02:30Yes, man, anytime
02:32That is live between the two of them.
02:3415-9, T.T. Mack in front.
02:37There's a foul called, and it'll be side out.
02:41All right, so we've seen kind of the style that both these teams are going to play.
02:44Good to see Edgecombe get a little bit more involved.
02:46One of the most impressive rookies in the NBA this year.
02:49Same with this guy, Tom Knippel.
02:50He is nice, Rich.
02:52He is going to be an all-time great one.
02:54And I'm glad he's getting a little burn right now to get ready.
02:58There's Derek Swain with a little hesitation.
03:00His foul and chance to get there to the line.
03:02Knippel obviously is going to be part of that three-point shooting tomorrow.
03:05One of the dark horses to win that.
03:08And he's just not a jump shooter, Jamal.
03:11And he sold that with his eyes.
03:13He looked like he was coming out.
03:14I thought he was going to shoot, but he was at a little hesitation to hit the secondary gear
03:19to get downhill.
03:19That was nice.
03:20The queen will get free throws.
03:31Hey, how about to go jump off?
03:33Oh, yeah.
03:34That's what we want.
03:35Good energy, boys.
03:36Good energy.
03:36Good energy.
03:37Good energy.
03:41T-Mac continuing to inspire his group.
03:44Reg, you say Knippel's a dark horse?
03:46You're going dark horse?
03:47Well, everyone's going to be obviously going with Lillard.
03:50Really?
03:51You think everybody's going with Lillard?
03:53I'm going with Lillard.
03:54You're going with Lillard?
03:54And who are you going with?
03:55Two touchdowns.
03:56I'm picking Knippel to win it.
03:58That's why he's a dark horse.
03:59Obviously, Devin Booker, who probably has the worst three-point shooting competition,
04:04but he has won it before.
04:05He has.
04:06He can get that.
04:06So he understands the light.
04:09But to me, Knippel, as a rookie, I just think he's going to come in and just take over.
04:17And I saw him warming up today, and he looked pretty good taking the ball off the rack.
04:20So no love for Jamal Murray.
04:23Nope.
04:23I love him.
04:24I like him.
04:26Donovan Mitchell, no love.
04:28He's been in it three times.
04:29We talked about this.
04:31Reds turned to the E-40 song.
04:33Ever did this?
04:33Nope.
04:35Edgecombe can't get the roll.
04:38Team T-Mac holding on to this five-point cushion.
04:40Carrington, bounce.
04:42Riza Shea, lots of flies.
04:43That's going to be fun, though.
04:47Three-point competition tomorrow.
04:48Shooting stars, which Knippel will also be a part of, as Mozelis will get two free throws
04:53with his team clawing back.
04:55Look at Vince getting himself involved in this game.
04:59Vince has to be up to four coaches we've had.
05:01The most involved in terms of about.
05:01Oh, it's going to happen.
05:02I can't sit down.
05:03Yeah, no.
05:03You know what that means.
05:04Look how far he's past Corliss Williams.
05:07Second half of the season is to worry about.
05:13I was going to say, you played with Corliss, so there's a different dynamic right there.
05:16Yeah, yeah.
05:16Hey, I sit down for a living now.
05:21Plus, you guys have a similar color on anyway, so you blend with the coaching staff.
05:24Let's take a look at the NBA All-Star weekend schedule tonight.
05:30NBA HBCU Classic presented by AT&T, 11 p.m. Eastern on Peacock, ESPN2, and NBA TV.
05:37Then Saturday, as mentioned, NBA All-Star Saturday, 5 p.m. Eastern on NBC and Peacock.
05:43Then Sunday, the 2026 All-Star game, 5 p.m. on NBC and Peacock.
05:47For more on these games, please go to NBA.com or visit the NBA app.
05:50Vince, what has allowed your team to kind of creep back in this here?
05:55A little energy, a little effort.
05:57I think we're playing too cool early, and that's what we said in the huddles.
05:59Like, hey, let's get rid of the cool stuff.
06:01We're trying to set the tone and play the game here.
06:03I think making a sub, getting new blood in there, we're starting to change.
06:08We just got to get some stops.
06:10See, now we're trying to push a little bit.
06:12Attack, attack, attack.
06:14There he is.
06:15That's good.
06:15There you go.
06:16Listen, and get two more free throws.
06:18That's almost, what, three of the last four possessions that they've gotten to the free throw line?
06:22You don't see this often.
06:25He sliced up the defense right there.
06:27He had the left-hand side and wanted to get back to the right.
06:30Carrington fouls him.
06:32Vince approved.
06:34Team Hacker, you like the defense that's being played by your team right now?
06:37I'm disappointed in Trey on that possession right there.
06:40You got to give him a little bit more resistance.
06:42I ain't like that right there, man.
06:43He just walked through the lane.
06:45Are you going to let him know you didn't like that?
06:47Yeah, yeah.
06:47Next time he comes over here on the sideline, I'm going to have to let him know.
06:50I have zero doubts about that, actually.
06:53I've got zero doubts.
06:54That's going to be happening.
06:58Oh, listen, man.
07:00That's a cousin explanation, right?
07:05So Edgecombe gets a couple there.
07:08Back to a four-point game.
07:09That target score is 40 for the right to play Team Mellow for the Rising Stars title.
07:14Cam Spencer back in the game.
07:17What a season Spencer has had for the Memphis Grizzlies.
07:2011.6 points per game, shooting at 45% from three.
07:23Rizache comes up short from the corner.
07:26Queen pushed the pace.
07:27Carter Bryant.
07:28Give us an appetizer.
07:29A little bounce from what we're going to see tomorrow in the dunk contest.
07:34So glad he was added to this game.
07:37We talk about the Spurs being the hottest team right now.
07:41Wimby.
07:41Castle, Fox, who was added to the All-Star game.
07:44Harper.
07:45Harper.
07:47I'm telling you, Carter Bryant is going to be one of those players in two to three years.
07:51Just as important.
07:53There you go.
07:54Come on, Rich.
07:55You got it.
07:56Come on.
07:56Hold on.
07:57Keep a hold of that thing.
