NBA fans have mixed emotions
Published by The Cavalier September 8th, 2005 in Charity
A whole slew of NBA stars are playing a charity game Sunday night in Houston, which will be broadcast on TNT. The circumstances (a big freaking hurricane if you’re not paying attention) are too horrible even for us, but we have to admit we can’t wait for the game.
All-Stars LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Amare Stoudemire and Dwyane Wade will play in an NBA Players Hurricane Relief Game organized by TNT analyst Kenny Smith.
The game is Sunday at 6 p.m. EDT at the Toyota Center and will be televised by TNT at 11 p.m. Participating players will donate funds and supplies valued at more than $1 million for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Others planning to participate are former NBA All-Star forwards Charles Oakley and Derrick Coleman, Indiana Pacers forwards Ron Artest and Jermaine O’Neal, Pistons guard Chauncey Billups, New York Knicks guard Stephon Marbury, Boston Celtics swingman Paul Pierce, Miami Heat center Alonzo Mourning and Memphis Grizzlies guard Dahntay Jones.
Wait. Derrick Coleman and Charles Oakley? No, no, no - we promised ourselves “no jokes in the Katrina post”. With that, big props to Kenny and the TNT crew, continued best wishes to those suffering, and Derrick Coleman is fat.
That’s not a joke, by the way - that’s factual information.
