<p>Usain Bolt, do not quit your day job. <br /><br /></p>.<p>The world's fastest man played in a celebrity basketball game on Friday in the run-up to Sunday's NBA All-Star game and failed to impress the crowd -- or himself -- with his skills. <br />Bolt hit one of five shots, missed both of his free throws and totalled just two points in 29 minutes. The only shot the six-times Olympic champion made was a dunk. <br /><br />The Jamaican sprinter, whose East team was blitzed by the West 58-38, said he was surprised that his opponents took the game so seriously. <br /><br />"The West team really played hard," Bolt told Reuters. "I was just taking my time and these guys were running up and down hard. <br /><br />“They were up by 20 in the fourth quarter and they were in a full-court press. I'm thinking, 'This is not a celebrity game.' They were serious,’’ he revealed. <br /><br />Bolt said he did not get the ball enough. <br /><br />Perhaps that was because he missed an uncontested lay-in, had a three-footer clang off the rim, and failed to capitalize on his four offensive rebounds. <br /><br />"I wanted to do more but these guys were hogging (the ball)," he said with a smile. "They didn't give me no chances or nothing. <br /><br />“I haven't played basketball in a while. For me to come out here and have fun, that was the key,’’ he added. <br /><br />The man Bolt guarded most of the game, US Education Secretary Arne Duncan, scored 11 points had five assists and outrebounded Bolt 7-6. <br /><br />"He's the world's fastest man and I'm the world's slowest," the 48-year-old Duncan said. <br />"He might not have scored much but he sure looked good going up and down the court,’’ he added.</p>
