Perhaps it is fitting that today’s exhibition game between many of the top NBA rookies is being played on a college campus in Provo, Utah.

Players, such as former Brigham Young star Jimmer Fredette and UCLA standout Malcolm Lee, say they’re still living the college life, what with no NBA paychecks because of an NBA lockout.

Players are excited for Jimmer’s All-Star game as a chance for competition druring an idle summer.
