I fully expect a windmill from Usain Bolt.

[Majingir]

^And he's so fast, he'll have to wind up the dunk before he even jumps.

Celeb game then rising stars game tonight!

This was one of best moments from celebrity game last year:




Best moment was when Dwight Howard was trying to pump up Kevin Hart

[JerzeyReign]

Am I the only one watching the HOF news conference?

Pretty safe bet to say Gary Payton will get in.

[d11king]

I expect Team Chuck to get mopped tonight. Is it me or does Charles always choose terrible teams.

[ex carrabba fan]

Wait what, Irving and George are in the 3 point contest? No Korver or Reddick? Not that it matters but I thought those were interesting picks.