07:58Oh, man.
07:59That was good, Jamal.
08:01My T-Mac went ahead.
08:02Let him fly.
08:03Let him fly.
08:04You're ready.
08:05Let him kill me.
08:06Fight over the ball.
08:07Yes.
08:07Oh, I was ready.
08:11I was ready to see you let him fly from the chair.
08:15Look at the ball.
08:16Look at the ball.
08:16I was going to say, that touch never leaves.
08:18Even sitting down, as long as you got the strength to get it up to that, I feel like you've got that.
08:23Let it go.
08:24Let it fly, Red.
08:27Let's see which team can keep a sustained rhythm here.
08:32Tyson has been lights out all season.
08:34Yes, sir.
08:35On Q-Doll.
08:36Well, what a year.
08:38They needed him to take a major leap in Cleveland.
08:40Obviously, they have title aspirations, especially now with the acquisitions they made at the trade deadline, including James Harden.
08:47Tyson's been a huge key for them.
08:49Yeah.
08:49Not like Donaldson Mitchell challenging him.
08:51Yes, Jamal.
08:52Yes, he has.
08:54That's what he wants to do.
08:54That's what he wants to do.
08:56Swing, swing.
08:57Swing, swing.
08:58You hear T-Mac.
08:58He wants the ball to move.
09:00Raisa Shea just doesn't have the legs.
09:02Let's go.
09:03Hedge go.
09:04Attack, attack, attack.
09:05T-Mac and Luke Walton trying to make sure that they're in the right positions for one another.
09:11You ready?
09:13All the way.
09:15Oh, the block behind.
09:16Oh, Brian.
09:17Defense, go ahead, go.
09:18That's what he's known for is defense prowess.
09:21I need that.
09:22Edge hook for three.
09:26Good timeout.
09:27Good timeout there by Coach Walton.
09:29He felt the surge here by Team Vince starting to creep back in this ballgame.
09:34It's Team T-Mac with a two-point lead in the battle for the Cousins and the right to go to the final.
09:41As we check in with Zora Stevenson.
09:43All right, Melo.
09:44You got a nice dub after game one, but that's done.
09:47You got to move forward.
09:48So what are you eyeing up as you watch these two teams?
09:51Just trying to see what Team Mac team like to do.
09:55Trying to see what Vince like to do.
09:57They're young, so they want to play up and down the court.
09:59They want to play fast, get a lot of threes up.
10:01They got shooters.
10:02One thing about Mac team, he got some shooters out there.
10:05Let's see.
10:06It's about us.
10:07It's not about them.
10:07Oh, okay.
10:08All right.
10:08Coach speak.
10:09Coach speak.
10:10Team Mac is up there giving guys advice.
10:13Vince won't sit down.
10:14Yeah.
10:14How much is this making you think about changing your Melo approach?
10:19We're not going to change no approach.
10:21We know when it comes time.
10:22Oh, come on.
10:25Sorry about that.
10:26We know when it comes down to winning what we got to do.
10:30I'm going to go talk to them at halftime.
10:31Make sure they get a good stretch.
10:33You're going to be all right.
10:34You know what to do.
10:35Stay Melo.
10:35Stay Melo.
10:36Win in doubt.
10:37Good stuff, Zora.
10:38I'm glad that you called him out for the coach speak because he was starting to sound like one.
10:43You know, we got to get our guys being authentic.
10:45And, I mean, Vince has been incredibly authentic.
10:47I feel like I'm watching the wire, though, right now with him.
10:50Vince is sweating through his silk.
10:51Look at him.
10:53He, as that one goes down, another corner, triple.
10:56No, he's fully sweating through.
10:58He looks like Pop Joe in the wire.
11:00He's fully dressed up.
11:03Harrington on the bounce.
11:05And a foul called Tyson.
11:07Knocked down by Dillman.
11:09Vince said he wants him to earn it from the free throw line.
11:12Yep, he just said it.
11:14The sweet move by Carter Bryant.
11:16Put the pressure on.
11:17If the bump gets two feet up fakes, those little spurs, fundamentals.
11:21Yeah, that's fundamental.
11:22You see that?
11:23Absolutely.
11:23I think he's trying to earn more minutes.
11:26He hasn't played a lot of minutes this first half of the year.
11:29But because of what he can do defensively, I think they're going to take a long look at him here in the second half of this season.
11:36Well, tomorrow on Primetime in Milan, watch Jordan Stultz go for gold in the men's 500 meters.
11:42And Jesse Diggins returns for the cross-country relay tomorrow on NBCN Peacock.
11:48Reg, you mentioned Donovan Mitchell calling out Jalen Tyson.
11:51Well, he just showed up with his jersey on, sitting courtside.
11:54He's got that 20.
11:56It's hidden right now by the jacket.
11:58But that 20 is certainly proud.
12:00And it looks like he's got the Tyson on the front, not the back.
12:04And he's coaching him right now, right from the start.
12:06He's excited to be here.
12:08Superstar players supporting their young teammates.
12:11Tyson has the board.
12:13Off to the races.
12:14Knipple, full head of steam.
12:17That one knocked around a couple of times.
12:18Finally, Wells grabs him.
12:21Wells with numbers.
12:22And the slam.
12:24Boozelis gets bouncy.
12:26Now every possession is going to matter here for both teams.
12:31Tied up here.
12:32Target's score is 40 people.
12:34First to 11.
12:35Madison help.
12:36No one comes, but he blows the bunny, Jamal.
12:39Yes, he does.
12:40And Hedgecombe comes down with a lot of speed.
12:42Leaves it for Wells.
12:44Can't hit.
12:45Rebound.
12:46Putback and one.
12:47It's George doing work.
12:52And look at Vince.
12:54Telling his guys.
12:55Telling BJ to push it.
12:58Boozelis throwing to the square.
13:02Remember, he was in last year's slam dunk competition.
13:04Didn't do very well.
13:06And then here's Keyshawn George here.
13:09Keeps saying these young guys that you've never seen before.
13:12These rising stars trying to make a mark here.
13:16Offensive rebound.
13:19Get a good one.
13:20Get a good one.
