I can't watch a NBA game to save my life and I love MLB.

nobody huh? Lakers are selling out every game, and I think quite a few other teams are too. Everyone is hurting from the recession but Basketball will be just fine.

Not really feeling the picks. Has to be nothing more than a ploy to slap some faces up there for struggling franchises.

Well, Atlanta isn't really struggling, but they aren't really a big market player.

I'll reserve judgment until after to see if it sucks, but hopefully it will be fun to watch

this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen on television. THey're taking 15 foot set shots and missing them. THey're airballing anything that's not a standard shot...

Apparently NBA players aren't good at horse. Myself and a couple of friends could give these guys a run for their money.

To make this event fun they need a lineup of guys who are good at doing crazy shit in game. My lineup is:

Gilbert Arenas
Manu Ginobili
Dwyane Wade

Edit: Mayo isn't bad...he's got some cool things he's trying and actually making them.

the only one that really seems into it is Joe Johnson. Kevin Durant and OJ Mayo look like they just woke up

Wade, Kobe, Lebron would be epic. Another problem with these three is none of them have any personality, or they are just not happy to be out there. Plus Ernie is ruining it by being on the court

Durant should just go ahead and get that last letter so this thing can speed along.

I'd take Arenas, but not Ginobili. Part of a game like this they overlooked was the personality aspect. Wade, Kobe, Lebron or Arenas together would be fun with the trash talk. They need to mic the players and get the ref and Ernie off the court as well and let the personality of the players come out. HORSE is about fun and talking trash to your friends, it doesn't need a ref or Ernie Johnson.
