The NBA All-Star Celebrity Game is the chance for some of the biggest names in music, television, movies, and other sports to live out their complete basketball fantasies. Usually taking place two nights before the official NBA All-Star Game, the celebrity game often raises thousands of dollars for charity. After all, who wouldn’t want to see Kevin Hart take on Win Butler in a one-on-one matchup? The inaugural NBA All-Star Celebrity Game took place in 2003, and featured stars like Ice Cube, Nelly, Justin Timberlake, Jamie Foxx, Anthony Anderson, Brian McKnight, and Tim McGraw. Over the following 15+ years, the game would feature celebs like Wilmer Valderrama, Ryan Cabrera, Bow Wow, Chris Brown, Nick Cannon, Terry Crews, Master P, Carrot Top, Chris Tucker, Terrell Owens, Dr. Oz, Mark Cuban, Rob Kardashian, Justin Bieber, and more. Many competes for the title of MVP (Brian McKnight would win the inaugural MVP award in 2005), with Kevin Hard winning the fan-voted award four years in a row.
