Per Wiretap LeBron and Dwight Howard to coach

Man this is going to be hilarious if this is true. It'll probably get a ton of viewers just because of them. I know I'll be tuning in to see it.

Yep, I believe the only reason why they are coaching is because they want more ratings. I wonder who will be coaching who.

Heat's young stars waiting to hear All-Star weekend's call


Posted Jan 27 2009 7:04AM

MIAMI (AP) -- Heat guard Daequan Cook wants to play against Dwyane Wade. For one night, anyway.



Cook is one of three players inside the Miami Heat locker room waiting to hear if they're heading to All-Star weekend in Phoenix as participants in the rookie challenge, a game pitting some of the best first-year players against the league's top sophomore talent.

Michael Beasley, the No. 2 pick in last year's draft, seems like a strong choice to be there, and Miami starting point guard Mario Chalmers might have a shot at joining him on the rookie squad.

If so, they'll be coached by Wade, who'll match wits against sophomore team coach Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic.

"Dwyane already does enough coaching here," said Cook, who would play on Howard's team if selected. "In a live game, I don't know where his coaching skills are at."
