NBA stars to play in Katrina relief game
By The Associated Press  |  September 7, 2005

LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Garnett and other NBA stars will play in a game Sunday in Houston to benefit Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

 
TNT basketball analyst Kenny Smith organized the game at the Toyota Center. It will start at 5 p.m. EDT and will air on TNT at 11 p.m. EDT.

Organizers said Wednesday that participating players will donate money and supplies valued at more than $1 million to aid Katrina victims. Players are scheduled to hand out truckloads of supplies to shelters across the city before the game.

Other players set to play include: Steve Francis, Sam Cassell, Jermaine O'Neal, Ron Artest, Stephon Marbury, Chauncey Billups, Paul Pierce, Lindsey Hunter, Alonzo Mourning, Charles Oakley, Antonio McDyess, Amare Stoudemire and Derrick Coleman.





I checked and it airs at 8:00 pm on the West.

Well I think since it was rushed that it was probably the fastest time they could get everybody at the same place at the same time.
Plus I think that's why it's going to be taped earlier in the day and then aired later after the football games have been played.
