Shooting Stars is always the least anticipated event on Saturday night, and this year's structure is even more confusing than usual. Instead of opting for city-based teams, as has typically been the case, the NBA has decided to create the three-person team of NBA player, NBA legend, and WNBA player seemingly at random.
Each conference will have two teams. The East's "Team Lopez" features Brooklyn Nets All-Star Brook Lopez, the diminutive Muggsy Bogues, and Indiana Fever star Tamika Catchings. "Team Bosh" boasts Miami Heat All-Star Chris Bosh, Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins, and Swin Cash of the Chicago Sky. The West counters with "Team Harden," which features Houston Rockets All-Star James Harden, Washington Wizards assistant coach and former NBA vet Sam Cassell, and all-time WNBA leading scorer Tina Thompson of the Seattle Storm.
