Guy Fieri and José Andrés have a lot in common. They're both world-famous chefs, they both seem to be pretty nice guys, and they both are totally down to throw their weight behind a cause. What they're not known for having are skills on the basketball court, so that's why it's a little surprising that they're going to be competing against each other in the NBA’s All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game.

The game, which takes place on Valentine's Day, consists of two teams, one coached by ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and the other coached by ESPN's Michael Wilbon, Eater reports. Guy will serve as Stephen's assistant coach, while José will be playing on Michael's team.

While we won't see them go directly head-to-head, we can all hope there will be a bit of friendly, food-related smack talk. It is sponsored by Ruffles, after all, so food will be involved somehow, you guys!

All joking aside, Guy and José have teamed up to help feed victims of natural disasters, including the most recent California wildfires, so there's likely no actual bad blood between them...but maybe they'll give us a little something anyway.

Also competing in the game are Great American Baking Show: Holiday Edition co-host Anthony "Spice" Adams, rapper Quavo, and singer Bad Bunny, among many others. It's going to be FUN.

The game is part of the larger All-Star Weekend and will be televised on ESPN if you're interested in watching it all go down.
