NBA, WNBA stars to play 'Wheel of Fortune' for aid
Associated Press

A handful of professional basketball players are going to spin the Wheel of Fortune to raise money for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Carmelo Anthony of Denver, Ray Allen of Seattle, Baron Davis of Golden State and Luke Walton of the Los Angeles Lakers are among 15 NBA and WNBA players teaming up with the television game show "Wheel of Fortune." The players will tape shows Thursday for the game show's NBA week, airing Oct. 31-Nov. 4.

Each player will be partnered with a fan from their team's city, and the fans will play for cash and NBA-themed prizes.

The players will compete for their favorite charities and for the Red Cross, with a minimum of $100,000 of their winnings going to help Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

The contestant from the team with the week's highest total winnings will win a trip to the 2006 NBA All-Star game in Houston.

Other NBA stars scheduled to play are: Amare Stoudemire of Phoenix, Richard Hamilton of Detroit, Mike Bibby of Sacramento, Emeka Okafor of Charlotte, Ben Gordon of Chicago, Robert Horry of San Antonio, Richard Jefferson of New Jersey, and Bobby Simmons of Milwaukee.

Becky Hammon of the New York Liberty will represent the WNBA.

Also playing will be NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton and former NBA player Kenny Smith.

What is hilarious is that Luke Walton made the "A" list, while Bibby Okafor, Amare and Rip were in the "players to be named later..." portion of the article

I hope Bill Walton and Luke Walton face off.

Walton mentioned first is just plain stupid...

Home-cooking though.. I guess.

 

[loopymitch]

I'm surprised Bibby would do that, he's usually so private but that's great that he is. I will be glued to that show this week.

Home-cooking though.. I guess.

Its AP, so I don't know about home-cookin', but it's definitley because he's the LA Laker in the group.

Good for Mike! Hope he wins a lot for those hurricane-devastated folks.

Just don't give him this one: D-E-F-E-N-S-E


Sorry, just couldn't resist!

Look again.

NBA week, airing Oct. 31-Nov. 4.

Whoo! I love that show! Too bad it is a moth and a half away!! Go Mike, Amare, and RJ!

Would someone please, when the time comes bump this tread up so people can remember?

 

[VF21]

Bball - Don't you have a calendar? You could always write it down, you know.

 

[Bballkingsrock]

Yeah, I know, but too lazy.

 

[VF21]

Here's an alternative:

Use the convenient CALENDAR function of Kingsfans.com...

 

[Bballkingsrock]

That is a good idea!

But it isnt working. I think you have to add the event because I am not allowed too. Or do I not know how to do it?

 

[VF21]

Oh... hmmm...

I thought there used to be a "private" option on the calendar.

Ooops.

Never mind.

 

[T[MaC]]

Yayyyyy for Mike..

But i would have prefered he play in the game on Sunday.

[PejaFanatic]

Mike is a stud. I can't wait.

 

[loopymitch]

Look again.





They're TAPING on Thursday.

I kinda figured out I had the date wrong when I tuned in.

 

[Elise10]

At first I was surprised about Mike's participation on the Wheel of Fortune.

Until I realized that Brad was on Wheel of Fortune last year.

Anyway I hope Mike has fun and that he does well. It should be very interesting to say the least.

 

[may3one]

I can't wait to watch it!! how much longer?? about a month and a half?? ahh, i can't wait. hehe. i love seeing mike out and about since he doesn't do it every often.

 

[iheartBrad]

Lmao

 

[kingsqueen10]

does anybody know if they are taping it in L.A.???

 

[PixelPusher]

I hope Bill Walton and Luke Walton face off.

I think that's a TERRRRRRRRRRIBLE idea! HOOOOOOOOOORIBLE! It's the worst idea in the HISTORY of national television!

 

[mouse]

Watching game shows is my idea of hell; but, yeah, I'll watch Mike.
