Last night, Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley chose their rosters for the Rising Stars game, which is part of NBA All-Star weekend. A week prior, I took a shot at drafting for them to see how it would compare. Was there any doubt that the Association had to add Jeremy L-in every event possible? Miami rookie point guard Norris Cole was the lucky beneficiary also added to balance the rosters at ten each.

Shaq and I both took Blake Griffin with the first pick, a no brainer for sure. I had John Wall in the first round with Kyrie Irving in the second, Barkley took Irving in the first, with us both taking DeMarcus Cousins in the second round. I agreed with Shaq in taking Charlotte point guard Kemba Walker in the sixth round, Barkley and I both liked New York guard Landry Fields in the seventh round. Looking at the two teams, you have to love Shaq's squad. Imagine Lin and Ricky Rubio in the backcourt together out on the break with Griffin trailing.... scary.

The Rising Stars game tips off a week from tonight, February 24th in Orlando.
