    Game was pretty boring. Was pretty upset that KD didn't show up. Getting up close with players afterwards totally made up for it. Camby is real nice. So is Kyle Lowry. Thanks to all the players who took the time for their fans!

    Stevie Francis was also there. I bumped into him when I saw him walk in late. Gave him a pat on the back and said whats up to him. Does that guy always look high?

    Here are just a few pics I took as requested....

    The game was better than I thought and well worth the money. A lot of the fun was looking to see which athletes were on the sidelines.

    The first like 10 minutes of the game, no one was playing defense, it was a DeAndre Jordan dunk show. Then defense slowly started to pick up, and I was shocked that after about 15 minutes they were shooting free throws. They actually shot a lot more free throws than I thought they would- heck, I didn't even think they would shoot free throws in the game. Then near the end of the game, they were actually going for some steals and playing a little defense.

    I didn't recognize Hill at first without his dreads. There was no announcement that he would be there. He played pretty well in the first quarter dunking and such but did absolutely nothing and shied away from the ball in the 3rd quarter.

    Kyle Lowry was raining contested threes and threes from downtown all throughout the game. Critics think his 38% from 3 point line last year was a fluke? I don't. He was the best shooter there tonight. Lowry obviously didn't get the memo that charity games are supposed to be no defense and no hustle. He didn't overdo the defense and the hustle, but I think a few steals and a little bit of hustle in the beginning got everyone else going a little more than what was expected at a game like this. He also had some layups, assists and some nice tip ins. I was definitely glad I wore my Lowry jersey.

    Scola had a few hustle plays, a few outside shots and layups, but not one of Scola's signature scooping and maneuvering around the hoop. He looked tan. lol

    Chandler Parsons was driving, dunking and hit a few from the outside. It looked like he had a good defensive stance. He desperately needs a haircut.

    Mike James came to play. That man was getting it done.

    The rockets that were there looked good. Lowry was draining threes

    I got to meet J Hill. He was super chill. I asked him if the lockout was hurting him financially and his response was "LOL, well if your boss quit giving you checks, wouldnt you be?"

    this game was pretty boring. left in 3rd quarter. players confirmed list on 11/18 about 11 or so of them didn't even show. rose acting like a god just sitting there in the bench.

    kenneth faried was the best part of the game. super athletic and very nice dunks. surprised by ex UT players: dexter pittman, damien james, cory joseph, tj ford.

    can't expect much from a game like this but i was hoping at least KD and john wall would be there playing as it was claimed. in addition to blake griffin, james harden, and baron davis.

    I would have been pissed if I bought tickets for this with Griffin, Wall, and Durant bailing out. Seems like they were supposed to be the draw.

    Eh who cares, the money goes to a good cause so not really can complain.
