The NBA All-Star Game is always fun, and there are always a lot of people who watch it on television. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to play this game in the middle of a lockout-shortened season, but here we are at All-Star Weekend. Some All-Stars played intense, competitive games on Thursday, and many of them will resume competitive games on Tuesday.

NBA All-Star coverage starts 90 minutes before the game tips off on TNT.
Will that affect the pace and competitiveness of the game, relative to past All-Star games? It’s possible, sure, but it’s more likely that there’s just even less defense than there usually is in All-Star games. This probably means even more showtime dunks, and that probably isn’t a bad thing.
Here are the complete rosters for the game. There are six first-time participants, with one of those first timers, Andrew Bynum, getting in as a starter. TNT's pregame coverage starts at 6:00 p.m. ET.
Game Date/Time: Sunday, Feb. 26, 7:30 p.m. ET
