Halftime at the NBA All-Star game should be just as entertaining as the game, now that Alicia Keys and Usher have been pegged to perform during the festivities.

Unlike the NFL, which has pretty much sworn off urban acts since Janet’s top slipped off at the Super Bowl, the NBA seems a little more in touch with the music we love. Hence, they’ve tapped Grammy Award winners Usher and Alicia Keys to perform at halftime of the 2010 NBA All-Star game in Dallas. pop star Shakira will also join them on stage.

Usher will perform “Yeah” and his new single “More,” which the NBA has adopted as its new theme song for the season. Alicia will “No One,” “Empire State of Mind,” and “Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart.”

Any chance we see them perform “My Boo”?
