02/17/2007 - Las Vegas, NV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York's David Lee garnered MVP honors with 30 points, making all 14 of his shots from the floor, as the sophomores beat the rookies, 155-114, in the All-Star rookie challenge Friday night.
Lee, who tops the league with 61.2 percent in shots made this season, also had 11 rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots and Monta Ellis added 28 points on 13-of-16 shooting for the sophomores, who set a scoring record for the contest.
"It was a tremendous experience just to be included in the All-Star Weekend," Lee said. "I really thank the NBA for making me a part of it. I went out tonight and we said we were going to share the ball and have fun. We had some of the Phoenix Suns assistants as coaches, so we were running and gunning. Chris Paul and Deron Williams made it very easy on me tonight."
Paul came up with 16 points, 17 assists and nine steals for the sophomores. Williams tallied 19 points, while Danny Granger and Raymond Felton each had 17 and Luther Head 15.
The sophomores shot 74.7 percent (68-of-91) to win going away.
"It was a lot of fun, especially after participating last year as a rookie," Paul said. "We got beat. As sophomores, we didn't want to let that happen again. We felt like we were veterans coming into this game tonight."
Rudy Gay and Paul Millsap shared top scoring honors for the rookies with 22 points apiece. Adam Morrison ended with 16 and Randy Foye 14 in a losing cause, as the rookies struggled to a 4-for-21 performance from beyond the arc.
Lee's follow jam extended the sophomores to an early 28-15 lead in the opening half and the rout was on. The sophomores led 77-48 at the intermission and cruised the rest of the way.
Toronto's Andrea Bargnani, last year's top draft pick, had 12 points.
The matchup was a prelude to the NBA All-Star game, scheduled to take place this Sunday at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.
Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.
Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds
With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.
That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.
Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.
After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.
The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
