The 2024 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game is in the books. Team Shannon and Team Stephen A. went head-to-head against each other and put on a show for the crowd in Indiana. It was a star-studded game filled with insane highlights and unexpected moves from some of the biggest celebrities in the world. The game was a nail-biter from start to finish and Team Shannon came out with a 100-91 win over Team Stephen A.

While most celebrities had a decent game, the Celebrity Game MVP honors went to NFL star Micah Parsons. The Dallas Cowboys linebacker dominated his opponents throughout the game and led his team to victory. Micah finished with an incredible 37-point and 16-rebound double-double, leaving the NBA World buzzing with his performance. The game was close till the end of the third quarter, but Team Shannon made a run in the final period and took a commanding lead. Parsons predicted at half-time that he would end up with 40 points, but fell 3 points short of his goal. Nevertheless, he was happy going home with some hardware and a win over Stephen A. Smith.

Parsons revealed what led to his insane performance at the Celebrity game during his acceptance speech. “They said, don’t treat it like its football. But I don’t believe that man. I bring my aggression to the court, and I’m taking home this trophy.” Parsons played his heart out throughout the game and pulled every move from his bag. He had some amazing dunks and flaunted his handles by beating his defenders with nasty spin moves. Parsons was also a menace on defense and had 4 steals to add to his 37 points.

While Micah Parsons and Team Shannon were ecstatic about winning the All-Star Celebrity Game, Kai Cenat did not seem too pleased at the MVP trophy ceremony. The streamer was standing with a straight face and did not show any excitement after Micah Parsons was named the MVP of the game. Even during Parsons’ acceptance speech, Cenat stood next to him with a mean mug on his face. Maybe Cenat was unhappy because his teammates did not pass him the ball during the game as much as he wanted to.

During the final minutes of the game, Cenat was asking for a pass at the post, but his teammate shot a three-pointer instead. Cenat was visibly frustrated as the shot was an airball. Cenat predicted a 30-point stat line for himself ahead of the game but finished with only 4 points. Maybe, Cenat can take some lessons from MVP Micah Parsons and redeem himself next year.
