    After watching The Rockets for the past two years It feels very normal watching the celebrity game, about the same amount of talent and score...

    “Injured and unable to attend, he’s an exciting playmaker who was the 2nd overall pick, Jalen Green.”

    “A center who ignites his team's offense, Alperen Sengun.”

    Team Deron vs Team Pau
    Team Joakim vs Team Jason
