The game will be played on Friday, February 16th, and should be another fun one, just like in previous years. Since 2005, the All-Star Celebrity Game has given actors, models, singers and professional athletes from different sports a chance to showcase their talents in basketball and play alongside some former NBA players. The event has not disappointed as it has brought a lot of excitement and even laughs to fans who watch it. Just last year, NBA impersonator Brandon Armstrong put on a show and was named MVP of the game.
Win Butler, who was named MVP in 2016, will also participate and it will be very interesting to see him share the court with Armstrong in what promises to be a highly competitive and fun matchup. It's also worth noting that McGrady and Pierce will both be playing coaches and will be calling out the plays for their respective teams.
