell his knees are completely ass from the way he runs.

Reminds me of myself :oldlol:

Darius should put on knee braces, and then keep putting more of them on during each timeout

[insidehoops]

Somebody sign Kevin Hart.

[insidehoops]

Anyway, the Rising Stars game is the real event of the evening. On TNT, 9pm ET.

It used to be rookies vs sophs, but a few years ago it became first/second year USA-born players vs first/second year internationally-born players.

Take 90 seconds and skim-read the first few paragraphs of http://www.insidehoops.com/rising-stars-game.shtml

[insidehoops]

Awaiting a Zion Williamson dunk from halfcourt

[Boki4MVP]

[insidehoops]

World team 44, USA team 41, mid 2nd quarter

[insidehoops]

When in doubt, lob it from anywhere to Zion

[fourkicks44]

This game needs Matisse Thybulle and Jaxson Hayes.

Some defense and attitude.

[zeerghit]

hachimura wants to win at least one playing bbal

[zeerghit]

[insidehoops]

This game got fun in a hurry. Trae and Ja's moves. Zion catching lobs. Doncic tossing in shots from the parking lot. On and on.

[fourkicks44]

Wtf happen to Channing Fry? He hasn't even been retired for a year and he has got fat af.

Looks like he ate a Zion.

[insidehoops]

Knicks rookie RJ Barrett (World team, he's from Canada) with 15 first half points

Half: World 81, USA 71

[lilteapot]

mo wagner bumass made it over mitch.

[KOBEtherealKing]

Zion lol

[bigkingsfan]

Poor Zion

[BasedTom]

They straight up stopped playing and had a Dunk Contest to end the game.

And like most of the dunk contests in this generation's lifetime, they missed every single dunk. Pretty cool moves tho

[insidehoops]

That game got more and more fun as it went on. Enjoyed the second half a lot.

[insidehoops]

Celeb game needs big changes, I think.

Rising Stars game's second half was lots of fun
