The Heat put on dumb costumes and do karaoke for Shane Battier’s charity

The Miami Heat seem like a pretty good team to play for.

Shane Battier has an annual charity event for his Take Charge Foundation -- neat job, naming your charity organization after the thing you do in basketball, Shane -- which raises money to help educate Miami-area kids. This event is called “Battioke.” It features the Miami Heat doing karaoke. You have to watch the trailer Shane cut for it:

Whether or not you find Shane annoying on the court, he's lovably goofy off of it, and never more so than here, when he's wearing a frilly jacket going through his daily warmup and sexily posing after taking a charge. But of course, he's not the star of the video. The Heat's stars are:
