From rapper GloRilla to actor Keegan-Michael Key to sports stars Jeremy Lin and Jason Williams the teams were mixed for this year's NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.
Kicking off the NBA All-Star 2026, a weekend of basketball, the green carpet was packed at the venue in Inglewood, Los Angeles on Friday (February 13).
"I think it's a beautiful thing to be able to get basketball really spread around the world," said former basketball player Richard Jefferson.
Explaining that the celebrity game brings people from all walks of life together: "I just love it when we can get people outside of the basketball community to come play and have fun and show that they enjoy it," Jefferson said.
The stars were divided into two teams for the game. 'Team Antetokounmpo' was under the watchful eye of coaches including Giannis Antetokounmpo and 'Team Anderson' - with coaches including Anthony Anderson.
The professional All-Star game is set to take place on Sunday, when USA Stars take on Team World.
