Los Angeles Rams Pro Bowl wide receiver Puka Nacua also showed off his impressive athleticism, exciting the crowd with several dunks on the way to 16 points of his own for Team Shannon.

The game also featured the debut of the NBA's LED full-video court, which led to several creative moments such as a moving three-point line in the fourth quarter and highlights throughout the contest being displayed on the floor.

The two teams were led by ESPN analysts Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe. Assistant coaches for Team Stephen A. were rapper Lil Wayne and two-time WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson, while rapper 50 Cent was an assistant coach for Team Shannon.

Parsons is the second consecutive NFL player to win the MVP award in the All-Star Celebrity Game after Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf earned the honor in 2023.
