    [event_details 4117]

    • In 2001, the Rookies game had 40 minutes, 10 more than the past editions. The Sophomores won their second game, with 5 players who participated in the 2000 Rookie Challenge. In this edition Baron Davis, Richard Hamilton, Shawn Marion and Jason Terry joined the sophomore team.
    • It was an exciting show, full of alley-oops and dunks. The two teams were close during the game, but Steve Francis and Wally Szczerbiak were too much for the young rookies.
    • Some Rookies made a name in the league with this game. For example, Chicago Bulls point guard Khalid El-Amin with his ballhandling. Quentin Richardson was the MVP of the Rookies with 20 points, and impressive with 14 rebounds. Darius Miles was the dunk man.
    • In the Sophomores team, Shawn Marion and Steve Francis were pretty good, but the unanimous MVP was Szczerbiak with 27 points and 11-13 FG.
    • Coaches: Kevin Loughery and Jack Marin (Team ROOKIES), Elvin Hayes and Phil Chenier (Team SOPHOMORES)
    • MVP: Wally Szczerbiak (Team SOPHOMORES)