13:20Get a good one.
13:21Get a good one.
13:21You hear Vince.
13:21Get a good one.
13:23Short.
13:25Oh, Kniff hits the deck.
13:27It doesn't matter the time, the place, the score, the circumstance.
13:31He is going to give all-out effort.
13:32He just couldn't get possession.
13:34Well, he's done it in high school.
13:35Played like this.
13:36Obviously, the one year at Duke, and right now, giving it all here in the rising stars.
13:41This one is feeling different.
13:43Yes, it is.
13:43Vince and T-Mac.
13:44Yes, it is.
13:44It feels personal, and now Vince's side is going to take the timeout.
13:48It's a two-point game.
13:50And yeah, real, real personal.
13:51Look at Mac.
13:51He's quiet.
13:52He's quiet over there.
13:53He got that quiet walk, too.
13:57That extra stare down as well.
14:00Let's hear what else everybody's had to say during this one.
14:03Go ahead, go ahead.
14:08You go, you go, you go.
14:09You go, you go.
14:11Watch your wall.
14:11Watch your wall.
14:13Go get that.
14:14Right coming, right coming.
14:16Go, go, go, go.
14:17Right there.
14:21So these two teams battling it out.
14:25And Vince's team trying to make sure that they can find their way all the way through.
14:29Target score is 40.
14:31Vince's team nine points away from booking their spot in the final against Team Mellow.
14:37Team T-Mac has Jalen Tyson, who has put up some gaudy numbers this year.
14:41I told T-Mac before this, I was like, yeah, you know, you got Jalen Tyson shooting 48% from three.
14:46And he's like, you said, what?
14:47He didn't even know.
14:48He didn't know.
14:49How much?
14:50Do your homework here, gentlemen.
14:5248?
14:53Brother Jordan will probably be a first-round draft pick out of Arizona State.
14:57Oh, no.
14:57There's no probably.
14:58There's no probably.
14:59Will be.
15:00He's likely going to be the first wide receiver taken.
15:05And Team Vince.
15:07So Vince has not sat down.
15:09T-Mac's been given pointers from the bench.
15:10T-Mac, how are you feeling right now?
15:14Uh-oh.
15:16Uh-oh.
15:16There's a little hesitation.
15:17No, no, I'm a little encouraged by what I've seen.
15:20A little encouraged.
15:21Yeah, yeah, I'm encouraged.
15:22We're good.
15:24You know, T-Mac got that Caribbean personality, so my team's going to take on that.
15:27We don't get rattled.
15:29Oh, yeah.
15:29They're not going to know.
15:31Mee-J.
15:31Edgecumpe fights the bottom.
15:32Look at the head.
15:33Yeah, whenever you start talking about yourself in third person like that, Matt, that team usually
15:37follow.
15:38It's never good.
15:38And it just did.
15:40If they ever needed a bucket, it's right now.
15:43And this would be huge from that man.
15:45Does it go from Knipple?
15:48Gentlemen, head up.
15:52George, thought about it.
15:54Knipple trying to stay in front.
15:55George, kick, swing.
15:59Edgecumpe buries it.
16:01Back-to-back threes by Edgecumpe.
16:05You know it.
16:06Putting team back closer to elimination.
16:11Ten straight for Team Vince.
16:13Tyson doesn't have the response.
16:15They can win it with a three.
16:17Wells.
16:19Edgecumpe has come alive.
16:21Gelman for the win.
16:23Oh, in and out.
16:25Yes.
16:28If I get another empty possession, if I'm Team Vince, I'm getting a two.
16:31Whoa.
16:33Whoa.
16:33They just trying to put it to the skies.
16:36Bruce Ellis.
16:37He'll go for the win.
16:39I'm taking a two.
16:40Don't let him walk you down.
16:41Let's go.
16:42That's right.
16:42They need to score, though.
16:44Why don't we?
16:45Oh, Trey Johnson.
16:46What are we doing?
16:47He heard him.
16:47He heard him.
16:48What are we?
16:49Oh, good shot.
16:50We heard him.
16:51Oh, good shot.
16:53But this is dangerous.
16:53You have to get twos right now.
16:55Get the score twice.
16:56Yeah.
16:56Yeah.
16:57Look, you come back.
16:59Just get a bucket.
17:00It doesn't have to be a three.
17:02Stop going for the home run.
17:04All the way.
17:04And let's it present itself.
17:06Woo-wee.
17:07That'll help.
17:08There you go.
17:08Oh, that's right.
17:09Neal, he had a steal.
17:12Gary, he's falling out right here to close him out.
17:16Oh, he's going for that MVP.
17:17Yes, he is.
17:18You heard Melo saying it was clinging to start the game for them and Reed Shepard to finish.
17:23Right now, it's been B.J. here down the stretch for Coach Vince Carter.
17:29I'm going to say it's been B.J. and Vince.
17:30Vince has rallied the troops.
17:32He's walked them down.
17:33Hey, raise up.
17:33Three.
17:34Three.
17:35Look.
17:35There he's allowed us in the gym.
17:39There we go.
17:40There we go.
17:41It sounds like that.
17:42Press count before it's snapped.
17:44Tyson picks you on home.
17:45He's trying to keep them within striking distance.
17:50Now, anything.
17:52They look for a bigger role right now.
17:55B.J. Edgecombe has 15 points for Team Vince.
17:59Blue's Ellis.
18:00Oh, they're going to give it to him.
18:02Okay.
18:03To your point, Jamal.
18:05I'm trying to tell.
18:06A three would go a long way here, Team Axe.
18:08A three would go a long way.
18:10I was just here at LA's Fitness the other day.
18:13Don't mess around with the game.
18:15Oh.
18:17Tighten it out.
18:17Get a three.
18:18Get Johnson.
18:20They just need a bucket at this point, Rez.
18:22Step away.
18:24Rebound.
18:24Spencer.
18:25Find Kahn.
18:26They want three.
18:28Can they get it to somebody for an open look on the outside?
18:31Spencer thought about it.
18:33Knipple's going to have to take it.
18:35Knipple.
18:36Spencer pushes it off.
