From my seat, NBA All-Star weekend is a moment of laughter. Celebrities are out, the world’s most productive basketball players combine to enjoy each other’s company over the weekend, and of course there are all the great occasions. place.
Lost in the sauce of Saturday festivities and Sunday’s game, the Celebrity All-Star Game on Friday night. The game is never good, as there are many participants who probably take a basketball more than a few times a year. it regularly leaves us with at least one or two moments that make us say “WOW. “
Here are a few moments that stand out from the rest.
J. Cole is one of the greatest rappers in the world, but if you’ve followed his career, you know his center is on basketball. So much so that Cole took his craft seriously enough to paint his way to a professional basketball team in Africa. But even before that, find that some of their most prominent mixtapes and albums feature art somewhat similar to basketball.
Let’s go back to that moment when J. Cole hit Kevin Hart with a balloon in 2012.
He tried to catch a dive at All-Star Weekend 8 years later, but it didn’t go as planned.
A tall 6’3″ Olympic jumper in his twenties?He looks like the kind of athlete who can shine on the big stage. Oh yes, Tamberi won a gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. But the big scene I’ I mean this Celebrity All-Star Game.
Tamberi left the court in Friday night’s game by two turnovers, the first being the larger of the two.

This is one of his many appearances in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game:
I had to save the most productive for last. We know Myles Garrett is an athletic monster, but what he showed Friday night in Cleveland is indeed outrageous. How can someone so tall and strong be able to get up from the floor like this?Garrett would be competitive in an NBA Slam Dunk contest.
