Rookie`s win.

Blake Griffin... rookies win... Blake Griffin.

John wall wins mvp because he refuses to pass to blake.

Get off his nuts.

Rookie class...

I'm guessing there will be 198 alley-oops and 357 dunks.

Sophomore class will win. Rookie class is too raw.

Um… look at their front court :/ . They have no one to stop Blake …. Wall is pretty good too .

I really don't care.

It's just the R/S game... same goes for the All-Star game.

I just watch it to watch it.

I picked rookies because I like more of their players. However... The Sophs are lacking in size.

The Sophs do have some shooters though...

Still, I could really give a shit. Just watching for dunks and passes.

Look at their front-court, no defense whatsoever.

I won't be rooting for anybody too particular, but I'm glad Gary Neel and DeJuan Blair will be playing. I like the Sophomore team a lot though and think they have a pretty good line-up, but I don't think they can compete against John Wall and Blake Griffin as a duo. Whatever, it'll be a fun game to watch, and it's always pretty high scoring and intense. Cool line-ups and sounds like a good deal!

wow, its basically curry and evans against griffin, cousins and wall.

i pick sophs. curry gets mvp

sophomores will pull it out but there should be a lot of highlights

Rookies win it

Wall,Griffin Co MVPs

No love for Gary Neal? lol

A Bull Taj Gibson is on the Sophomore squad but I think I may be pulling for the Rookies because Derrick Favors my Georgia Tech boy reppin my hometown Nets.

Go Taj and Go Derrick(Favors thats it)

It's the Rookie Challenge so won't go too crazy over the result just want entertainment

Nobody has any love for Landry Fields. That's some epic BS hahaha. I know Blake Griffin is an effin beast and all. But Landry Fields has been arguably the best rookie in the NBA after him this season. And as Sophomores in the rook-soph game D-Will and CP3 were both monsters, but who won game MVP in that game? That's right David Lee. I'm just saying go Landry!!

thats not arguable at all....its john wall for sure

I John Wall.

I like him too; he's been amazing for us this season.
But I am a bigger Blair fan haha.
I would not be mad though if Neal wins MVP hehe (unlikely but one can hope!).

Maybe he can pull a Gibson and just make like 90 threes and get a surprise mvp

Haha!

That'd be siiick.
In that case, I'd be okay with Blair not winning MVP if he was able to make it rain with threes that night.

I think the rooks are bigger, they have some big men there - they are going to kill Ibaka on the boards. Either that or the rooks are going to get outran - but I doubt that with John Wall at the point.
