In a contest that pitted several current and former professional athletes together, as well as host of entertainers and famous faces, Common was the best of the best in the 2020 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.
The Hip Hop legend added yet another golden award to his mantle on Friday (February 14) when he won the game’s MVP trophy after posting 10 points, five rebounds and five assists.
“I just feel good being home in Chicago,” Common, who served as team captain for his victorious Michael Wilbon-coached squad, exclaimed. “I just wanted to represent for cats like Quentin Richardson [who also played] … Derrick Rose and all the ballers who come here — [like] Isiah Thomas.”
