An oft-overlooked segment of the NBA All-Star Weekend, the annual Celebrity All-Star Game (Friday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN) is back and riddled with exciting names.
NBA All-Star Celebrity Game 2017 live stream: Time, TV schedule, and how to watch online
A guide on how to watch the star-studded event.

While Kevin Hart isn’t scheduled to make an appearance for the first time in what seems like forever (though it’d be surprising if he didn’t somehow find a way to shoehorn himself into the event), the star-studded rosters on each side should produce plenty of highlights and provide a perfect segue into the weekend’s main events.
The East and West teams will be coached by SportsCenter’s Michael Smith and Jemele Hill, respectively. Draymond Green and former 106 & Park host Rocsi Diaz will join Smith as assistant coaches for the East, while Kyle Lowry and rapper Fat Joe will accompany Hill on the West’s bench.
The West lineup features Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban — who is making his return to the celebrity game after a 2010 appearance — as well the father-son tandem of Romeo Miller (best known as Lil’ Romeo), and Master P.
WNBA star Candace Parker and NBA legend Baron Davis, who showed he still has game during a brief stint in the NBA D-League last season, should also provide a fun offensive one-two punch to watch for the West.
The East roster contains reigning Celebrity Game MVP Win Butler, lead singer for Arcade Fire, in addition to Brazilian basketball legend Oscar Schmidt. The always-flashy Jason “White Chocolate” Williams, Milwaukee Bucks owner Marc Lasry, WNBA star Lindsey Whalen, and NBA2k TV personality Rachel DeMita help round out an already entertaining East squad.
A full breakdown of each roster courtesy of NBA.com is available here.
