Celebs are starting to get announced for the 2024 NBA All-Star celebrity game
Even though the event is less than two weeks away, the participants for the 2024 NBA All-Star celebrity game have not been announced. However, one talk show host recently let the world know she'd be participating.
While on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" last week, Jennifer Hudson announced that she will be suiting up in the 2024 NBA All-Star celebrity game. Part of the decision stemmed from being part of a family of basketball fans. Hudson also said she's doing it to honor her brother's birthday that is that same weekend.
Before becoming a talk show host, Hudson was most known for her music. Her first big break came on "American Idol," where she finished in the top 10. From there, she went on to release three stuido albums. Hudson's last album, "JHUD," came out in 2014. Following her time in the music space, she went on to explore careers as an actress and talk show host.
Along with announcing her intent to play, Hudson has also begun preparing for the celebrity game. She had longtime LA Lakers guard Derek Fisher on her show to give her shooting and dribbling pointers.
For those who want to tune in to the event, the 2024 NBA All-Star celebrity game will take place on Friday, February 16th. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. Eastern Time and will be aired on ESPN.
