Comedian Kevin Hart captures 4th NBA All-Star Celebrity Game MVP award
For the fourth time in NBA All-Star Celebrity game history, comedian/actor Kevin Hart took home Most Valuable Player honors.
Hart scored 15 points on 5-of-12 shooting along with two rebounds in a 59-51 loss to the West Celebrities. Undoubtedly, Hart's fame – not necessarily his play – netted Hart the rare distinction.
The West was led by WNBA star Skylar Diggins and Memphis Grizzlies part-owner Robert Pera. Diggins brought steadiness at the point and finished with 13 points along with four assists, while Pera shot 5-of-6 from the field for 13 points.
Not to be overlooked, the frontcourt of NBA Hall-of-Famer Chris Mullin and Arcade Fire lead singer Win Butler both managed to record double-digit rebounds while scoring eight points apiece.
Little League pitching sensation Mo'ne Davis found herself as the crowd favorite, but she struggled with her shot. Davis finished with four points on 1-of-8 shooting, but her only make came at the expense of Hart, as she completed a fantastic spin move to shed a broken Hart.
