Basketball fans around the world will have their eyes glued to the festivities in New York City on February 13-15 as the 2015 NBA All-Star Weekend comes to the Mecca of Basketball.

The fun starts Friday, February 13 with the Sprint NBA All-Star Celebrity Game at the Madison Square Garden, which will be airing live on ESPN at 7 pm ET.

Comedian Kevin Hart takes his antics yet again on an NBA court, and will be joined by other celebrities like Common, Nick Cannon, and Chadwick Boseman. Former NBA all-stars Allan Houston and Chris Mullin also join the fray along with Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera, and WNBA star Skylar Diggins, among others.

At 9 pm ET, the league's best young stars take center stage at the 2015 BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge. The game will be debuting a new format this year, with ten rookies and sophomores from the United States pitted against the best first and second year players from around the world.

2014 NBA Draft top overall pick Andrew Wiggins from Canada leads the World Team, while reigning Rookie of the Year spearheads the U.S. Team.

The game is set at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and will be televised by TNT at 9 pm.

The weekend festivities carry on Saturday, February 14 with the Degree Shooting Stars. Four teams compete to make shots from specific spots on the court to close out the event.