18:38You need two stops now, Rez.
18:40I told you.
18:42Don't try to be a hero right now, but I think B.J.'s going to try to end this party.
18:46T-Mac's on the court.
18:47At this point.
18:48Oh, they want a double high here.
18:50Double high screen.
18:51Edgcumbe.
18:53Edgcumbe.
18:54Stop.
18:54Night-night.
18:55Pop.
18:55Winner.
18:56Night-night.
18:57B.J. Edgcumbe.
18:59Night-night.
18:59Sends Team Vince to the final.
19:01Oh.
19:01Oh.
19:02Push the pace.
19:12That has been the theme for Coach Vince Carter and B.J. Edgcumbe.
19:20Boy, he put the team strictly on his back here down the stretch.
19:26He scored the last 10 for Team Vince as they win it 41-36, 17 for B.J. Edgcumbe, putting
19:34on a show in the Castro Rising Stars.
19:39Let's go to Ashley.
19:41All right, B.J., that was 10 straight points from you there to end this one.
19:46What came over you on those final couple minutes to get this win ahead of the championship game?
19:50I'm going to be honest.
19:51I'm trying to win.
19:52I'm trying to win.
19:53I'm just trying to.
19:53I'm having fun.
19:55I'm having fun, so I'm not there.
19:56Just who's been, yeah.
19:58Vince coaching your guys' team as the honorary coach.
20:01What was he like?
20:02The energy?
20:03Just how did he bring it to you guys and the passion from it?
20:06Tell me a little bit about the pregame speech, too, just to give it to you guys and get this
20:10win now.
20:11Yeah, he said go out there and compete.
20:13So that's what we did, man.
20:14We just went there and compete, be aggressive.
20:16We just got to get more stops.
20:18Feel me?
20:18You got to get more stops, bro.
20:19But overall, it's good.
20:20And now you're headed to the Rising Stars championship game facing Team Melo.
20:25Talk to me a little bit about a game plan for this next one.
20:28I just got to play hard.
20:29Get some stops and play hard.
20:30I love it, Vijay.
20:31Congratulations.
20:32Thanks so much.
20:33Thank you.
20:33Thank you.
20:34All right, Ashley.
20:35Well, T-Mac looked like the player who just lost the Super Bowl and has to watch the other
20:41team celebrate with the company right after that.
20:43He was stoic, but Vijay Edgecombe, full takeover mode, finishes with 17 points, three of four
20:50from downtown, and he eventually finds a way to win it.
20:54He goes to the rack to get them within one point of victory.
20:58Boozelis was feeling it from his teammate.
21:00And then it was Vijay Edgecombe, who was the number one pick by Vince Carter in this draft
21:06for the teams.
21:08This is why.
21:09He's a gamer.
21:09We've seen him in clutch time all year for the Philadelphia 76ers.
21:13Get it done time and time again.
21:16And sure enough, Vijay finds a way to get it done with a winner at the end.
21:22Over the top, the two ball.
21:25Feeling it going away over Spencer.
21:27It'll be Team Vince versus Team Melo, and Tracy McGrady just couldn't believe if Team
21:34lost this one.
21:37But Vince Carter, the Hall of Famer, has set up a matchup for the Dream for the Castor Rising
21:43Stars.
21:43...shot, sending Melo into celebration.
21:46Game two, Cuz vs. Cuz.
21:49Vince with his number one pick.
21:51Vijay Edgecombe, 17 points for Final Ten.
21:55Game of the Trust presented by American Express.
21:57Could have been Vijay, could have been Reed Shepard great at the end of game number one.
22:01But no, we're giving it to Christian and Scooby, live here in the Intuit Dome, performing
22:08before the championship game here on Rising Stars Friday.
22:12So glad you're with us.
22:13Ahmed Farid here with two men who would rather be anywhere else but here.
22:18But you lost, so you've got to be here.
22:20Exactly.
22:20Austin T-Mac, do you want to take full responsibility, or is there someone you want to blame?
22:26No, I honestly, I thought we were prepared.
22:29I thought my guys came out and did some great things, but when we started making subs, that's
22:36when we were here.
22:37Yeah.
22:38I thought we had control of the game.
22:40We did.
22:40We were the first ones to 30.
22:42You know, I thought it was going to be Lawler's Law there for a second.
22:44We got to 30 first.
22:45What happened when we broke it down to them that we only needed 10 more points, our offense
22:51went just complete south.
22:53Got a little tight.
22:54The bigs were working.
22:55Hanson and Dieterhauser.
22:58No answer for Vijay at the end of the game.
23:01Vijay had it on his mind today.
23:02I think Vince put that battery in his back, but it wasn't operating properly.
23:07We had no answer for Shepard.
23:08Yeah, that's true.
23:10End of the game at 12.
23:12Two runs at the end.
23:13Shepard goes for three.
23:14So, I mean, this has been good basketball.
23:17You guys got these guys playing hard.
23:19No, I think everybody that's watching this should be proud of what they're raising because
23:25these guys have come out and they set its own.
23:28What we wanted them to do, they did exactly that.
23:30Who's your pick?
23:31Who's winning?
23:32I got Team Melo.
23:34Yeah.
23:35I got Team Melo.
23:36I got to go with Cuzz.
23:37You're going with Cuzz.
23:39Oh, yeah.
23:39After all that.
23:41After all that.
23:42If I'm going to lose, I got to lose in your coaching box.
23:44All right.
23:45Championship game next.
23:46Team Melo.
23:47Team Vince.
23:48Next.
23:49We got off to a quick start, but it was Team Melo with Reed Shepard and eventually Dylan
23:59Harper that secured the victory in our first of our early two games.
24:03Then, in the second game, after the Battle of the Brothers, it was the Battle of the Cousins.
24:10And Team Mack and Vince, BJ Edgecombe scored the last ten for Team Vince, including this
24:16step-away middie to send that squad to the title.
24:20So, 41-36, 40-34.
24:24We've got a target score of 25 between Team Melo and Team Vince, the side of winner of the
24:31Castro Rising Stars on this Friday night.
24:34Touch it again, Russ.
24:35Yeah.
