A tour of All-Star weekend's hottest events

Whenever you get the NBA's best players in one city for All-Star weekend, there is bound to be a party. It is just as much about the play on the court as playtime once the game is over.

I put in a lot of exhausting groundwork to attend the hottest parties of the weekend (my job is tough, but someone's got to do it) to show you what makes the event jump. Here are just a few of the events that put the "star" in All-Star weekend:

All-Star Celebrity Golf Invitational

Event: A celebrity golf tournament where Average Joes with more than average money get paired up with a sporting legend for 18 holes of golf on a famous course. They ride around in golf carts together all day, probably striking up really awkward small talk.

When: A Friday 8 a.m. tee time, also known as "way too early" for those of us who stayed up experiencing the All-Star festivities the night before.
