NBA All-Star Game 2024: The NBA All-Star weekend 2024 in Indianapolis has tipped off with the Ruffles All-Star Celebrity game on Friday. In the lead upto the main event on Sunday, the Celebrity game promised an entertaining ride with A-list stars like Kai Cenat, Micah Parsons, C.J. Stroud and Adam Blackstone all taking center stage.

The NBA Slam-Dunk contest is slated for Saturday but we didn't know that Christmas came early as the Celebrity game show Olympic Long Jumper get up to the board and throw down an absolutely wild Alley-oop in the first quarter to extend Team Stephen A' s lead. The olympian high jumper didn't take a step as moments later he went on an attack and threw down another dunk. He definitely got his highlight reel for lifetime.

If one can do it, so can the other. The Los Angeles Rams rookie sensation Puka Nakua made it a dunk contest as he followed the Olympian's lead in the second quarter and threw down a dunk of his own for Team Shannon. Reflecting on his outrageous effort, Nakua laughed, "I tried to throw it down as hard as I could".

This year's NBA All-Star celebrity game is held between ESPN's Stephen A Smith and Shannon Sharpe. The two ESPN "Firsttake" presenters are coaching the two celebrity teams this year.
