All Star Ballers: Celebs Who Could Play in the NBA

We're picking our dream teams for All-Star Weekend.

Gabrielle Union - NBA All-Star weekend is here and we've got first round draft picks of celebs we want on Team BET.  Our list of stars who could play in the NBA starts with non-other than Gabrielle Union. The Being Mary Jane star is not only a clutch player off the court, we're sure her hubby-to-be Dwyane Wade has taught her plenty of his moves over the years.

Danai Gurira - As Michonne on The Walking Dead, Gurira has trained for some intense life-or-death scenarios. A little on-court battle should be nothing for this zombie hunter. (Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)

2 Chainz - At 6'5", this Georgia native can go toe-to-toe — or, eye-to-eye — with almost any professional baller. He was even a standout on his high school basketball team and got a full athletic scholarship to Alabama State University. (Photo: Rick Diamond/BET/Getty Images for BET)

Slim Thug (Swishahouse to Interscope) - After beginning his career with his hometown Houston-based label Swishahouse, Slim Thug made the switch to Star Trak/Geffen/Interscope for his debut, Already Platinum. The album included production from The Neptunes and singles like "3 Kings" and "Like a Boss." Following the album, he made the switch to E1. (Photo: Brad Barket/PictureGroup)

Slim Thug - This Houston rapper took "Hoopin'" to the next level when he launched an all-out Twitter campaign to lure free agent Dwight Howard to the Rockets, plying him with cash, booze and strippers. We'd love to see the tall-and-lean rap star put his money where his mouth is on our All-Star team! (Photo: Brad Barket/PictureGroup)

Jason Collins - By being the first pro athlete to come out while still being in the game, Jason Collins became an even bigger name and allowed for people like Michael Sam to be comfortable enough to come out as well.  (Photo: Eric McCandless/AP Photo)

Jason Collins - Jason Collins, who made history in the NBA by revealing he is gay, may no longer sport a jersey, but he still has his talent. Plus, we can't think of a better role model! (Photo: ABC, Eric McCandless/AP Photo)

Wendy Williams - Williams has challenged many a celebrity to some one-on-one in her studio, but the talk show queen can put her 5'11" frame (6'5" if you count her Louboutins) to great use on the court.  (Photo: The Wendy Williams Show)

RuPaul - Height? Check. Skills? Check. Attitude? Double check. The fashion icon should have no trouble taking his signature flair from the runway to the court. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Getty Images)

Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps - These two were so convincing as college athletes-turned-professional hoops stars in Love & Basketball (one of our fave baskbetball movies of all time), that we'd love to see them recreate the magic during All-Star Weekend. (Photo: Courtesy of New Line Cinema)

Kevin Hart - If the best defense is a good offense, then no six-foot-something athlete could be a match for Kev Hart's "make 'em laugh" plays. All he has to do is crack a few jokes, wait for his opponent to double over with laughter and steal the ball right out of his hand. (Photo: NBC)

Master P - The world knows him as a world famous rapper and successful entrepreneur, but P. Miller was the ultimate multi-tasker in the late 1990s when he simultaneously played professional ball. Miller was signed to the Charlotte Hornets and the Toronto Raptors during his short-lived NBA career. We'd like to draft this All-Star Weekend veteran back! (Photo: Converse)

Spike Lee - Lee is as well known a filmmaker as he is a courtside trash talker. The Do the Right Thing director has a permanent parking spot at Madison Square Garden and is often more vocal than the referees during New York Knicks games. Maybe it's time he put his skills where his mouth is? (Photo: Al Bello/Getty Images)
