MVP Prediction
3 of 3
In the 2024 NBA Celebrity All-Star Game, Wang spent 21 minutes on the floor and scored 18 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the floor.
The Chinese actor, most known for his role as Dongfang Qingcang in the Netflix series Love Between Fairy and Devil, returns to the game for the second year and if he can maximize his minutes like he did a year ago and build on that performance, will have as great a chance as any other celebrity in Friday's game to be named the game's MVP.
He will have competition.
Cenat and Hayes are also competing in their second celebrity games after debuting at last year's event. While neither had the success that Wang did, they enter with experience and a better understanding of ebbs and flows of the game that other debuting celebrities do not.
WWE Superstar Bayley is one of those first-time players with the potential to make a splash. The first-ever women's triple crown and grand slam champion in WWE history, she took to X to highlight her three-point shot, looking like her favorite player, Steph Curry.
Don't sleep on the Role Model knocking a few of those down and taking home the hardware.
