Flash Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh haven't played together since the last game of the NBA Finals, and with the lockout in full effect we weren't sure when it would happen again. That's about to change. The trio is expected to announce plan for a charity All-Star game at FIU on October 8. And, oh yeah, Rick Ross is coaching one of the teams. An official announcement is expected tomorrow, but ESPN reports the game will be dubbed "The South Florida All-Star Classic." Money raised will benefit South Florida children's charities. So who's coming? Just about everyone: A number of NBA players are slated to join the Miami trio on the court, including fellow Heat teammate Mario Chalmers, the Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, the New York Knicks' Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, the New Orleans Hornets' Chris Paul, the Washington Wizards' John Wall, the Atlanta Hawks' Jamal Crawford, the Houston Rockets' Jonny Flynn, the Los Angeles Clippers' Eric Bledsoe, the Dallas Mavericks' Caron Butler, the Memphis Grizzlies' Rudy Gay, the Boston Celtics' Rajon Rondo, the Philadelphia 76ers' Lou Williams, the Golden State Warriors' Dorell Wright, the Portland Trail Blazers' Wesley Matthews and free agent Eddy Curry. Cleveland Cavaliers first-round picks Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson also are possible participants in the game. http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/2011/09/wade_james_and_bosh_to_host_ch.php I'm doing whatever I can to get some seats courtside but i'll honestly sit anywhere to watch this game.

SRV Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Finally, going to FIU has its benefits. I wish I knew how to get the tickets though. Gonna be a lot of competition for it, only like 5,000 seats in the arena. I hope to God that students get first priority.

Flash Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I have one girl that works at FIU sending me anything she gets from the University about the event and I talked to a friend of mine who happens to be extremely tight w/ D-Wade so hopefully I can get something done lol.

Flash Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Got my tickets! I'll be sitting center court row 6 for the game. All lower bowl seats were $100 so I was there form 1AM last night to make sure I got the best available. I was 22nd in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Well, I was not even aware that the tickets were on sale. Damn me. Scratch that, I knew they were on sale because there were more people at the fieldhouse than usual. Edited October 3, 2011 by SRV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
