PHOTO: Oregon Hosts Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James During Saturday’s Game

There's no NBA season right now (thank you very much, lockout), so what does that leave four of the biggest NBA stars to do on a November weekend? Be recruited by the Oregon Ducks and the USC Trojans, of course! OK, OK, there might be some NCAA rules violation if that was actually taking place (there's probably thousands of pages to the NCAA rulebook, you expect me to read them all?).

Below you can see the four NBA stars who wanted to take part in one of the high-profile games this season.
