The greatest thing in the history of sports' all star competitions is about to happen. It's on the level of Josh Hamilton crushing almost 30 home runs in a round of the Home Run Derby. It's on the level of Alex Ovechkin wearing a hat with a Canadian flag, bouncing the puck on the stick in mid-air, and scoring in the NHL All Star Skills Competition.

... sat Duncan and Parker yesterday? This isn't baseball! Steve Luhm didn't think too highly of it either.
Apparently Fes and Collins are Rockband fans.

You may have heard that TNT has added H-O-R-S-E…. I mean G-E-I-C-O to its All-Star programming lineup that will air live during TNT’s two-hour Inside the NBA from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET on Sat., Feb. 14.
Participants for the event have yet to be announced but may I suggest Gilbert Arenas for consideration.
Some reasons for his nomination:
Gilbert is a former All-Star and a fan favorite. Who wants to see a no name 12th man playing?
Gilbert may be too injured to play in a game but he’s not too injured to be able to shoot ...
