Lil Wayne kicked off the NBA All-Star festivities in a huge way. The rapper welcomed rappers 2 Chainz, Young Thug and more to his town with a party at Jax Brewery in New Orleans last night.

Other festivities in NOLA were Micheal Jordan's birthday bash.

Wayne was happy to have the games in his hometown this year. Prior to winding down, the rapper sat with Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless to talk about his picks for the playoffs, and recent controversy over his lyrics being taught in a Florida school.
