Before a packed arena of over 8,000 fans, the Old School team bested the New School team to win the D12 Foundation Orlando All-Stars Game, 114-102. Earlier in the weekend, Howard kicked off the D12 Foundation Celebrity Weekend hosting and bowling in his Celebrity Bowling Tournament fundraiser at Boardwalk Bowl in Orlando on November 12, 2011
