Justin Bieber, Basketball Star? Teen Sensation to Play in 2011 NBA All-Star Game

By Rebecca Macatee Posted Feb 1st 2011 08:48PM

Justin Bieber might be an inch shy of five-and-a-half feet, but that doesn't shop this shorty from getting his game on! The teen sensation has been selected to shoot some hoops in this year's NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.

The 16-year-old will join several celebrities on Feb. 18 for a battle on the court, including comedian Jimmy Kimmel, 'Modern Family's' Ty Burrell, Rob Kardashian, Jason Alexander and rapper Common. NBA legends like Scottie Pippen, Bill Walton, Chris Mullin and B.J. Armstrong will also be playing amongst the Hollywood stars.

We're sure the Biebs is psyched to show off his athletic prowess. The Canadian-born crooner grew up playing hockey, soccer, baseball, and yes, basketball! We know he's got game off the court with his devoted fans, but does the pop star have what it takes to score?

The celebrity tournament takes place one week after the release of Justin's 3-D film 'Never Say Never.' In typical teenage speak, Justin told late night host David Letterman just he much he like really 'likes' his new movie.

Check out the future all-star's interview after the break.

This kid is an example of a Tigriss mother and he wouldn't be anywhere without facebook. I went to Carnegie-Mellon University amd was a music major and I have more talent in my tiny finger then he'll ever have. I think Justin Bieber is an illusion in a virtual world followed by mindless idiots. - Katie

Whenever I see his eyebrows I cringe.

By themeeker

Every hair on her body is stupid. Of course eyebrows and head hair are all the hair the little Beeber girl has. It doesn't grow anywhere else when you've got no testosterone.

You know Meeker, Freud would say you have a crush on the boy.

Freud would be wrong.

Actually I believe you Katie. The kid is nothing more than a pretty boy. I see he has a movie out now. I bet that will be an Academy Award contender...

By ajschrod

It's been tried before--using little guys because big clumsy basketball players can't defend their ball handling, but is Justin THAT athletic?

By rozdr

yes he is.. kinda. i know he grew up playing hockey, but he's good at soccer, skateboarding, and bball too.. at least he shot in a half-court shot caught on vid for his mtv diary from last march

The first sign of Bieber fever is the inability to know when the wool has been pulled over your eyes . That and shrinking testicles .
