Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Tom Haberstroh has a lovely recap of the South Florida All-Star Classic held Saturday at Florida International University, starring LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, Chris Bosh, Amar'e Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony and pretty much every other star you can think of. After the game, LeBron addressed the 4,000 fans in attendance, thanking them for their patience while the NBA lockout is trucking along.
But the best note is, of course, about Damon Jones.
Great moment when Team LeBron tried to win the game coming out of a timeout with 2.0 seconds remaining in regulation. Damon Jones, who hasn't played in an NBA game in over two years and barely played in Saturday's game, thought he was coming in for the final play. He ran out on the court, pointing to teammates and telling them he was subbing in. They disagreed and Jones subsequently found an empty seat courtside and plopped right into it. Across from the team benches.
Oh, Alfred. Never change.
