The NBA has announced the rosters and coaching staff for the highly anticipated 2025 Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, scheduled to take place on February 14th at the Oakland Arena. This event, a cornerstone of All-Star Weekend, brings together a diverse lineup of athletes, entertainers, and artists. Coached by notable figures like 2 Chainz, Barry Bonds, and Jerry Rice, the game promises an evening filled with excitement and entertainment. The broadcast team will be led by ESPN's Cassidy Hubbarth as the sideline reporter, alongside play-by-play announcer Mark Jones, Richard Jefferson, and Stephanie White. Fans can look forward to a thrilling showcase of talent from both past and present sports icons, as well as emerging stars from various fields.

The 2025 edition of the Celebrity Game will feature a roster that spans multiple disciplines. Headlining the coaches' bench are hip-hop artist 2 Chainz, baseball legend Barry Bonds, and NFL icon Jerry Rice. These three individuals bring a wealth of experience and star power to the sidelines. The player roster is equally impressive, boasting names such as Shaboozey, Noah Kahan, Mickey Gutierrez, NFL veteran Terrell Owens, streaming sensation Kai Cenat, former NBA standout Baron Davis, basketball coach Chris Brinkley, WWE superstar Bayley, actor Rome Flynn, and WNBA players Allisha Gray and Kayla Thornton. Each participant adds their unique flair to what promises to be an unforgettable night of basketball and entertainment.

Adding to the allure of this year’s event, the Celebrity Game will also serve as a platform for musical performances. Notably, musician Noah Kahan will not only compete on the court but also perform as part of the All-Star Weekend Concert Series. Joining him are other music heavyweights including The Chainsmokers, Flo Rida, Zedd, and Nav. This convergence of sports and music underscores the multifaceted nature of All-Star Weekend, offering fans a comprehensive entertainment experience. Last year’s halftime show was headlined by Jennifer Hudson, setting a high bar for this year’s festivities.

In recent years, the MVP honors have gone to NFL players, with Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys scoring 37 points in 2024 and D.K. Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks achieving a double-double (20 points and 10 rebounds) in 2023. Comedian Kevin Hart holds the record for the most MVP awards, having won four consecutively. As anticipation builds for the upcoming game, all eyes will be on who might claim this prestigious title in 2025. Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN starting at 7 p.m. ET on Valentine’s Day, providing a perfect blend of sport and celebration.
