NEW YORK – Former Davidson guard Stephen Curry has been selected to participate in the 2010 T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam Friday, Feb. 12, in Dallas as part of the NBA's All-Star Weekend.
The Rookie Challenge is an all-star game pitting NBA rookies against second-year players. The game will be televised live nationally on TNT at 9 p.m. (EST) and will be broadcast live on ESPN Radio. The participants in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam were selected by the NBA's assistant coaches with each team submitting one ballot.
Now a member of the Golden State Warriors, Curry will play on the Rookie team with Sacramento Kings forward Omri Casspi and guard Tyreke Evans, Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson, Detroit Pistons forward Jonas Jerebko, Milwaukee Bucks guard Brandon Jennings, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jonny Flynn, Oklahoma City Thunder guard James Harden and San Antonio forward/center DeJuan Blair.
The Sophomore team features Chicago Bulls guard and reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose, Miami Heat forward Michael Beasley, Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Gordon, Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Kevin Love, New Jersey Nets center Brook Lopez, New York Knicks forward Danilo Gallinari, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, and a pair of teammates from the Memphis Grizzlies – center Marc Gasol and guard O.J. Mayo.
At halftime of the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam, Gordon and Toronto Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan will compete in the first NBA All-Star Slam Dunk-In, a single-round slam dunk competition. Fans will be able to vote via SMS text message and at NBA.com to determine who will advance to the Sprite Slam Dunk the following night.
The Rookie Challenge will be played in two 20-minute halves. Individual foul totals will be kept, but a player cannot foul out. A team will be in the penalty situation after 10 team fouls or after the second foul in the final two minutes of each half. In the event of a tie game, there will be a two-minute overtime to determine the winner. The clock will stop after each successful field goal in the last minute of each half.
