The black jersey team had a clear advantage in talent, busting out with Artest, Barry, Yao Ming, Rafer Alston and Aaron Brooks. The gray squad fielded Joey Dorsey, Luther Head, Mike Harris and D.J. Strawberry among others.

Shane Battier and Steve Francis sat out of course due to injuries, but so did Tracy McGrady, who said he had completed his work earlier in practice.

Here are a few clips from the scrimmage:

Clip #1: Yao blocks a drive (and takes a blow to the leg for his trouble). Rafer and Artest take off the other way, with Artest finishing in transition.


Clip #2: Rafer makes a nice feed to Brent Barry, who outdoes Rafer's pass with a beauty of his own to Chuck Hayes for a deuce.


Clip #3: Joey Dorsey blocks (and flattens) Aaron Brooks on a fast break. Brief scary moment as you thought Brooks was injured, but he was just fine.


Clip #4: This is for the diehards -- other than a nice cut and score by Ron Artest, there isn't anything of a real highlight ... just action from the scrimmage.
