With the NBA lock-out at hand, NBA stars have arranged a basketball tour to raise money for charity.
The group is led by LeBron James, Chris Paul, Dwayne Wade, and Carmelo Anthony.
The Homecoming Tour will begin in December 1 in Akron, Ohio. The team will also play in New Orleans, Chicago, and New Jersey.
“I am so excited to have this opportunity to participate in this tour,” expressed Anthony is a press statement. “To couple two of the things I love to do -- play basketball and give back—is special. This is just the beginning of a movement to facilitate change in our communities and I am happy to be a part of a group of guys willing to lead the charge.”
Reports claim that Chris Bosh will also join the touring All-Stars. The rest of the rosters have yet to be determined, with lineups pegged to “change considerably” from city to city.
The proceeds of the four-game event will be donated to the headlining players’ charity organizations.
On the bigger scale, negotiations for the league’s union disputes seem far from happening. The NBA has cancelled the games through December 15. And no talks have been scheduled before the stated date.

Five arrests were made in relation to the death of California high school football player Griffen Kramer, son of former NFL quarterback Erik Kramer.
Three adults and two juveniles were arrested after executed search warrants on six locations on Thursday, according to reports.
Nineteen year old David Nernberg was arrested on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter; however, he has been released on bail. The four others, on the other hand, were apprehended for misdemeanor charges.
The police said that they also arrested two other adults and two other juveniles for related misdemeanors.
The 18-year-old Kramer was found dead at Nernberg’s house last month. While the initial analysis suggests that his death was caused by drug abuse, the final cause is pending a toxicology report.

Rex Ryan, coach of the New York Jets, has issued an apology for heckling a fan in an incident that has been posted on YouTube.
According to reports, the National Football League is currently investigating the exchange between coach Ryan and the fan.
In the video, Ryan is heard shouting foul language to a fan. The incident occurred at halftime as the Jets were losing to the New England Patriots.
The fan, on the other hand, was shouting to the coach that “Belichick (head coach of the Patriots)is better than you.”
“It was an emotional time coming in,” Ryan said in a statement. “I obviously made a mistake. I was full of emotion and just popped off. Obviously I know I represent the National Football League. I know I represent the Jets. And I know it was a mistake. I apologize for it. This is who I am. I made a mistake. I'm about as big a competitor as there is.”