24:35Reggie.
24:36Touch it again, Russ.
24:36Getting the ball, getting a feel of the ball here.
24:38What are you guys like at this one?
24:39I know, I mean, we already kind of decided beforehand, so are you sticking with your pick?
24:43I'm sticking with my pick, but I love the actual individual matchup between Castro and
24:48Edcombe that I know is going to come to the forefront.
24:51Well, that's what Vince told us in the back when we were coming out.
24:54Yeah.
24:54He's like, we are going to go straight at Vijay.
24:56We don't care what he did in that previous game.
24:59Castle's going to go straight at him.
25:02Win, win, win, win.
25:03Well, Vijay's teammate Tyrese Maxey, courtside to support.
25:07Two-time All-Star, named the starter for the first time this year.
25:11Donovan Mitchell still there after Jalen Tyson's team faltered in the previous game.
25:18So, it'll be Melo and Vince to duke it out.
25:21We saw Castle, some sparkly moments.
25:27Melo called out Reed Shepard, rightfully so, for his play down the stretch in their opening
25:31game.
25:32Dylan Harper had the game winner.
25:34Vijay Edgecombe was Mr. Do-It-All.
25:37And we've already got some jawing with Harper and Derek Queen.
25:41A couple of rookie first-round picks.
25:44I like it.
25:46I like it.
25:47I like it.
25:49Do you like Dylan then say, no, no, I didn't do anything.
25:51That wasn't me.
25:53That was a pinball played by Team Vince.
25:56The bench has been nothing but energy from the start.
26:00Yes.
26:01Look at Castle go right to guard.
26:03It's going right from the start.
26:05Stay back.
26:07Bozella's no.
26:08Rebound, Dioman.
26:12Dioman will try.
26:13Wow.
26:14Derek Queen, third chance.
26:16Keyshawn George sees it up.
26:18He's with us.
26:21Let's see now the longer layoff for Team Melo.
26:25How do they handle it right out of the gates?
26:28Castle kick.
26:29Clingon hit a couple of threes in the first game.
26:31Queen turned around and Clingon said, that's disrespectful.
26:34Well, didn't, didn't he sound like this in game one, right?
26:37He did.
26:38I'm coming behind the arc here.
26:39That he did.
26:40He started it and re-shepered into him.
26:42Edson doesn't have the response.
26:44Another off-pitcher board.
26:46Bozella's thrive.
26:47And finish.
26:48Well, if you're a coach, Melo, you got to do something on the glass, man.
26:54They're killing you on the glass.
26:59That one's knocked that down stand here.
27:01So now we do have the battle with the Rutgers stars out there together.
27:05Team Vince has Vijay Edgecumbe, the third overall pick, is going to be the two third overall picks in the last two years with Reed Shepard.
27:15As Castle comes up short.
27:17The leak out.
27:18Edgecumbe.
27:18He can fly.
27:27Clingon will keep trying.
27:29Yes.
27:29Tiago's splitter, are you watching this?
27:35Are you seeing what's happening?
27:38The possibilities are endless.
27:41Queen can't hit.
27:43Harper.
27:44See if they find Clingon.
27:45For the hat trick.
27:48Instead, it's Harper.
27:50And this goes quick.
27:52Target score 25 now, not 40 people, 25.
27:55Who played and who sat out?
27:57Because I can't tell right now.
27:58They're on fire.
27:59Edgcumbe.
28:02He took over late in the last game.
28:05Can't take over early here.
28:06George doing all the work.
28:10Reggie, you mentioned Keyshawn George.
28:11He's showing a little bit of that grit that we get to see on a nightly basis in D.C.
28:17Let's go.
28:18Let's go.
28:19Run with him.
28:19Run with him.
28:21I like the vision of this young man, Derek Queen.
28:24From the Pelican.
28:25Oh, look at the footwork here.
28:27Booze Ellis.
28:28Oh, ho, ho, ho.
28:30Doing a Jamal Crawford here.
28:33Oh, ho, ho.
28:33Come on.
28:34That was some fun of the middles right there, Reg.
28:36Raise down.
28:42Shepard, no.
28:43Hey, run.
28:43His first miss.
28:44Get your layup.
28:46Get your layup, says Benz.
28:47No middle.
28:50No middle.
28:52Bump.
28:52We know it's coming.
28:54Straight on.
28:55Hands there by Shepard.
28:58Castle.
28:59Cross.
29:00Drive.
29:00Wow.
29:01Showing off the athleticism.
29:03Let's go.
29:03I love watching Benz coach.
29:08And Joe, it takes it coach to coach.
29:10I just told him that out in the back.
29:12I said, Benz, you're a natural coach, right?
29:15Well, he's used to it.
29:15He's coaching his kids now.
29:17Yes.
29:17And his son texted him and said, yeah, it's like when you're coaching us.
29:21That's awesome.
29:23That's awesome.
29:24I didn't know what to say, but yeah, you're right.
29:25Queen.
29:29Oh, we're going to get one of them.
29:31Stop letting him up the hook, this fella.
29:34Harper.
29:35Oh, the defense ramped up now.
29:37Bailey Nub.
29:38Long rebound, Castle.
29:40Come on, man.
29:40Harper.
29:42Is tripped.
29:48Take a look from the AT&T Connected Camp.
29:52Long pass up top.
29:54Edgecombe gets up.
29:55And then just the fundamentals.
29:59I'll just trick you.
30:01My house was talking to me last night about footwork,
30:03and he has so much game, always trying to get better.
30:05We had a moment, and he was trying to figure out the behind the back on that
30:09when he didn't need it.
30:10He put on a ton of muscle this offseason.
30:12Yes.
30:13And what Billy Donovan has talked about with him is that he has this
30:16relentless belief in himself, almost irrational confidence.
30:20And you see it on a nightly basis, but it's a big reason why he has taken that
30:23sophomore leap.
30:24And he has a tattoo, I just noticed, for the basketball.
30:27Going through a basketball hoop on his leg.
30:29It tells you about his love for the game.
30:30He's always trying to get better.
30:31It's on that right side.
30:33He's loved the game since he was a kid.
30:35Talked to his dad last night as well.
30:36Maybe this manifestation that I'm going to be a bucket all the time.
30:39Hey, I had a basketball tattoo on me, too.
30:41Yeah?
30:41Yeah.
30:42Just straight back.
30:43And he's a walking bucket.
30:43That's exactly right.
30:44Something to it.
30:45There were a lot of points that came after that.
30:49There's the bounce for Queen.
30:52Jalen Wells is in the game.
30:54We out.
30:54We out.
30:54We out.
30:55We out.
30:55Yep.
30:56Off to the races here now for Coach Melo.
30:58There you go.
30:59Get up.
31:00Get up.
31:00Same spot.
31:02Finally misses one.
31:03If you would have made that, they were going to rename that spot.
31:05By the way, I looked to my left, and I was like, wow, somebody behind us has a lot of hair.
31:10Robin Lopez behind us.
31:11Of course.
31:12That's going to fall.
31:15Just seeing the balance, all the game.
31:18You guys talked about it.
31:19This is the first real showcase for a lot of these guys on the national and world stage.
31:23And you're seeing the future of the league.
31:25Just feels like it's in great hands.
31:28But also, too, they're setting the tone for this weekend.
31:30Yes, they are.
31:31How they play.
31:31How hard they play.
31:33This will carry on to Saturday's events.
31:35And then, hopefully, the game on Sunday.
31:38Carter-Brien offensive board.
31:39DJ has gone a little cold.
31:42Can they get Carter-Brien involved?
31:44Yep.
31:44Yes, they can.
31:46And that will lead us to our timeout.
31:4815-11.
31:50Team Vince.
31:51Ten points away from taking the title.
31:54Carter-Brien, the pride of the IE England Empire.
31:59Look at the long three here by Bryant.
32:02Coronial Centennial.
32:03One of the special players that come out of that program out of high school.
32:10For the 75th NBA All-Star Game, the Clippers distributed over 5,600 hoops in the community.
32:17During the break, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and L.A. Clippers Chairman Steve Ballmer delivered an All-Star hoop to the Zalva-Tierra family here at Intuit Dome.
32:26Cool moment.
32:28And now we'll see if Team Vince can come up with 10 more points to win the Rising Stars here on Friday of All-Star Weekend.
32:38We've got our two honorary coaches together at midcourt now.
32:42Melo is on the other side of the court.
32:45Harper twos it up.
32:46And knocks it down.
32:47Big three right there for Coach Melo.
32:50And Melo is tired of all the way through.
32:52See the play all the way through.
32:53Don't cut it short.
32:55I love that these teams are running sets.
32:57This has been off to see.
32:59That's what we want.
33:00To your guys' point, this is setting the tone for what we're going to see the rest of the way.
33:04Our coaches have been into it.
33:06These players have been into it.
33:08Edgecombe, Drive, Kick, Wells.
33:10And now they're off to the races with Harper.
33:14Why not?
33:15Oh, each other.
33:16Good pass.
33:18Fierce.
33:20Fearless.
33:21Wow.
33:22We need a bucket.
33:23We need a bucket.
33:24We need a bucket.
33:25Vince knows.
33:26We need a bucket.
33:27Set it for him.
33:28Set it for him.
33:29Set it for him.
33:32Bounce.
33:33Queen, the finish.
33:35Vince threw his hands up like, how easy is this?
33:37Simple basketball.
33:38Simple basketball.
33:39Seized again, man.
33:41Well, for some of us, maybe.
33:43Oh, you got to show out there if you're Queen.
33:45Got away with that.
33:47Run it back.
33:47Run the side screen and roll.
33:49Run it back.
33:49Edgecombe's looking to attack early.
33:52All right, go get him, Queen.
33:53He's such a great passer, too.
33:55Uh-oh.
33:57George, another offensive board.
34:00Queen, lob, Wells.
34:01Catch it.
34:02Finish.
34:05There's so much talk about giving up your first-round pick this year
34:08to move up in the draft for Derrick Queen,
34:10but by the looks of it,
34:12he could be playing in All-Star Weekends for years to come.
34:16He wants to shoot it.
34:17Yep, short.
34:18You can see it, though.
34:21Team Vince is just six points away.
34:22Queen, won't let it fly.
34:28Yeah, stronger tonight from that red-horned line.
34:33Well, the season, Queen only shooting 28% from threes.
34:36Whoa!
34:37Oh, Castle nearly somehow got tapped in.
34:41That would have been a highlight of all highlights.
34:44Instead, it's allowed the other way,
34:46and Carter Bryant continues to show off.
34:51Previewing in the Slam Dunk competition tomorrow night.
34:55Switch it!
34:55This way you have to find Castle or Cleo.
34:57Oh!
34:57Oh!
34:57Oh!
34:57He lost him in the sauce.
35:01Reed Shepard is a killer.
35:03Left to right, I see you.
35:05That's a rocket to a spur.
35:08Texas two-step on full display.
35:11Tight pass, good save.
35:14George has it.
35:1512 to shoot.
35:17And it doesn't go down.
35:20Here we go.
35:21Look at Reed's calm.
35:22He wants to be right here.
35:24He's feeling it now.
35:26It's Castle, the reigning MVP of this event.
35:28Team man on teammate.
35:30Stay home!
35:31Yeah.
35:31Pop-up spin.
35:33It's score!
35:35That's twice the player.
35:38He's not going to like those highlights.
35:40Won by Reed Shepard and then his own teammate.
35:42Team bitch, you need to score twice.
35:44It doesn't matter right here.
35:45That's okay.
35:46They're going to look for a good one.
35:48George got a good look.
35:51A rebound.
35:52It's going.
35:53Continues to make winning plays.
35:55Yeah, but a three will end it.
35:58And now a timeout call by Team Bellow.
36:00They're going to draw up, I bet you.
36:02What else could we have asked for to kick off All-Star Weekend and into it, though?
36:07What possession!
36:08One bucket either side could be a winner here.
36:13All right.
36:13A little small switch a little bit.
36:14Take a look at how he got here.
36:16That was absurd that he almost got to this.
36:19And then it just gets tipped between a couple of players and nearly goes down.
36:25But this was sick.
36:26Look at this.
36:27Left to right.
36:28Jamal, come on now.
36:30That looked familiar right there.
36:31Yeah, thank you.
36:31You can't take a lot of credit.
36:32Thank you.
36:33That one looked familiar.
36:35Woo!
36:35A little cup of the ball right there.
36:37Gets to his spot.
36:38He knows his spots on the court already.
36:40For a young player that you kind of figure it out, he knows them already.
36:43Out of nowhere, Vijay Edgecombe.
36:47Look at all the blue jerseys.
36:48And one red jersey comes up with that offensive rebound.
36:53But how many times have we seen him do it all the way through this year in his rookie campaign?
36:57Dylan Harper won it in the first game against his older brother.
37:01Ron Harper Jr. trying to stay in front.
37:03Could do so.
37:04Dylan.
37:05Let him see it.
37:06Let him feel it, too.
37:08But Vijay Edgecombe in that second game.
37:13Final ten points of the game, including this snatch back right into the pull.
37:17And the number three overall pick sent his team to the final.
37:21Now can he find a way to win it?
37:23Team Mellow has the ball.
37:24They're down one.
37:25A three wins it.
37:26All right, Jamal, if I'm Coach Vince, you've got to guard the three-point line.
37:30Only a three, obviously, will hurt you.
37:33If they get a two, so be it.
37:35But I guarantee you, they're going for a three for Reed Shepard right here.
37:39And I'm sure Team Vince has told them, switch everything from Team Mellow.
37:43I'm trying to get a guard, a bigger, and some type of action to get a switch.
37:46Wait, wait, what'd you tell him, Vince?
37:48I told him a two don't hurt us.
37:50Told you, they're switching everything.
37:51Switch everything.
37:52There it is.
37:53All the way through, Reed.
37:54I like him having Carter Bryant.
37:56Yes, sir.
37:57Smaller lineup on the floor here for Vince.
38:01Smart.
38:02Well, it's up on Shepard.
38:03Sheppard, bounce, Harper.
38:06He tried to get into his shots.
38:08Fierce.
38:09Look at him guard the three-point line.
38:11Yes, they sold out.
38:12Seven to shoot.
38:13Fierce was right.
38:14Fierce.
38:15We got him.
38:15And a follow-up.
38:16That doesn't hurt you.
38:18That doesn't hurt you.
38:21Any bucket of any kind wins it for Team Vince.
38:24You might want to call a timeout here, Vince.
38:27Uh-oh, he's trying to clear it out.
38:28He wants the matchup, because they got Kringle on the court.
38:30They don't want to take him off by far as timeout.
38:32Screen.
38:33Edge comes.
38:34Yeah.
38:34Edge comes.
38:35Oh!
38:36Oh!
38:37Oh!
38:38They can win it at the free-throw line.
38:40Oh!
38:42Yeah.
38:42Hey, Mellow, Mellow, Mellow.
38:43They wanted to go at Klingle.
38:44Mellow, Mellow.
38:45High screen and roll.
38:47That's on a foul?
38:49Hold up.
38:50You got him on the arm right there.
38:52Ooh!
38:53Challenge.
38:54Do we have challenge in this?
38:55Yeah.
38:55No challenge.
38:56There's no challenges.
38:57There's no challenge?
38:57No, I think, actually, hold on.
38:59Do they have a timeout or not?
39:00They don't have any timeouts, right?
39:04Team Vince has a timeout.
39:06Team Mellow has no timeouts.
39:08So he can't use it.
39:09He can't use it.
39:09Challenge.
39:10Oh, look at Mellow.
39:12He is sick to his stomach.
39:14Oh, and this could do it right here, people.
39:16DJ Edgecomb is a cool customer.
39:18Derrick Queen is already dancing on Team Vince's bench.
39:22It should be by two if you do it from the free-throw line.
39:2479% in his rookie season.
39:27Edgecomb trying to find a way to end both games for the win.
39:31Got it!
39:32That's it!
39:33Team Vince is your winner.
39:36Half-man, half-amazing, and a half-champion coach.
39:40And you made me look at over here, Vince.
39:53I had you, baby.
39:54I had you.
39:55Team Mac is curious as to that was how we're gonna end this game.
40:04He had the last four of this one for Team Vince.
40:24Dillon Harper did everything he could for Team Mellow.
40:27All right, Coach, winning it at the free-throw line, the team you drafted, now rising stars champs.
40:38How are you feeling, Coach?
40:40I lost my voice, but I feel great.
40:43Mellow.
40:45So, it was just great to see these guys.
40:48I mean, we wanted to set the tone on how we want to play.
40:50And it's just great to see the competition.
40:52But at the end of the game, the coaching staff was nice enough to allow me to pick a play.
40:57And we were going after the big.
40:58They were sitting back.
40:59We wanted to get our athletes and our scorers in the paint.
41:02The rest is history.
41:03The rest is history.
41:04That's incredible.
41:05And I'm excited for you.
41:07You all see this?
41:08The treatment.
41:09How they treat me?
41:10These guys right here.
41:11I mean, are you ever gonna let them live it down?
41:14You know, history speaks for itself.
41:17To play in this game, though, what does it mean for these players to be able to showcase their
41:21challenge like this?
41:22This means everything.
41:23And the one thing that we all got to say to them is that this is an opportunity to set
41:27the tone and set the tone for the weekend.
41:31I don't want to get set the tone for the weekend.
41:33But what we want to set the tone for Sunday and them showing everybody what they have for
41:39their opportunity to play on All-Star Sunday sometime.
41:42It absolutely did.
41:43Congrats, Coach.
41:43Zora?
41:45Carter, you were hype about this one.
41:47Absolutely.
41:47Why is it so much fun competing out here, talking a little smack and getting the dub?
41:51I mean, these are the guys I grew up playing with, against, going to camps with.
41:55So, I mean, it's dope.
41:57I mean, these guys played their tails off.
41:58Obviously, BJ was the head of the snake today for us.
42:01But, I mean, top to bottom for us, we did a great job.
