according to http://www.manhunt.com/news/stories/1107988397.html :


Hip-hop superstar Nelly, singer Ryan Cabrera, multi-talented actor/rap artist Ice Cube, star of the box office hit "Are We There Yet," along with TV stars Danny Masterson of "That '70s Show" and Donald Faison of "Scrubs" will join NBA and WNBA players for the McDonald's NBA All- Star Celebrity Game presented by Sprite as part of NBA All-Star 2005 in Denver. The game will be televised live on ESPN on Friday, February 18 at 7:00 pm (ET) from NBA All-Star Jam Session.

Halftime of the game will feature a special musical performance by 18-year-old R&B sensation Ciara.

Other celebrity participants include Sugar Ray front man and host of "Extra" Mark McGrath, music producer, artist and record executive Jermaine Dupri, Grammy Award-winning artist Brian McKnight, professional skateboarder Eric Koston, "Entertainment Tonight" weekend anchor and correspondent Kevin Frazier, "Blind Date" host Rodger Lodge, along with WNBA players Lisa Leslie, Diana Taurasi, Becky Hammon and Nykesha Sales. NBA players Andre Miller and Earl Boykins will serve as the team's head coaches. ESPN studio analysts Greg Anthony and Stephen A. Smith will act as General Managers.

ESPN's commentator lineup of Stuart Scott, Mark Jones, Tim Legler, Tom Tolbert, Bill Walton and Jim Gray will contribute to the telecast.

Reebok, the exclusive uniform supplier of the NBA, will introduce a new line of NBA swingman jerseys as they outfit the celebrities for the game. The home team will wear white "Denver" jerseys while the away team will wear light blue "Nuggets" jerseys with the team letters featuring an argyle design. The argyle jerseys are part of Reebok's exclusive edition collection and will only be available at the NBA Store at NBA All-Star Jam Session, the NBA Store on Fifth Avenue in New York City and select Finish Line locations.

Title sponsor McDonald's and presenting sponsor Sprite will also participate in a number of NBA All-Star activities throughout the weekend.

WOW!! �i of course won't make it. �the tickets ARE stoopid expensive, if there are even any left. �while i was just searching online, i saw where the jesus-level seats are going for $810 a pair. �(and the jesus seats at the pepsi center are NOT fun!) �i also saw a pair for $4,500 on ebay. �geez.  

not that this has anything to do with the thread, but i wouldn't get tickets on ebay if they were FREE.  you should see what the u2 ones are going for.  and there's already reports coming out of bogus ones for the u2 tour on ebay.  eek.  can you imagine dropping $400 for some tickets and getting to the place and not even being able to get IN??

i could have paid RENT with what i paid for my u2 tix.  i'm not kidding.  but i'm taking my sister for her birthday and i'm thinking of it as a once-in-a-lifetime thing.  the most i ever paid before was $100 for two red rocks tix to see the goo's.

i have the world's SHORTEST attention span and i am usually completely and totally bored with ANY sporting event by the end of the first quarter/whatever.  and the one rockies game i went to got so rained on i swore i was drowning.   :P

Come on, doesn't everyone have $44,000 to spend on tickets to a basketball game?   ;)

And The Slave Girl, you won't regret the U2 tickets.  I went to their last show through Buffalo and it was like a religious experience.  I didn't regret the $120 or whatever I paid for the ticket (and at the time I was an 11th grader with zero income)

yeah...sorry about "red rocks"...i have my colorado mentality and think everyone's gonna know where/what i mean!  that's a venue here, where the goo's played with vanessa carlton and third eye blind.  it's a wicked cool ampitheater, outdoors and all.

i am stoopid stoked about the u2 show.  i'm a sucker for the fact that there's a lot of buzz about this tour and the shows sold out so quick.  BUT...they are legends.  i have wanted to see them for as long as i can remember.  i keep thinking of songs of theirs that i've loved forever and i get all goosebumpy thinking about seeing them perform.  i so think it will be worth it and i'm already trying to decide what to wear!!

p.s.  i don't think goosebumpy is ACTUALLY a word.

Oh psh I feel like a dumbass now. Hahaha. See, I have the same problem...new England mentality. Any word that resembles Red Sox, Schilling, or World Series gets me stoked.

Sheesh, I paid $75 just to see the Goos play ONE song at the NHL all-star game when they performed here.  Shelled that out for the show with Bon Jovi too.  Then again, I just spent $110 on my NYE ticket to see the Pat McGee Band...but that included dinner and an open bar as well.  I'm not one to pay more than $35-$40 for a ticket unless it's someone very near and dear to my heart (like the Goos or PMB of course).  I don't need to see some of these bands that bad.
