The NBA All-Star game never fails to entertain fans by mixing the NBA's best players and Hollywood's hottest celebrities on one court, at the same time.
Of course, this year was no different. A number of A-list stars played in the game in New Orleans, including comedian and actor Kevin Hart, who was named MVP of the celebrity game after his East team beat the West, 86-54. Previous MVP's named at the game included Justin Bieber, Michael Rapaport and Terrell Owens, reports Sport Illustrated. It should also be noted that Roc Nation rapper J. Cole helped the East team reach victory in the celebrity game.
However, the court wasn't the only place packed with celebrities. In the audience, a number of celebs were spotted including R&B singer Chris Brown, rapper Wale, NFL star Victor Cruz and director Spike Lee.
Pharrell kicked off the show with an all-star performance featuring hip hop legends Nelly, P. Diddy and Snoop Dogg. During his performance, the superstar singer-producer performed a number of hits including "Frontin," his Neptunes collaboration with Nelly, "Hot in Herre," and then "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)" among other songs, reports E! News. The Grammy-winning producer also got the audience on their feet with his recent hits "Get Lucky" and "Happy."
During halftime, Janelle Monae took the stage, where she was joined by Gary Clark Jr. and Trombone Shorty. During their 12-minute set, they performed 70's-themed songs "Shining Star" and "Bright Lights".
