Owens Gets MVP This Time

T.O. just completed an all-star sweep.

Fresh off his sixth career Pro Bowl appearance, Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens gave an MVP performance in Friday night's NBA All-Star Celebrity Game at New Orleans Arena.

Owens' 18 points and three rebounds led the "New Orleans" team to a 51-50 victory over the "Hornets" team in a game featuring the likes of Deion Sanders, former American Idol winner Taylor Hicks and Floyd Mayweather Jr., the super lightweight champion of the world.

Owens caught eight passes for 101 yards and two touchdowns in the NFC's 42-30 win over the AFC this past Sunday, but conference teammate Adrian Peterson was named MVP with 129 rushing yards and two scores.

"Yeah, I got the MVP this time," Owens said Friday, hoisting the trophy and wearing, fittingly, No. 81.

Some quick research: T.O. was a member of Tennessee-Chattanooga's basketball team and appeared in the 1995 NCAA Tournament.
