Along with the 2010 NBA All-Star Game, there will also be a t-mobile rookie challenge which will be played by stand out first year players and second year players.
Check some info I've grab by Wikipedia:
The T-Mobile Rookie Challenge will feature a team of standout first-year players ('Rookies') against a team of standout second-year players ('Sophomores'). The game will be divided into two twenty-minute halves, similar to college basketball. The participating players were chosen by voting among the league's assistant coaches. The Rookie team includes five of the top ten picks from the 2009 NBA Draft, which are Stephen Curry, Tyreke Evans, Jonny Flynn, James Harden and Brandon Jennings. The Sophomores team features seven players from the previous Rookie Challenge game, which are Michael Beasley, Marc Gasol, Eric Gordon, Brook Lopez, O.J. Mayo, Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook.[16] However, Rose was later replaced by Anthony Morrow due to Rose's participation in the Skills Challenge and the All-Star Game.
The head coaches for the Rookies and Sophomores teams are the lead assistants from the All-Star Game coaching staffs, Adrian Dantley from the Denver Nuggets and Patrick Ewing from the Orlando Magic. They are assisted by two All-Stars who will served as assistant coach, Kevin Durant and Chris Bosh. Durant participated in his third successive Rookie Challenge game, after playing as a rookie and sophomore in the last two years. Bosh, a Dallas native, will be returning to his hometown where he grew up and starred in high school basketball. Dantley and Durant will coach the Rookie team while Ewing and Bosh will coach the Sophomore team.
NBA All-Star Starters Dwight Howard and Dwyane Wade will join TNT's broadcast team as analysts. In addition, Howard will also be an analyst for the first ever NBA All-Star Dunk-In, which will decide the fourth participant for the Slam Dunk Contest. The Dunk-In will be contested by rookie DeMar DeRozan and sophomore Eric Gordon, who also participated in the Rookie Challenge game.
