On Thursday night, TNT's Inside the NBA crew conducted the team draft for the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge that will take place during NBA's All-Star Weekend. The crew chose from the pool of rookies and second-year players eligible for the game, which led to a humorous moment when it was Charles Barkley's turn to draft Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas.
Barkley completely butchered the pronunciation of the last name, as Valanciunas became "Val-soo-ee-noo-an-sauce". Whoops.
