Anthony Anderson Returns
4 of 4
While he may be a coach at this year's game, Anderson has appeared in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game multiple times before.
The star of the hit TV show Black-ish and the Scary Movie film series, he was one of the game's OGs, having competed in the first one back in 2003.
It remains to be seen how he does on the sidelines, or if he laces up and appears in the game at all, but he has carved out a legacy for himself at the game since its inception, with few other celebrities more equipped to turn coach for the annual event.
He will have his work cut out for him, though, as the 2025 game MVP, Rome Flynn, is on the opposing team.
