If you’re not watching the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game right now, don’t. I’m giving you an out.
There’s hilariously a real, legitimate box score for the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game
Why do they need this!?!
If you are, or if you just want to consume All-Star Celebrity Game content, then here you are. In a silly event featuring some moments of good basketball but many more moments of awful sports-ing, there is a full box score that has everything, even points in the paint and fast break points.
Via SB Nation’s Whitney Medworth, who is there in Los Angeles, here’s what the box scores looked like if you’re interested.
Here’s the half time box
How does Team Lakers have 30 points and only 10 in the paint? I respect that. Team Clippers has 11 second chance points. The teams have combined to shoot 4-of-23 from the field. I respect this.
And here’s the final box
Why is there a full box score for the celebrity game?
It makes sense when you think about it. There’s no live box score online that I could find, but announcers need stats and the league might as well track it. They’re using the same stats system that the G-League All-Star Game, taking place on this same court Saturday, will use. It tracks everything, so why not track everything for this, too?
Still, I’m pretty sure this is the first time that Bubba Watson’s leak out layups had a chance to count as fast break points on an official box score.
