NEW YORK - When the best players in the NBA are introduced at the start of their annual all-star game next month, there will be no generic synthesizer music blaring in the background.

Instead, the players will get to strut onto the floor to the sounds of OutKast.
Big Boi and Andre 3000 will perform their hits "The Way You Move" and "Hey Ya!" at the beginning of the Feb. 15 game, the NBA announced this week.
The duo is up for six Grammy nominations next month, including album of the year and best rap album for "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below." "Hey Ya!" is up for record of the year.
Christina Aguilera (news) will sing the national anthem before the game at Staples Center in Los Angeles, and Nelly Furtado (news) will sing the Canadian anthem.
The game is scheduled to air live on TNT beginning at 8 p.m. EST.
Lineups are expected to be announced sometime next week. Fans pick the starters from the Eastern and Western conferences and coaches assign the reserve players.
