The greatest celebrity NBA All-Star performances in history

Although the actual NBA All-Star may not be great, the celebrity All-Star game has shown great entertainment for the fans in the past, with celebrities from all walks of life showing their basketball abilities.

From Hollywood actors to YouTubers and streamers, the celebrity game has wowed fans, with some stars giving a glimpse of their elite basketball ability.

In this year's game, Team Shannon Sharpe beat Team Stephen A Smith 100-91, with Micah Parsons winning the 2024 Celebrity All-Star game MVP, as reported by the NBA website.

Nevertheless, here are the greatest celebrity NBA All-Star performances in history!

In 2023, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf won the NBA All-Star Celebrity MVP, putting on a showstopping performance of 20 points, 10 rebounds, and some monster dunks, according to the BetWay website.

Throwing down dunks is an extremely rare occurrence in the celebrity game, and his athleticism is down to being a world-class athlete rather than a celebrity, so you can't take too much away from his performance in the game.

Like Metcalf, Terrell Owens is another NFL wide receiver who showcased his full athleticism in the celebrity game, becoming a two-time celebrity MVP in 2008 and 2009.

As reported by Sports Illustrated, Owens had two blockbuster performances in the years he won MVP, scoring 18 points in 2008 and 17 points in 2009.

Actor and comedian Kevin Hart had to be on this list, becoming an icon at the all-star weekend and being voted a four-time MVP only because the fans love him.

Away from the Celebrity All-Star game itself, Hart did the unthinkable in 2016, defeating four-time NBA champion Draymond Green in a three-point competition, with Green scoring 11 points and Hart finishing with 13 points, as reported by Essentially Sports.

Migos rapper Quavo is also a two-time NBA All-Star Celebrity MVP, making his debut in 2018 and scoring 19 points to win the MVP award in his first game.

In 2019, the Atlanta rapper had one of the greatest games in Celebrity All-Star history, scoring 27 points and taking the game extremely seriously, displaying a high level of basketball IQ, according to BetWay.

One of the best but most unlikely players to feature in the NBA Celebrity All-Star game was Arne Duncan, Barack Obama's former Secretary of Education.

Duncan played college basketball at Harvard and dominated the game in 2014, scoring 20 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, and six assists, but Kevin Hart was named MVP. Despite that, Hart shared the MVP with Duncan.

The most recent NBA Celebrity All-Star game was dominated by the Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, who scored a staggering 37 points and 16 rebounds to win the MVP, according to the NBA website.

The three-time Pro Bowl linebacker won the MVP award with a series of monstrous dunks, aggressive downhill drives, and elite skill. Parsons predicted he would score 40 but fell three short in the end.
