Usain Bolt likes to play/is not good at playing basketball (VIDEO)

On Thursday, the NBA announced the participants in the Sprint NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, which is that contest on Friday night that absolutely nobody watches because it’s one of two days in the regular season that we get to take a break from NBA basketball. It’s typically a borderline unwatchable affair filled with bad jokes and bad basketball, even though this year’s roster is rife with unintentional comedy potential. I mean, look at this lineup:

Usain Bolt is also on the roster. The Jamaican sprinter and six-time gold medalist would seem to be a fascinating and compelling watch, something we were denied in 1984 when the Chicago Bulls drafted but did not sign the legendary runner Carl Lewis. The world’s fastest human playing a sport predicated on speed and athleticism. Dribbling around Ne-Yo, even.

And then, early on Friday, The Basketball Jones’ Trey Kerby had to go and ruin the whole image for us. Watch Usain Bolt stink up the court shooting around after a German playoff game in 2012. Watch:

That was a year ago. Hopefully he’s learned how to not shoot three-pointers toward the top of the glass and miss dunks by now.

In case you were wondering, Usain Bolt is also not a very good driver. From BBC’s Top Gear:

And here’s a shot of Usain Bolt with the 2008 Boston Celtics.

Game’s in a week, Usain, please practice. And put on some pants, Kendrick Perkins.
