Baller! Usain Bolt to Play in NBA Celebrity All-Star Game


Remember all those times when your high school track coach was against you playing basketball with fears that you may get injured in a pick-up game? Well, Usain Bolt is doing the opposite as the NBA announced their Sprint All-Star Celebrity Game lineup. 

The Olympic world record holder will be joined by fellow celebrities like comedian Kevin Hart (last year's Most Valuable Player), Nick Cannon, Queen Latifah, and several other entertainment stars. 

How much playing time will he get? Well, that all depends on how much coached Russell Westbrook or James Harden want to utilize his speed on the floor. 

But in all seriousness, much like all of the NBA's All-Star weekend it is all about having fun. If there is an injury to Bolt, things could get crazy on the court.

Bolt has his eyes set on this summer's IAAF World Championships in Moscow and has set the bar high with talks of wanting to try sub-19 for the 200-meter dash, back in January. He will be working toward that goal in the coming months and has already announced he will race at the Bislett Games in June. 

To prepare yourself for Bolt playing basketball, here's a clip of him dunking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUM6C2u_z3E
