Three members of the Boston Celtics will be making there way down to Dallas to play in what is expected to be the biggest All-Star game in the NBA's history. Set in Jerry Jones brand new, state of the art stadium (also home to the Dallas Cowboys), Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Rajon Rando will show off there skills in front of what is to be a crowd of 90,000+ fans. Garnett, making his 13th All-Star appearance, is the only Celtic voted into a starting spot with Rondo and Pierce coming off the bench. Even though Garnett's numbers are down this year from previous years, he is still a fan favorite. Starting along Garnett will be Dwayne Wade (Miami Heat), Allen Iverson (Philadelphia 76ers), Dwight Howard (Orlando Magic), and Lebron James (Cleveland Cavaliers). All-Star weekend is February 12th-14th with the actual game being on Valentine's Day, starting at 8pm.
Paul Pierce made the cut for the 3 Point Shoot-out and is one of the headliners in the event. He is shooting .456 from beyond the arc this season (78-171) and has a good chance of taking home the trophy.
