The All-Star weekend is finally upon us and the festivities kick off with Friday's NBA All-Star Celebrity Game 2022. If we are to base it on the history of this exhibition match, then we should be in for quite a treat.
The first event of what is expected to be an electric All-Star Weekend is scheduled to take place on Friday, February 18th at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET. It is set to be held at the Wolstein Center in downtown Cleveland with ESPN securing the rights to air the broadcast on live national TV. The Celebrity Game will be headlined by the likes of hip-hop stars Quavo, Jack Harlow, and Machine Gun Kelly. Cleveland Browns player Myles Garrett will also be taking part in the contest, as well as Cleveland mayor Justin Bibb.

The event will be broadcasted live by ESPN on national TV. You are also able to watch the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game 2022 via live stream services such a fuboTV and Sling.

More
The NBA All-Star Celebrity Game 2022 will be a spectacle for fans to enjoy. However, there are still a number of legitimate ballers worth keeping an eye on here. Obviously, Dearica Hamby and Crissa Jackson are two female athletes that play basketball for a living. Hamby is a star for the Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA while Jackson is a member of the famed Harlem Globe Trotters. Be that as it may, a lot of folks are seeing rap icon Quavo as a favorite to bag this year's Celebrity Game MVP title, as he's already done in the past.
Whatever the case may be, we should be in store for some pretty entertaining basketball.
