Win Butler loves basketball. At 6"4', he is a tall man, just about set up for a career as a combo guard rather than a life of anthemic indie rock as the lead singer of Arcade Fire. Every chance he gets, he throws down. He competes. He runs and jumps and converts easy lay-ups. He did it at a charity game in 2011 just as he did it at last year's Celebrity All-Star game in Toronto, where he came home with the MVP award. For Win Butler, ball is life.Butler didn't come away from last night's celebrity All-Star game in New Orleans as the MVP—that honor went to former pro and NBA impressions man Brandon Armstrong—but he did put up a double-double with 22 points, 11 rebounds, and a really cool headband. Plus his East defeated the West 88-59. Just look at this guy.
