T-Mobile Rookie Challenge Open Thread

by erivera7 on Feb 12, 2010 8:00 PM EST in Diversions

This year, the Orlando Magic will be represented in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge. Er, sort of.

Ryan Anderson, the Magic's second-year player, was eligible to join the Sophomore roster but didn't make the cut. However, Orlando assistant coach Patrick Ewing will coach the Sophomores and Dwight Howard will commentate a portion of the game in the first half and the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk-In (between DeMar DeRozan and Eric Gordon) at halftime.

So, that's something to look forward to.

Given the week I've had, there's no way I'm watching this game, though I probably should because I keep meaning to see DeJuan Blair.

Rookies have a pretty good chance to win the game, because the best sophomore is playing in the real game on sunday.

Yeah that's what I think.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

Saying Sager wears an ugly suit is like saying a leopard has spots.

But seriously isn’t he embarrassed? Plus that piece he wears on his head looks ridiculous!

anyone remember his suit from thanksgiving?

it was during the hawks-magic game. At first i thought it was supposed to look like a peacock, but it ended up being a camo suit.
