While this upcoming weekend is all about the NFL, Super Bowl, and of course the headliner, Bad Bunny, the NBA’s All-Star Weekend will be from February 13 to 15. The All-Star game is always the big show on that Sunday evening, but there are also a lot of other activities the fans can watch over the three days.

Besides the Dunk Contest, the 3-Point Contest, the Skills Challenge, and the Rising Stars Game, the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game is always fun. This year, Badshah will be the first Indian Hip Hop star to participate in the game. He will be joined by a star-studded roster of celebrities from music, film, TV, Disney, Marvel, MLB, and the NFL. Joining Badshah’s team will be former NBA star, White Chocolate Jason Williams, actor Simu Liu, music producer Mustard, and many more. Badshah’s team will be coached by Anthony Edwards, Lethal Shooter, and Chris Brickley. On the opposite side of the court, the three Antetokounmpo brothers will be the coaches as well as players like NBA insider Shams Charania, former NBA player Jeremy Lin, rapper Glorilla, and more.

Badshah said, “I’m beyond excited to be part of this incredible event and take Indian hip hop center court during NBA All-Star Weekend. Basketball has always been one of my biggest passions, and playing on the same court as legends from the NBA, NFL, Hollywood and music is truly an honour. The NBA represents a powerful mix of sport, culture and self-expression, and as basketball’s fan base continues to grow in India, it’s exciting to represent that energy on a global stage. I can’t wait to bring my energy, my game and some unforgettable moments for fans around the world!"
