Andrew Leonard in Salon:

JuWanda Harris spent the last year rising before the sun to work two jobs, using the money to support her brother and sister and help her parents with everything from gas bills to toothpaste.

She lived week to week but took solace in knowing her long hours at minimum-wage jobs would pay off once she received her tax refund. She has more money withheld than needed so she can get a hefty refund each spring. This year, she was set to collect $5,100, money she was counting on to buy a car and pay back a loan.

But nine stolen digits changed everything.

Marc Gasol estará en el escaparate del partido que, a pesar de su carácter festivo, no es ajeno a duelos entre los jugadores llamados a tomar en pocos años el relevo de las primeras figuras. El mejor jugador del partido hace un año en Phoenix, Kevin Durant, estará esta vez ya en el All Star, al igual que el base de Chicago, Derrick Rose, o el alero español de Portland, Rudy Fernández, perjudicado por la operación que le obligó a estar de baja varias semanas. Sin duda, el desafío para los Rookies es romper los siete años de dominio de los Sophomores.
