The NBA All-Star Celebrity Game is set to take place on Friday, February 13th and the NBA has announced the lineup of retired stars, celebrities and overly qualified WNBA players which will have the privilege of gracing the court.
Of course, leading the way is Kevin Hart, comedian and three-time MVP of the event.
The rest of lineup is a good mixture of new celebrities and names which should be familiar to anyone who looks forward to this particular event.
Hart will be joined by film star Ansel Elgort; Anthony Anderson (ABC’s “blackish”); Common (“Selma”); Little League phenom Mo’ne Davis; Arcade Fire’s Win Butler; actor Chadwick Boseman (“42”); “America’s Got Talent” host Nick Cannon; former NBA All-Star and New York Knicks Assistant General Manager Allan Houston; Basketball Hall of Famer Chris Mullin; gold medal-winning U.S. Paralympic athlete Blake Leeper; actor Michael Rapaport; Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera; NBA TV’s “NBA Inside Stuff presented by Samsung Galaxy” co-host Kristen Ledlow; Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan; and WNBA stars Shoni Schimmel of the Atlanta Dream, Skylar Diggins of the Tulsa Shock and Tina Charles of the New York Liberty.
Personally, I can’t wait to see Mo’ne Davis school someone with a wicked crossover. Also, watching Chris Mullin hit three after three will never get old.
Coaching staffs will be made up of Carmelo Anthony, Spike Lee, Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg.
The only disappointment with the lineup is that Arne Duncan won’t be there to dominate the game once again.
