The NBA All-Star Celebrity Game

Wow..... They couldn't find a single A-list celebrity to show up?  They are in Orlando- why not run out Mickey and Daffy flipping Duck.  The list of celebrities is pathetic.  Arne Duncan shouldn't be the most recognizable name- and data indicates that he is not effective enough in analyzing his data reports.  Anyway, now that my obligatory teaching rant is out of the way, lets analyze the rosters:
Featured Members of the Celebrity teams:

Ne-Yo (R&B/pop) [who?]

Common (Just Wright) [should be known for Hell on Wheels]

J.B. Smoove (Curb Your Enthusiasm) [they couldn't get Larry David? though J.B. Smoove is hilarious, as are his missed lay-ups]

Vinny Guadagnino (Jersey Shore) [the 3rd billing?  really?]

Kevin Hart (Laugh At My Pain) [always nice to replace Justin Bieber with another short person who people find annoying]

Javier Colon (The Voice) [this is a TV show, I assume]

Drew and Jonathan Scott (Property Brothers) [the voice from House Hunters would have been better]

Jesse Williams (Grey's Anatomy) [similar to the Jersey Shore, does anyone watch this show anymore?  I never watched either, and I feel 27.8% better about myself]

Penny Hardaway (four-time NBA All-Star) [I guess little penny wasn't available]

Nick Anderson (NBA legend) [a legend?  At missing key free throws?]

Tamika Catchings (WNBA, Indiana Fever) [can't miss a chance to hype the WNBA]

Doug Gottlieb (ESPN, The Doug Gottlieb Show) [taking this game far to seriously]

Thankfully, Mitch Richmond, Chris Mullin and Tim Hardaway showed up-- on a sad note Mitch Richmond has become so fat he had to wear a t-shirt under his jersey- much like I did when I played YMCA basketball in the third grade.  

Stay tuned for more All-Star weekend reporting & judgement live from Brooklyn.
