A fast break probably won't be much of an issue for Usain Bolt when the six-time Olympic gold-medal sprinter trades in his spikes for sneakers in the 2013 Sprint NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. The 2013 Sprint NBA All-Star Celebrity Game is a chance for luminaries from the entertainment world to mix with athletes past and present. The game, which takes place in Houston on Feb. 15 at 7 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on ESPN and WatchESPN.com

NBA All-Stars James Harden of the host Houston Rockets and Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder will serve as the West and East team coaches, respectively.

This year's rosters include celebrities from film, TV, and music. Reigning 2012 Sprint NBA All-Star Celebrity Game MVP Kevin Hart ("Real Husbands of Hollywood"), will look to defend his title alongside stars like:

Might aswell make a new thread for this and All Star Weekend on the whole. People who don't even watch NBA may be interested or something. This is usually a good laugh and a nice warm up for the Rookie/Sophomore game after it.

You should replace 'Peeta from the THG' to Josh Hutcherson
Hes more famous than most of these people & It's an insult to his career to call him that

1. More people would know him as Peeta..

2. He's in the lower half of the celebs if anything.

3. No one knows him outside THG really, so...

1. "Peeta from THG" is 14 characters, whereas 'Josh Hutcherson' is 15 characters, hardly too long.. Barely too long.

2. More people don't know him as Peeta.. More people know him as Josh Hutcherson, where did you get that from?? Hes very well known for The Bridge to Terabithia..

3. Rofl, no he is not. He is an A-lister, barely anyone from that is, hes a holy wood superstar, and has starred in 2 of the biggest 80 films WW.

4. Yes they do.. Bridge to Terabithia hes probably recognised more from than The Hunger Games... Little Manhattan/ The Kids Are Alright hes widely recognised for aswell.

Josh Hutcherson is probably one of the most famous imo.

I knew of him way before HG too.

[Legend killer]

Terrible as usual I hate the celeb all star game. Stern should go old school and do a knockout style 1v1 first to 11 tourney with the ten best players from each conference

[Shaun]

I thought him playing basketball in the Kids Are All Right was odd. Must be a hobby.

Yeah, because the players of this generation would be willing to risk their rep and participate. Star players don't even do the Dunk Contest

[Legend killer]

The whole all star weekend sucks in general TBH the all star game is just a joke with every player outside Kobe treating it as a bloody game in the park. Yes it's great watching all the dunks but the East especially just stand there playing zero defence what the **** is the point in that

It's not a proper game. It's cool to watch to see some of the insane plays, alley oops, dunks etc. This dunk contest could be the best for a long long while with Gerald Green and James White.

[Legend killer]

Yeah White going to own that ****

[Legend killer]

The only thing I have taken out of the All Star game is Bron Jordan and Wade being the only players to get triple doubles in it could not care less bout the ****e MVP award

[Locke.]

Too scared to invite the King to play I see

[Brother Leon]

On now.


Bolt,Trey,Ne-Yo and Hutcherson on team East.
