Football player DK Metcalf (C) receives the MVP trophy during the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game
The 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend kicked off in Salt Lake City on February 17 with Ruffles All-Star celebrity game. Between the two teams playing in the Celebrity Game, Team Dwyane Wade stolea hard-fought 81-78 victory against Team Ryan. The talk of the game was NFL star DK Metcalf who impressed every one so much with his hooping skills that he was awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the game. The game wasn't without drama as WWE Wrestler The Miz almost scored a game-winning buzzer-beater for Team Ryan. Nonetheless, the second-most star-studded All-Star Celebrity Game lived up to its expectations of drama, blitz, flying and some decent hooping with Metcalf being the highlight.
The Seattle Seahawks wide receiver, in his MVP performance, scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks for Team Dwyane Wade, which was being captained by the three-time NBA champ and Utah Jazz minority owner Wade. Metcalf's double-double was not the only thing to be noticed though, as the WR also showed off his skills with a bunch of dunks during the game. Even on defense, Metcalf continued to impress by blocking and sending back shots at regular interval. Here are some of the tweets showing Metcalf exploding in the All-Star Celebrity game:
