The 2011 NBA All-Star weekend kicks off in full force today. There are two games at Staples Center today, culminating in the T-Mobile Rookie Challenge, which pits first-year players against second-year players. Because Blake Griffin of the co-host Los Angeles Clippers was injured and missed all of last season, this is technically his rookie year, which puts him on the first-year team and gives them two consecutive No. 1 overall picks, with John Wall of the Washington Wizards. This begins a whirlwind weekend for Griffin, who is competing in three events in three days this weekend.

Here are the details of tonight's rookie challenge:
