The hijinks were fairly low-wattage on the first night of the NBA's All-Star Weekend— the Rising Stars game saw Kenneth Faried score 40 points on 18 of 22 shooting and Kyrie Irving do this to Brandon Knight, while United States Secretary of Education Arne Duncan scored 11 points in the celebrity game (six less than last year)—but one of the notable stories going into the evening paid off: Usain Bolt, best sprinter ever, participated in the celebrity game and played like a sprinter.
If it's not surprising that a 6-5 guy who's also one of the best athletes on the planet can dunk, it's even less surprising that he takes a four step running start to get there. He probably takes a running start to open his refrigerator. Still, if NBA GMs are looking for a guy who will break rules fast, Bolt is worth a look.
