When Generation takes on Air Force 1 during the Divorce Special tonight, we have a new key matchup to watch out for: Dan Solomito vs. Jason Burke. After Solomito burst onto the scene earlier this year, for whatever the reason, the reigning NRF MVP took offense. So in a Week 4 meeting between the two (when Solomito was on Dunk and Burke was on Shox), you could say the showdown was highly anticipated. The result? Solomito finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds while Burke finished with 27 points and 12 rebounds. The comparisons stopped.
But now a trade has thrown the two back in the ring, and at least one person is sticking around the watch. "I was supposed to fly out tonight for work," says Paul Rivera, "but I pushed my flight back until tomorrow morning. I wouldn't miss this game for the world."
"Didn't Burke already destroy him?" says Kashif Pratt. "The question is, will Dan Solomito even show up."
While one inside source claims that Solomito will be present and accounted for, it will be interesting to see how he plays in his first game back in weeks, and playing for a new team.
