thierryhenry50, dunking abilities were one reason to sign White. Ah heck, it was the only one. On the All-star/Rookie deal - that's NBA Live.
This is my try to create a star in the making. I wont write all the back-stories to his career like Sit, because I can't write as good. Hope you like the concept. And I hope Sit isn't upset.

Question: Did you do the news in Photoimpact? Because when I try to make a pic, transparent background and text, the program freezes and sends me to the desktop.

This Parmer guy sounds like he'll need to bulk up a bit first... At 195 lbs he's a bit frail, but I'm sure that his scoring instincts well make up for it. Who would you realistically compare his game to?
Its_asdf, I'd say probably a little bit thinner and a little bit quicker Michal Redd. Not the most athletic, but a great shooter. He's not as quick as Dwyane Wade of course. That's an optimistic comparison.
i bet i'm atleast in the bench of the asg,and yeah! i'm starting the asg and the first time i'll play with Sit my rivalmhope he don't get an point because of my assist

------------------------------------------------------------- Rashard hits 8 threes as Heat beat Dallas in OT -------------------------------------------------------------
Wade's dunk was so spectacular, he couldn't maintain his balance.
In a rematch of the 2006 NBA Finals, the two teams have different players, but the intensity was still there.
You could still feel the energy from 5 years ago. The game was close all the way, from start to finish. The biggest lead by either team was 7.
The Heat had just increased their lead to 7 and were hoping to run out the clock, but missed free throws and poor defense on Jason Kidd, Dirk Nowitzki and Gerald Green allowed the Mavs to get to within 3 with 2.5 seconds to go.
All the Heat had to do was inbound the ball to someone, who could make a free throw. At least one. All 5 players on the court could have shot them, but the Mavs were increadible pressuring the Heat and it resulted in a 5 second count on the inbound pass.
The ball went over to the Mavericks and Dirk Nowtizki made a three over Michael Beasley with 0.6 seconds to go to sent the game to OT. Rashard Lewis had a shot to win it, but couldn't pull off a miracle.
In the OT, Lewis did manage a small miracle. He knocked down 5 threes in the OT period, going 5-6 from distance. D-Wade was mostly responsible for the points, as he was switched to point guard by coach Spoelstra and Jason Kidd couldn't stay in front of him.
Wade had 4 dimes in the OT period and also scored 8 points. The Heat scored 25 points in the OT-period, which tied an NBA record held by the New Jersey Nets, set in 1996.
Rashard Lewis finished with 44 points and 7 rebounds. His made 8 threes are a new career-high. "If that's not All-Star worthy, I don't know what is." stated D-Wade after the game about his teammate's performance. Rashard said the same about D-Wade, who finished with 28 points and 10 assists.
Wade added : "On the other hand, it's a good thing. I can rest a bit and participate in the NBA Cares programs."
Jeff Foster committed 3 fouls in his Heat debut in 9 minutes. James White wasn't suited up, but coach Spoelstra stated, that White will be playing against Boston.
Next game : American Airlines Center VS Boston Celtics (11-9) 8.30 PM

If I'm not mistaken you missed 1 Western All-Star reserve, there is 6 players listed. Good to see me playing in the Rookie-Soph game, even being on the bench.
Man the All-Star lineups are fucked up.. whatever happened to Kobe and D-Wade? That just sucks especially with Wade who is really having a great season..
Anyways, nice to know that cyber "me" was included in the Rookie game.
--------------------------------------------------------------- Beasley's late three guides Heat to 4th straight win. ---------------------------------------------------------------
Fans enjoyed White's debut.
Rashard Lewis was hot again, as he made 6 threes en route to 34 points as he led the Heat over the Celtics 118-111 just one day before the Rookie Challenge.
It was battle between the "big fours" - Marbury+Allen+Pierce+Garnett VS Wade+Lewis+Beasley+Haslem. The benches didn't play a significant role, as both benches combined for 26 of the 229 total points scored.
The Heat were in control again, but Ray Allen hit a three over D-Wade to tie the game with 15 tics on the clock. Coach Spoelstra called a 20-sec timeout and they play was simple - let D-Wade go 1-on-1.
Wade lost control of his dribble and shot a three, which was tightly contested. It was off, so the Heat had to go to OT for the second straight game.
Rashard Lewis didn't score 15 points this time, but did score 7 points. D-Wade added 5 of his 15.
Reserve James White came in for Udonis Haslem, who was in foul trouble. Beasley played center and did alright.
White had 2 spectacular dunks in the OT period, which got the crowd going. They were just about to sit down, when once again White threw down a monster dunk. This was over the Celtics leader Paul Pierce. White was so energized, he started taunting Pierce. White received a technical for that.
The Heat had a three point lead with 45 seconds left. James White was still in the game, covered by Pierce. Pierce said to White : "Show me what you got!"
White faked to the right, then drove to the basket from the left, stopped, and made a 19-feet jumper. Pierce was still behind him, on one knee, as he lost his balance after White's move. White said after the basket : "Something like that?"
White's joy was quickly ended by Stephon Marbury, who made a three with 21 seconds remaining on the shot clock and 37 on the game clock. On the next play, D-Wade was double-teamed, he passed it to Lewis, who was double-teamed even quicker and he found a wide-open Micheal Beasley from the corner.
Beasley was 1-3 before receiving the ball. But the third year pro from Kansas State didn't hesitate and knocked it down.
The Heat were now up by 5. Marbury tried to be the hero again, but missed, finishing the game with 3-10 from distance and Udonis Haslem set the final score 118-111.
The NBA will now go on a break to follow the All-Star festivities.
Do you add some effects to the pics? They look really good. And it's not "Big Four", it's "Fantastic Four" Lewis seems to be unstoppable.

thierryhenry50, I edited them a little bit yes. I had to edit the Garnett pic a lot, because I have huge pink screens where those light behind him are. But the editing mostly takes 5 seconds to make the pictures look good.
I'll be posting the Rook-Soph challenge recap within the next 1-3 hours!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crabman takes MVP honors as Rookies triumph over Sophomores. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crabman scored 25 points and 7 dished assists and now holds the MVP trophy.
The first pick of the draft - Lenny Crabman - is currently not in the top 3 in the race for ROY, but he wanted to prove that the Grizzlies didn't make a mistake picking him, as he joined fellow rookies Albano Spagnoletti, William Sit and Karl Peebo to try to end the Sophomores conquer.
Crabman was on a mission straight from the start, as he scored 18 points in the first half. William Sit mean while, who will also be playing in the All-Star Game, tried to prove he is the best rookie and that he is worthy of an All-Star start.
The first half was a shootout between the two. The Rookies coach Bob McAdoo wanted both of them on the court together, to provide maximum offense. The two combined attempted 25 threes, making 12 of them. Crabman had a couple of assists to Sit behind the arc, whilst Sit shot as soon as he caught the ball.
In the background of the two shooters, Albano Spagnoletti quietly scored 19, as he scored most of his points when the two were on the bench. Spagnoletti is still a bit upset about not starting in the event and the fact that William Sit was basically rubbing it in to everyone in the Rookies locker room that he is an All-Star.
He and Crabman were both subbed out at the same moment in the start of the 4th quarter. Sit looked up at the scoreboard and saw his statline compared to Lenny's. He shook his head, drank a cup of Gatorade and threw it behind his back, not noticing it hit a small child.
Sit has promised Knick fans that he will be the first Knick to win All-Star Game MVP trophy. He also promised that he will be the 4th Knick to be the Rookie of the Year.
The Rookies made 15 threes, but the whole team attempted a total of 42 threes.
