Dwight, LeBron Will Coach Rookie-Sophomore Game

[Spurs Brazil]

Dwight Howard and LeBron James have been asked by the NBA to coach the rookie-sophomore game during February's All-Star festivities.

The exhibition will be held on Friday night, the beginning of All-Star Weekend.

"That should be cool, a lot of fun," Howard said.

:tu to the NBA for this idea

[sonic21]

nice idea

[JamStone]

Better idea would be to also add celebrity coaches like Megan Fox and Megan Good.

[Thunder Dan]

That will be a full sweep for Cavs coaching games during the break

Maybe Lebron can teach the youngs the crab dribble.....

All-Star Weekend is about the fans and the money. It's one of the league's showcases to try to grab some ratings and make the sponsers happy. Dwight and LeBron do that.

I do think it's cool to have them part of the coaching. They both have great talent and I think they'll have the respect of the Rookie/Soph's.

I would have to agree

[tlongII]

Should be fun. We should be represented with Oden, Rudy, and maybe Nicolas.

Personally for any other professional athletes like Reggie Bush, They should stay the fuck away from this game.

How about TD and Tmac?

[jack sommerset]

Way to much Lebron. I like the idea but not him. Lots of other players to choose from. You have his commericials,Saturday Night Live, Espys etc.... The league does have other players that are entertaining.

I'd rather have veterans rather than a couple young guns.

It would have been more beneficial to the young players if Duncan was there.

[mavs>spurs2]

Pretty smart move from a marketing perspective, might create more of a buzz about an otherwise somewhat boring event

[ManuTP9]

this ALL Star Weekend is going to be great

[bdictjames]

I'd say they could've let Kidd or Nash coach.

Sub Megan Fox for Gabrielle Union.

[urunobili]

I hope G.Hill makes the rook/soph game!
