Anthony: Yeah, that was… that's what I'm saying. This is real. Like, this was a conversation! Cousins: They sent you, what, the Mardi Gras jersey? Anthony: Fire. Cousins: It had to be like purple, gold, green. Anthony: Yeah, it was’ the Mardi Gras one. They sent me one… No, the red one. That's the one. The red one.

He'll also be at the King Cake Festival in Thibodaux this weekend. He's available for private bookings too, Shannon tells Axios. It's $150 for 30 minutes and $300 for an hour.

Marc Berman: NBA makes it official with All-Star Game moving to New Orleans. It's first weekend of Mardi Gras parades. Good luck finding rooms.
The 2013 game will be played in Houston, and Mardi Gras falls on March 4 in 2014, well after the usual mid-February date for NBA All-Star weekend. Mardi Gras falls in mid-February in 2015 and 2016, so if the NBA had given the 2014 event to New York, as some predicted, it would not make sense to hold the game in New Orleans again until 2017. By then, Benson would be 89 years old. Stern was in New Orleans on Monday to introduce the New Orleans Saints owner as the new Hornets owner. The two announced an agreement Friday for Benson to take over the Hornets, who have often been on shaky ground since arriving in the Big Easy in 2002.