42:03You know, the coaching staff, it's nice to get a win against my own coaching staff.
42:06But, you know, I'm grateful to just be here.
42:08I'm blessed to have this opportunity.
42:10And you talked about the opportunity.
42:11How much do you see this as a stepping stone to maybe one day getting to Sunday night?
42:15I mean, I think this is just another block in the path.
42:19I think I'm going to be here in a few years competing at the highest level against the best players in the world.
42:23So, yeah.
42:25And everybody's going to see you tomorrow night.
42:27You rocked the rims a little bit.
42:28But what you got up your sleeve?
42:30A lot of stuff.
42:31No secrets?
42:32No, we're going to have some fun, though.
42:34Thank you.
42:35Noah, take it away.
42:37All right, Zora.
42:37Somebody tell Vince that he's actually getting paid to use his voice.
42:41He needs to keep his voice.
42:43He's trying to say, keep quiet, everybody.
42:46We still have one more free throw left.
42:48But Vijay Edgecombe has been one of the best clutch players in the league, period, this year.
42:53Two for two at the line.
42:55The last four points of this one.
42:56The last ten of the semifinal game.
42:59Tyrese Maxey, his all-star teammate, sitting courtside, loving every second as Team Melo comes up one point short in the final.
43:12It's Vince Carter drafting the winning team.
43:15Trophy presentation is next.
43:20Everybody's in the center court.
43:22NBC's Ahmed Farid is with the champions of our Castro Rising Stars.
43:29What a night of basketball inside the Intuit Dome tonight.
43:37Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations to your 2026 Castro Rising Stars champions, Team Vince.
43:48That is crazy.
43:50That is crazy.
43:51Before we hand out the trophy to Vince and the winning team, we got the runners-up.
43:58So we got Austin, we got T-Mac, we got Melo, who did make it to the championship game.
44:04All right, just before we hand over the trophy, what went wrong today, Melo?
44:09Nothing.
44:10That was a great call at the end.
44:12It wasn't nothing that Donovan Clingon could do.
44:14Vijay stepped up, knocked two great free throws down.
44:18Those was clutch free throws.
44:19So shout out to Vijay for that.
44:21That was a good call.
44:22It was very good basketball.
44:23Anything to say to Cuz?
44:25Oh, congratulations.
44:27Winning on free throws.
44:28Win it any way you can.
44:30All right, the moment we have all been waiting for to present the trophy to the head coach
44:35of the championship team.
44:36It is Melo, it is T-Mac, and it is Austin.
44:38You got to go over.
44:39You got to go.
44:40You got to go over.
44:41It's got to be all three of you.
44:43What a moment.
44:44Vince, a word.
45:13You're the champion.
45:18Thank you.
45:19Yes, okay.
45:19All right.
45:19But no, it's what we wanted to get out of this, guys competing.
45:24I think the competition was great, had everybody on their seat.
45:26Yes, it was won by free throws, but the effort of these guys allowing this coaching staff to
45:33do what they do.
45:34Shout out to you guys.
45:35It was fantastic to be a part of.
45:36allowing me to get up here and yell, but you guys deserve all the credit.
45:39So please give this coaching staff a round of applause for the great job that they did.
45:44And give these champions a round of applause because they bought into what they were talking
45:49about, and we ran plays, and they remembered them, and we got in the set and got us a win.
45:54You do have two more days of TV to do, Vince.
45:57You're going to be okay?
45:58I'll be great.
45:58Hot tea.
45:59All right.
46:00All right.
46:00Fabiana Nevesh of Castro America, vice president here.
46:04Join me in center court to present the MVP award to Vijay Edgecombe.
46:13Congratulations.
46:34MVP chance throughout Intuit Dome, Vijay.
46:46What was the mindset you came in to this game with?
46:51We all decided that we was going to compete, and I told Vince from he picked me that we was
46:55going to win it.
46:56What did Vince help you?
46:57What was he telling you throughout the game?
46:59What motivated you?
47:01Just keep going.
47:02Keep being aggressive.
47:02And, yeah, my teammates, man, they made it all happen for me.
47:05You feel me?
47:05They was giving me wide-open shots, man.
47:07Shout out to my teammates.
47:08Well, you guys did a great job.
47:09Great way to start All-Star Weekend.
47:11Ladies and gentlemen, your 2026 Castro Rising Stars champions.
47:21Impressive performance for Vijay Edgecombe.
47:2423 combined points in the two games that he played and comes away with a victory on the
47:27free throws at the very end.
47:29This was a lot of fun.
47:30It felt like just the right way to kick off All-Star Weekend.
47:33We've got a whole lot left with Saturday and into Sunday, of course, with the game.
47:38But as Vijay said, you could feel the competitive spirit here tonight, and as you both said,
47:42setting the tone for the rest of the week.
47:44The tone has been set, and it was set from the jump.
47:48And what I like about it is you heard Vijay when he was accepting that MVP trophy.
47:54We wanted to come out and play hard.
47:56They said they said plays and all that, and they remembered, but the effort, Jamal, to
48:01me, the effort was there tonight.
48:03The effort was there, but the care factor was really high from everybody, and I thought
48:07that's what set the tone.
48:09These are the young stars of our game, so as they continue to improve, they will be playing
48:12on Sunday nights.
48:13Keep that care factor high.
48:14They're going to do a great job.
48:15So we saw some high-level basketball, really, in all three games.
48:20That leads us into All-Star Saturday.
48:23Tomorrow, 4.30 Eastern NBA Showtime will set us up for 5 p.m.
48:29when NBA All-Star Saturday has the State Farm Three-Point Contest, the Kia Shooting Stars,
48:34and the AT&T Slam Dunk.

48:43Coming up next, here on Peacock, it's the HBCU Classic, featuring Hampton and North Carolina

48:51Reggie Miller, Jamal Crawford, Ashley Chamity, Zora Stevenson, all of our honorary coaches,

49:08Stars, leading us all the way into all the festivities of NBA All-Star Weekend.
49:13A celebration of basketball all weekend long.
49:17But tonight belongs to Vince and his rising stars.
