Goon Squad Classic: November 20 At UC Davis

by Tom Ziller on Oct 20, 2011 2:00 PM PDT in News

The Goon Squad Classic, Sacramento's answer to the NBA lockout charity games sweeping the nation, will be held on November 20 at UC Davis. Donte Greene has led the charge. (Who feels like a jerk for leaving him off of the Top 50 now, huh?) Also expected to attend: Tyreke Evans, DeMarcus Cousins, Jason Thompson, J.J. Hickson, Isaiah Thomas, John Wall, Jonny Flynn, Hassan Whiteside and more.

Stay tuned for more info. Let's all hope the lockout ends ASAP and there are real live NBA games to attend by Nov. 20. If not, it's good to know pro basketball players will be ready to entertain and raise money for a good cause.

UPDATE: Darnell Jackson is in, too. They are working on Jimmer Fredette.

I just saw Jimmer roll up to the BYU athletic buildings to practice

with the BYU Basketball team. I was going to go ask him if would play in the GSC, but I was getting picked right then. Next time, Next time I promise I will ask.

It would be awesome if Donte could use some of his connections to get some BIG names to the GSC

LIke the Syracuse connection with Melo.

And if I recall correctly, Donte played with LeBron and Chris Paul in the Philly game earlier. Maybe he could recruit them.

Kings vs the rest of the league.
