CLEVELAND (WJW)– A mix of musicians, actors and athletes took the court Friday night at the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland.
Fans showed up with signs and cheered for their hometown favorites.
Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett left his mark on the game with his unstoppable dunks, while it was no surprise Cavaliers legend Anderson Varejao led in rebounds, and Olympic gold medalist in the high jump Gianmarco Tamberi proved he has hops on and off the track field for Team Nique.
Peleton instructor Alex Toussaint ran laps around the competition, putting up 18 points. That coupled with singer Jimmie Allen‘s 21 points helped Team Walton to victory.
Toussaint took home the MVP trophy.
