NEW YORK -- John Legend has gotten the green light from the NBA to sing at its annual all-star game.

Latin rock star Juanes will join Legend at the Feb. 15 All-Star event in Phoenix. They will sing "If You're Out There," an anthem about leadership, from Legend's recent album, "Evolver."

The game will air live on TNT.

The National Basketball Association says Legend and Juanes were chosen because of their dedication to community service, a theme that will be highlighted during their performance as they spotlight the NBA Cares program.

Legend's latest hit is the song "Green Light" with Andre 3000.
