Kareem and Katherine

NBA All-Star Weekend is always fun and never predictable, but this photo takes it to another level. The tall man with the Darth Vader mask is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, who posted the pic to his Twitter account. Posing with Kareem is SI Swimsuit model Katherine Webb. Why is Kareem wearing a Darth Vader mask? How did Katherine find her way into the photo? I don't know the answer to such questions but it is a hell of a photo.
