    well I think that Mudiay was born in Congo or smth. And his parents were asylum seekers and moved to Texas after he was born.
    So he is international enough.

    I thought you were only using "media conspiracy" sarcastically, ironically(?)... You're using your own term wrong. Or you're just using it way too frivolously.

    unlike.

    Oh, this is good. Very good. I hope these guys take this as a great insult. Take their game to the next level and dominate the competition.

    They must have been using alternative facts to make the selections.

    I don't know how you can say that. Clearly, CLEARLY the widespread media hatred for All Things Rockets has created an atmosphere and culture of Rocket neglect that extends to the Rising Stars Challenge Team and for all I know the Taco Bells Skills Challenge as well. How can you be so blind as to not see that? This is a conspiracy that goes far deeper than just the media . . . this extends all the way to the NBA halls of power and probably ends at the very very tippy top--yes, that's right, in Adam Silver's office. There. I've said it.

    NBA assistant coaches selected this year's Rising Stars. Lots of shitty assistant coaches out there like JBB.

    It's hard to knock anyone off the USA list, but I do contend that the roster should be at least 12 and possibly 14 players for each side. If I'm an owner, I don't want my guy playing 24 minutes in a rookie game. And I am an owner, but just of like a home and my car, which should be applauded but not at this level.

    Adam Silver fails to appreciate motor and sneaky athleticism.

    This makes me question the integrity of the BBVA Compass NBA Rising Stars Challenge.

    Our institutions are crumbling

    Deputy Commissioner Tatum: How about thar Sam Dekker guy from Wisconsin who plays for the Rockets? He does alley oops and could be a star in Utah...if you know what I'm getting at...

    Commissioner Adam Silver: slow footed

    Tatum: OK, pass, next guy is...

    Silver: Busty.

    Tatum: ok..next guy..

    Silver: Lacks lateral movement

    Tatum: ok...I heard you...
