We look at it kind of like how the USA team had Chris Paul and Deron Williams, two point guards on the court

I think just the athleticism and the level of talent he's going to see night in and night out -- that's going to be different, especially at that position, especially in the West ... I don't think he's (been) in situations where he's faced a Chris Paul one night, then [Deron] Williams the next night, Baron Davis the next night. From that standpoint, it's going to be a learning curve for him.
Just match it up ... I'll let everybody else be the judge of it. Just match it up ... We played against the best back then. Not taking away anything from Deron Williams' and Dee Brown's team, but we created havoc all day.
This will be a terrific way to permanently recognize some of the greatest players in Fighting Illini history
I think the '05 guys are in a little better shape then the '89 guys, so we're probably going to have to (mix) them together ... But I'm sure that would be a nice moment to have, the '05 and '89 guys on the same court at the same time going against each other. I'm not sure (the '89 team) could keep up with (the '05 team) real well right now, but it would still be a great picture moment.
