As the majority of the NBA community should be aware, the 2024 NBA All-Star Celebrity game took place and fans got to see some prominent personalities display their basketball talents.
Although Kai Cenat is best known for his online streaming and YouTubing, he has always been quite passionate about the NBA and has followed its activities over the years. Cenat was allowed to participate in the All-Star celebrity game but did not live up to the expectations that were set for him.

Micah Parsons beats top celebrities to the MVP award
Although former NBA players such as Ron Artest and basketball influencers such as Tristan Jazz were a part of Team Stephen A., Micah Parsons ended up outplaying all of them and finished the night with 37 points, 16 rebounds, and 3 assists.
To those who do not know much about Micah, he is an NFL star currently playing for the Dallas Cowboys. Given the amount of physicality and force that he is used to playing with, it was no real surprise that Parsons recorded a monster double-double to lead his team to victory.
Russell Westbrook’s infamous photo at the 2014 NBA MVP award ceremony resurfaces
Veteran NBA fans will remember that Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant began their careers as teammates who played for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Although they were never able to bring a championship to the franchise and soon went their own separate ways, there is no denying that this duo had incredible potential.
Out of the two of them, KD was viewed as the superior star and talent. After all, his size and shooting skills were second to none. As a result, Durant won the 2014 NBA MVP award. While KD was making his acceptance speech, a picture of Westbrook’s disgruntled reaction was captured.
