    Why do they always put "Bow Wow" in these games? He is a horrible ball player.

    Do people actually watch these?

    It's softer than wnba but has twice the commercial breaks of an nba game on abc. And if i wanted to see celebrities playing basketball ( I don't) I'd want them to be good, too.

    Why no Vince Young?

    Maybe he is Yao's replacement for the real all-star game

    Carrot top has no business being on a basketball court. He can't really do much comedy with only a basketball as a prop... unless....

    anyways.. I don't know half of these people, am I getting too old?

    Reggie looks like he'll steamroll through these skinny chumps
