Tyreke Evans was unstoppable going to the rim. I don't think he set one person up, and his shot was off, but he got it whenever he wanted and score is what he's going to get paid to do.

Brandon Jennings made the game flow. His shot was on point from deep when he took it and he made second-option passes scoreable. Keep hating on him but he keeps getting it done and did it in the one setting where all the best were. An inflated 20+ assists from the man on the microphone was the total they gave, but the real 17 he had were nice enough to be 30.

And Lance Stephenson was a beast. Nobody could hold him. He was the best player on the court. 38 points? He didn't miss much either. He made light work of your favorite player. We could run down the roster and he want at them - Tyreke Evans, Xavier Henry, Sylven Landesberg, they all felt the wrath and got a look at that trademark scowl from the beast from the east.

And those three guys put on a show to write home about.

Everybody came to play. Even with all that talent, a game can easily not live up to expectations. But those three players took it to another level and it was great to see everybody else not glory hog and jack shots while the MVPs were in the middle of something.

The game was a rare opportunity to see certain guys go one-on-one. And it was great because there was a lot of trickery and not a lot of sloppiness.

It was the four MVPs that had the most intriguing matchups people were thinking about in a game like this.

Tyreke Evans vs. Lance Stephenson and Brandon Jennings vs. Jrue Holiday.

Tyreke and Lance was something else. Both of them have ridiculous handle. Lance with his in-and-out, Tyreke with his deep crossover.

They were calling it 'Reke Havoc vs. Born Ready.

Lance got it going first with a crossover in transition and a behind-the-back no-look lob for a dunk to the trailer.

This is one of the courts he plays at in the summer and he had his share of Harlem fans there that a Brooklyn kid has won over.

Tyreke had a monster fourth quarter where nobody could keep him from getting to the rim. He was still in warm-up mode when the game started and drew a couple whistles on some slowed down, methodical drives.

But when they finally picked each other up at half court it was magic in that park for those three straight possessions.

Both showed no mercy and toyed with each other.

Lance got to the rim after some obnoxious stop-and-go's. Tyreke caught him with a right-to-left and had a jumper that he sat on and just continued to work his handle out.

It was just two of the best scorers and most fun to watch guards out there simply stepping up and not shying away from what everybody in the know wanted to see.

Jennings and Holiday did the same thing. It was Arizona vs. UCLA out there. The Wildcat would rise up with the leg-kick from deep and bury a pair, then come down and hook Demar DeRozan up with a lob out of nowhere. The Bruin would get by Jennings no problem and then meet the traffic with a change of gear and some english on the lay-in that was elementary for him but dreamed about by those in the crowd eating sausage and peppers.

"Lot of athleticism on the floor here people. You too can be like this. Just change up that diet," was one of many lines from out the loud speakers.

I almost forgot how Holiday picked Jennings clean on an isolation.

People say there was no defense being played, but there was some guys digging in and that was one example.

Like John Riek - he just stood there in the paint on a two-on-one fastbreak and caused a turnover while he was getting a mosquitoe out his eye.

Who said you couldn't entertain at the Rucker on D too? If you got by Stephenson, he was going to foul you and bark at you. If you got by Jennings, he was going to take your arm off on a swipe or pull you back by the shorts.

Yeah, we had some fun moments at the Rucker Friday.

In the meantime between time, we had DeMar Derozan going in the air for alley-oops by taking off from the foul line practically and not even looking at the rim. His mid-jump is like 5 seconds long. Usually you catch the ball and throw it down. He'd catch the ball at some absurd angle, have time to do the running man and then turn and face the rim for the dunk. Really, Billy Walker couldn't see him on his best day.

Dexter Strickland had the dunk of the night though. Right wing, calls for the pick and roll, hits a left to right crossover going away from the pick and toward the baseline, takes one more dribble with his right and took off with his left for one that came out of nowhere and surprised everybody. Funny how John Starks spoke at media day and it was the same dunk he's known for. Strickland really hung tough out there and proved his worth.

BJ Mullens and Devin Ebanks came in right behind him with a pair of lobs they had to use all their wingspan to go up and get.

Name of the night was Mullens - That 70s Show, for his Sasquatch mullet. Rucker loved him.

Kemba Walker was a nice surprise in a perfect game for him to display his tricks. He didn't do anything to hurt his national name of biggest riser since school year's end.

And we know everybody has their less-famed globally but heard-about locally Rucker Park back home.

So I had to ask Samardo Samuels what his Rucker Park was back in his home of Jamaica. He wanted to send a big shout out to Falmouth Park.

Thanks for the memories guys. Keep it up. Here's to a good school year after a fun summer that we got plenty of stories from the court to tell.
