NBA All-Star Celebrity Game 2016: Full highlights and final score
By Jack Crosby
Friday night the NBA All-Star festivities got kicked off with the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.
We’ve reached the midway point of the 2015-16 NBA season, which of course means that it’s time for the NBA All-Star Weekend festivities, which this year will be taking place in Toronto. As usual, to get things started we were treated to the 2016 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.
This year featured Team USA taking on Team Canada, with Kevin Hart leading the US team and Drake being the one to lead on the Canadian squad. It was a little weird seeing Hart not on the floor performing his antics that generally earn him MVP honors, but he was his usual, entertaining self nonetheless.
But as we all sort of expected, Hart was not able to keep himself off the court for too long. With his team down in the second half, he got up off the bench, went to the locker room and game back out in full garb to see if he could will his team to the win. He could not, as the Canadian team got the 74-64 win. Win Butler from the Canadian team was named the MVP.
Here’s a look at some of the highlights from Friday night in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.
