A lot of people have wondered how Usain Bolt’s insane athleticism would translate to other sports such as football or basketball. Well, we will find out during All-Star Weekend, as Bolt will be one of a handful of celebrities participating in the 2013 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Feb. 15 at Sprint Arena.

Usain Bolt and Arne Duncan are two of the noteworthy participants in the 2013 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. Comedian Kevin Hart will also be back to defend his MVP from last year’s event.

Joining Bolt are some familiar names, including U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. Duncan dominated last year's celebrity game, scoring 17 points and pulling down eight rebounds and surely making President Barack Obama jealous. However, he lost out on the MVP award to Nate Robinson look-alike Kevin Hart, who will be returning this year to defend his crown.
Four former NBA players will be participating in the game, including ex-Spurs Sean Elliott and Bruce Bowen. Clyde "The Glide" Drexler will also be playing, and so will shot-blocking extraordinaire and current TV commercial star Dikembe Mutombo.
Coaching the two teams will be NBA All-Stars James Harden and Russell Westbrook, and one can only imagine the funky attire they will be sporting on the sidelines for this one. Queen Latifah and Samantha Harris will be the assistant coaches.
The game is at 7 p.m. ET and will be televised on ESPN. Here are the rest of the participants via NBA.com:
