NBA All-Star weekend is a month away and while the rosters of the actual All-Star game haven’t been finalized yet, two of the most important rosters of the weekend are coming together: The Celebrity All-Star game. The game will be played between Team Canada and Team USA, headed by Drake and Kevin Hart respectively.
Here’s the lineup for each team, ranked on how interested we are to see each person play:
Team Drake, which will probably win because it’s lineup of retired NBA players, a WNBA player and a professional baseball player.

After hanging around the Raptors and Kentucky and other pro and college games for so long, can Drake actually coach? Will he diagram plays? Has he put a lot of effort into recruiting the best celebrity talent out there?
2. Steve Nash

Does the former point guard have his game back after a bit of time off? What has he learned from Steph Curry? Will he just play soccer on the sidelines instead? And how’s his hair going to look?

Does he still have game?

For reasons similar to Nash — will he have one of those amazing vintage McGrady games? Or has he been spending too much time on the baseball diamond?
Also on the roster: Arcade Fire’s Win Butler (who has SB Nation points out has an impressive 3-point shot), tennis player Milos Raonic, actor Kris Wu, actor Stephan James and Natalie Achonwa of the WNBA’s Indiana Fever.
Team Hart also has some potential — though we’d just give the ball to Elena Delle Donne the whole time. Our rankings, according to people we’re most interested to watch:

Will the WNBA MVP take over the entire game and just embarrass everyone? We’re guessing yes, and it will be completely entertaining to watch.
2. Michael B. Jordan

The NBA public relations team mentions he’s from Creed and he’s been in a long list of movies and shows, but I will always think of him as Vince from Friday Night Lights, which means he has amazing speed and court vision and should dominate the game if we all accept television as a complete and accurate portrayal of reality. Also his name is Michael Jordan.

It doesn’t matter how old he is, he’s still Muggsy Bogues.

This is a chance for the Empire star to boost his celebrity status to another level.
5. Chauncey Billups

He retired less than two years ago after 17 seasons in the NBA.
Also on the roster: Jason Sudeikis, Anthony Anders from ABC’s “blackish”, Nick Cannon and Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry.
