Sports fans will be able to watch the The 2013 Sprint NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on live stream online and TV Friday night.  The annual contest is a fun way to bring in NBA All-Star weekend, with this year's events in Houston, TX.

The live streaming coverage of the celebrity contest will be shown on the WatchESPN sports service online.  WatchESPN is available to many homes across the nation for free, as a courtesy service from internet service providers.  The broadband sports service allows for viewing of events televised on ESPN's various channels, although they may be blacked out in certain regions.

A look at the latest map on the WatchESPN site indicates that a large portion of the Western half of the U.S. will be able to see the game online, while those in states to the  East will only have TV coverage. ESPN will televise the game as well, starting at 7PM EST on Friday night.

The 2013 Sprite NBA All-Star Celebrity game will feature teams captained by Russell Westbrook of the OKC Thunder and James Harden of the All-Star game hosts, the Houston Rockets.  Among the celebs on the rosters will be Olympic gold medal sprinter Usain Bolt, comedian Kevin Hart, rapper Common, WNBA star Maya Moore, singer Ne-Yo, actor Nick Cannon, and former NBA All-Stars Dikembe Mutombo, Clyde Drexler and Sean Elliott.
