Every year, the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game is what kicks off the weekend's festivities. Ahead of the latest installment of this event, here is a quick look back at some of the notable standouts in recent years.

At first, a handful of celebrities would just compete in a friendly basketball game. However, from 2005 on, the league spiced things up by adding an MVP award to the mix.

Over the past two decades, an assortment of celebrities have taken home MVP honors. Only two people have won it on multiple occasions, those being Kevin Hart and longtime NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens.

This year, the field of players is celebrities and a handful of former WNBA and NBA All-Stars. Among those partaking in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game this year include Druski, Kai Cenat, Noah Kahan and Shaboozey. The game is set to tip off at 7:00 pm Eastern Time Friday and will air on ESPN.
