NBA All-Star Celebrity Game 2014: Kevin Hart goes for 3rd straight MVP

Kevin Hart is everywhere.

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

You can’t watch an NBA game on national television these days without seeing a Kevin Hart movie trailer, so it’s no surprise the actor/comedian is headlining the Sprint NBA All-Star Celebrity Game 2014 at 7 p.m. ET Feb. 14 in New Orleans. Hart will be going for this third straight celebrity game MVP.

Joining Hart are some familiar faces as well as some new names. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is back again, as are "America's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon, former NBA player and current ESPN analyst Bruce Bowen, and "E! News" host Terrence Jenkins.
