That includes the Three-Point Contest and Dunk Contest, as well as the Rising Stars game and Skills Challenge. One of the most anticipated competitions on the extended weekend lineup is the Celebrity All-Star Game (presented by Ruffles), which happens on Friday, February 15, at the Bojangles' Coliseum. The game features celebrities from across music, television and movies, and to make the game more interesting, there are also former professional basketball players added to mix. The participants will be split into a home team and an away team. The home team will feature celebs like ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Williams and 2018 WNBA Rookie of the Year A'ja Wilson, who both have roots in Carolina. The away team will feature Quavo, the reigning MVP and frontman of the Migos, and James Shaw Jr., who thwarted a gunman's attack in a Nashville-area Waffle House early last year. Fans can see if Quavo can pull off the repeat on ESPN. Tip-off time is 7 p.m. ET.

Terrence J is a proven celebrity baller, and so is Famous Los. Two-time NBA champion Ray Allen looks like he's still in game shape, so he could easily take home the trophy if he so chooses, and Jay Williams could throw his name into the hat, too. WNBA Rookie of the Year A'ja Wilson, who averaged 20.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in her debut season for the Las Vegas Aces, is another favorite to win the game's top individual prize, but she'll have to keep a lid on Chicago Sky center Stefanie Dolson. The rest of the field is unknown, but don't be surprised if Luke Cage actor Mike Colter plays like a superhero on the basketball court, too. It would be a great story if either real-life hero James Shaw Jr. or former Marine Jason Weinmann took home the MVP, showing that regular citizens that do extraordinary things can also grab the spotlight, even in a game full of celebrities. The home team will be coached by three-time Olympic champ and Hall of Famer Dawn Staley, while the away team get their X's and O's from Sue Bird of the 2018 WNBA champion Seattle Storm.<doc-sep>Charlie Neibergall/Associated Press Ray Allen is returning to the NBA...as a participant in the All-Star Celebrity Game. Allen was among the players named to the star-studded roster for the 2019 game in Charlotte. The Hall of Famer will team with rapper Quavo, comedian Amanda Seales, singer Bad Bunny and other notables on the away team. The home team will be led by Dr. Oz, actor JB Smoove and former Duke great Jay Williams. Before anyone goes chuckling it up about Dr. Oz's hooping skills, apparently the man can ball. The famed physician showed TODAY his prized basement in his home that features a basketball court in 2017. Based on the clips from the show, Dr. Oz knows his way around a good set shot and form layup. Quavo is the game's reigning MVP and will look to join Kevin Hart and Terrell Owens as the only players to repeat. Hart famously won the award four times before "retiring." The Migos rapper will have major competition on his own team. Allen's shooting stroke is ageless, and he's in good enough shape that people are still asking him about a potential comeback. The only thing we ask here is that he please—please—put Shuttlesworth on the back of his jersey instead of Allen. Do it for the children who don't know the brilliance of He Got Game, Ray. A'ja Wilson and Stefanie Dolson are another pair of potential MVPs considering they, you know, actually currently play professional basketball.
