Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe was Team Vince's first pick of the draft that decided the NBA Rising Stars rosters. He wound up making Vince Carter look wise.

With a game-winning shot in the first game and the clinching free throws in the second, Edgecombe led Team Vince to the win in the first night of the NBA's All-Star festivities at Intuit Dome.
