KO said he won't play.

 

[tykurez]

Anyone heard of any updates on players? Pumped for this ... will be my first one.

 

[Marat]

I would assume JC will be coaching one team while KO the other. I read that Allen, Bazz, Walker should be there. Bazz is not sure if he will actually play though (http://articles.courant.com/2014-07...40728_1_shabazz-napier-new-schemes-basketball)

This will be my first one too. Does anyone know if we can bring bballs, jerseys, pics for the players to sign? Is there time before or after the game for photos/ autographs? I'm pumped for this event!

thanks

 

[ColoradoUCFan]

Can I watch it on the world wide web?

Yea, in years past after the game they'll sign around the court. Kind of crowded, but all the players will usually sign for everyone.

Thanks! That's good to know. I'm bringing my #34 Ray Allen Starter Jersey from 1996 *when I was 11 years old. Probably a basketball too. I already have the entire 2004 national championship team signed UCONN bball in my house

I'd love to get everyone, but obviously aiming for Shabazz, Kemba, Rudy, Ray Allen, Rip, Jeremy lamb.

I'm assuming Drummond wont be there because he'll be practicing with the USA bball team-valid excuse

Only if you still dial up with AOL. I might be able to hook you up with a CD.

Definitely tell him it's your 1996 Jersey from when you were 11. Ray will like that.

We always seem to have a hard time filling up these rosters. We probably need to do more with alumni outreach so the same guys don't have to play defense and cover kickoffs.

Surprised that Drummond will be there considering he's on the USA team. Hopefully he plays. Looking forward to being there again.

Ed Nelson?!

 

[intlzncster]

Ed Nelson?!

It's not really a game if Action Eddie Nelson isn't patrolling the paint.

crowded is an understatement.

 

[Marat]

crowded is an understatement.

I think it gets more crowded towards the corners of the court, and less so on the sides.

Good one @Gurleyman

Its gotten to the point that I think some of the older/out of shape guys shouldn't be there on the court. I get its an alumni game and some of the older guys were stars (C Smith, etc), but time has moved on and its hard to find minutes for everyone especially given the names on these rosters. Given the team rosters, I'ld love to see more of Bazz vs Kemba, Rip vs Ray, Gay vs Lamb, AJ vs Marcus, Drummond vs Villanueva, Adrien vs Freeman, etc....

My starters:
Blue:
Napier, Rip, Gay, Villanueva, Adrien

White:
Kemba, Ray, Lamb, Drummond, Freeman(?)

We did get Emeka's autograph, so it made it worth it, but it was an ungodly clusterf uck getting to him.

 

[Waquoit]

I couldn't agree less. It's a celebration. For starters, I want KEA out there for as long as he wants to be there.

 

[Waquoit]

Looks like it's Howie D. coaching one team and Tom Moore the other
