The NBA All-Star Weekend is always one of the highlights of the season for fans. Because of this, the league is always sure to have a few star performers for the event. On Wednesday, the NBA released a full list of the performers who would be present for this year's star-studded event.
Per Jordan Zirm of Uproxx, J. Cole, Anthony Hamilton, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Meek Mill will all get a chance to wow audiences at the 68th All-Star Game.
Meek Mill is set to open the night with a pre-game performance. The Philadelphia born rapper will then introduce the All-Star Starters.
Charlotte native Anthony Hamilton will sing the U.S. national anthem, fitting as the game will be held in Charlotte this year. Singer Carly Rae Jepsen will follow with the Canadian anthem.




In perhaps the most anticipated musical performance of the night, J. Cole will take center stage during the half time show. Like Hamilton, Cole was raised in North Carolina, which will surely make him a hometown favorite with the crowd.
Even though the game will be filled with musical talent, NBA fans will be paying the most attention to the skills displayed by their favorite players.
We will get to see several new faces take center stage in the Rising Stars game, like rookie phenoms Luka Doncic and Trae Young. We will also see familiar names, like the perennial All-Stars LeBron James and Steph Curry.
Combing some excellent musical performers with the best ballplayers in the world means that NBA fans are in for a treat this year.
