It's the NBA Rookie Challenge tonight and the first year players included starters John Wall and Demarcus Cousins. Throw in Eric Bledsoe from the bench and it was Big Blue Reunion at the next level.
Sure, this game means nothing and for the one-and-dones like the Draft Cats, it was practically the McDonalds All-American game - no defense and all dunks, lobs, and threes. But heck, who really wants to watch an exhibition game for any other reason!
Well, I found a reason - to see your favorite ex-Cats play together again... AND dunk at the same time. In fact, this little video is a little flash back from the 2009-2010 season ask and brings a tear to my eye, enjoy:
And of course, with good manners, Cousins repaid the favor later in the game.
Then there is the highlight of the night... seriously? WOW
Wall finished with 12 points, 22 assist and 3 steals as well as the title of Player of the Game honors. Cousins was a close second with 31 points and 14 rebounds.
Just think, next year they should both be on the Sophomore team...
