Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard will make two public appearances to promote the adiPower Howard 2.0, his newest signature shoe from adidas, during All-Star Weekend 2012. These appearances are free and open to the public, offering fans the opportunity to snap photos with and receive autographs from Howard, who led all players in voting for the 2012 NBA All-Star Game. Autographs are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so adidas advises fans to arrive early.

Both of Howard's appearances are set for Saturday, February 25th. The first is scheduled for the adidas Store at Orlando Premium Outlets. The Orlando Magic superstar will be available there from 4 to 5 PM. Next, he'll appear at the Champs Sports in the Florida Mall from 5:30-6:15 PM.

Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose, the NBA's reigning Most Valuable Player, will make one appearance during All-Star Weekend. He'll be at Foot Locker Center Court at the Florida Mall on Sunday, February 26th, from 12:15-1:15 PM to promote the release of the adizero Rose 2.5, the lightest of Rose's signature shoes. Like Howard, Rose will be available for photos and autographs.

Orlando Premium Outlets is located at 8200 Vineland Ave. in Orlando; the Florida Mall's address is 8001 S. Orange Blossom Tr., also in Orlando.

John Wall and Javelle McGee are also doing something at NBA City. I don't know when, but I was Wall tweet about it. I wish I could go down there or they'd bring ANY All-Star game to MN. We haven't had an NBA one since '94, MLB since '85 (I wasn't even born yet!), NHL one since '04 (I wasn't big into graphing then). Anyone who is in Orlando this weekend, I am jelous of them.

beachboy22-For Rose in Chicago, I would arrive a minimum of 4 hours before for a free signing, and even that might not be enough. In Orlando, I'm not sure.
Also, I don't know how often Dwight Howard signs in the area. I'd probably call and find out if they are giving out wristbands or numbers, and plan on getting there way before noon time...

Wristbands are key. I got screwed over because of that at a Rose signing out here in LA. They gave wristbands the day before
