This year the NBA All-Star game will be at the GRB on February 17, and for only $10 you can go and stargaze:
In years past, the game has featured celebrities such as Sean P. Diddy Combs, Ashton Kutcher, Paris Hilton, Vivica A. Fox, Wilmer Valderrama, Nelly and Frankie Muniz.
The roster for this year’s NBA All-Star Celebrity Game will be released in February.
Eh, let’s hope the caliber of celebrity improves.
UPDATE: On a related note, here’s a story out of HISD:
The National Basketball Association is dunking $250,000 into an HISD school.
During its December meeting, the HISD Board of Education unanimously approved the acceptance of a $250,000 donation from the NBA for renovations at McDade Elementary School (5815 Hirsch, 77026).
Thanks to the NBA’s generous grant, students at McDade Elementary will be able to read and learn in a library equipped with a new technology center, and play in their school’s new indoor physical education classroom and outdoor recreational area–the latter of which will feature a brand new basketball court after the renovations are complete.
The project, championed by the Houston Rockets, will be highlighted during the nationally televised NBA All-Star Week in February.
That’s terrific, but please, please don’t let Paris Hilton go anywhere near that elementary school.
