Actor Jason Sudeikis is showing that he can play some basketball.

On Friday night, the annual NBA All-Star Celebrity Game is taking place from the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto, Canada. It features celebrities from the USA versus celebrities from Canada. Comedian Kevin Hart and rapper Drake are coaching their respective teams.

The game is full of former NBA players, actors, comedians, musicians and even a WNBA player. One actor involved in the game is former Saturday Night Live cast member Jason Sudeikis, who has seen his entertainment career take off in recent years. He is having a film come out in the movie theaters on Feb. 19 called “Race”, a story about former Olympian Jesse Owens.

Well, during Friday’s game, Sudeikis showed that has some basketball skills. He slid past the pillow-soft defense and put in a nice layup early in this exhibition game.

With fiancee Olivia Wilde at courtside, Sudeikis will probably be continuing to show off his basketball skill that he seemingly has. Maybe he was a top high school star back in the day.

The NBA All-Star Celebrity Game is ongoing and is sure to feature some bizarre moments. Maybe he’ll win the MVP award with Hart not able to win his 5th since he is coaching.
