With the SLOX All-Star Weekend taking place, what about the NBA All-Star Weekend?
So who's going to compete in the Rookies vs Sophomores game this year? Here's a list of last year's rookies...
Rookies: Tony Allen Luol Deng Ben Gordon Devin Harris Dwight Howard Andre Iguodala Emeka Okafor Josh Smith Beno Udrih
Al Jefferson ended up substituting for an injured Emeka Okafor...
So who will be on each squad this time around?

Not so sure. Sarunas Paul backcourt will destroy the sophomores.

From the Oklahoman..........
Chris Paul (ribs) might sit out of this weekend’s All-Star festivities in Houston.
His bruised tailbone doesn't hurt him anymore, but his ribs are still a concern. "It’s like sharp pins in my side," Paul said. "And sometimes if I sneeze it hurts." He is scheduled to play in Friday night’s Rookie/Sophomore game and the Skills Competition on Saturday. Paul said he isn’t sure about his status Wednesday against Portland, much less what he’ll do this weekend in Houston.

From the Milwaukee Sentinal Journal...
T.J. Ford said if his back wasn't feeling better by tonight, he did not expect to play much in the Rookie Challenge.
"If it's still bothering me, I think I may just get my feet wet and sit down," said Ford. He was hurt when Nick Collison ran into Ford on Tuesday night. Ford played 37 minutes on Wednesday night, but his performance was affected by the injury.
