Prediction

Whichever team gets Vinny Guadagnino has a great chance of winning.

According to NBA.com’s press release,

"

In an All-Star Celebrity Game first, Guadagnino, who plays basketball regularly, rallied his more than 2.7 million Twitter followers who started a social media campaign to convince the NBA and Sprint to add him to the roster.

"

It’s obvious this guy is taking the game seriously and wants to win since he worked so hard to get in.

Most celebs take this game light-heartedly as a way to start All-Star weekend and competition doesn’t get particularly fierce, especially with size and skill mismatches all over the court.

It’s still a fun game and a great way for fans and celebrities to be entertained for a few hours.
