Thanks for posting this Roy. Easily the best of the All-Star games to watch imo. The game 2 years ago with John Wall running the point was great. The game is always competitive and like you say they play it like a real game with great competing and strategy on both ends. Not a dunk-fest and showboat-fest in this game.

I look forward to seeing Austin and Quinn in this one.

Anybody got a link to a live stream? I am stuck at work upgrading a server. Looks like I will be here until 1 baby-sitting this thing.

Thanks a ton! One more database to go and they are averaging 2.5 hours to upgrade a piece.

I can't believe the sideline reported just asked Austin if he is excited to play with Kyrie next year. Way to keep on top of the latest news Rebecca.

Yeah, that was a bone-headed question for sure. Before Austin answered, I thought, "Oh, this game must have already happened and this is a replay, surely this reporter can't be that ill-informed". But, of course, this is Fox Sports so...

He politely informed her that he won't be playing with him because he declared for the draft.

Both our guys look good. Rivers has sick range and nice finishing moves. Excited to see both of those players in a Duke uniform! Is it November yet?

Austin and Quinn looked good, but WOW @ Bismack Biyombo from Congo.

He's 6'8, 240, 4.8% body fat, explosive quick jumper and a 7'7 wingspan (not a typo). He had 9 blocks tonight plus several more he wasn't credited for, and absolutely dominated guys like Davis, Gilchrist and McAdoo in the paint.

He'll probably be a lotto pick this year... really exciting athlete.

Rivers 20 points and Player of the Game; Quinn 12 points, a couple of slick assists and a great smile. Great to have these guys.

seems like she got pulled by the director....she was saying that "they've lost two seniors and ...uh...throw it back to you"...

to which austin just smiled and said "thank you"....

[Eternal Outlaw]

Just got back, fun event to go to. Wife got autographs from both Quinn and Austin and said they both were really nice young men. At the end Austin threw into the crowd his jersey and shoes after signing autographs for a long time. Threw an offer at the kid who got the jersey and may be negotiating with his dad on it if he calls. Would be a sweet souvenir.

Anybody know if this will be replayed today or some other time. I was out and forgot to set the dvr.

Hoops Summit Boxscore

Both Austin and Quinn shot well, with good 3-point results from a FIBA line that is 22 ft 1 inch+, or more than a foot further than the NCAA line of 20-ft 9-in

Caught the 2nd half. Was pleased to see Rivers and Cook play very well. Both have R-A-N-G-E! Pay no attention to UNC fans, Rivers is quick and does play D.

UK has a nice class and if either Knight or Jones stays, I can't see how they won't be preseason #1. Sorry to burst heel expectations on that.

No matter what happens, we'll be very, very solid next year. I know we've got leadership and frontcourt questions, but the potential and talent will be there and nobody does a better job of putting it all together than Coach K.
